We’ve known since at least 2019 that the measles virus can effectively erase immunity to diseases contracted earlier. So we might survive measles only to contract opportunistic infections we’ve had before and thought we’d beaten... including COVID-19.

And we now know that repeated COVID-19 infections, however “mild,” can increase the likelihood of long COVID — which can do serious damage to the brain, heart, gut and kidneys. Statistics Canada estimates that 3.5 million Canadians have had long COVID symptoms, and in June 2023 half of those still reported no improvement. More than two in five were still experiencing long COVID symptoms a year after infection.

But a whole bunch of us just don't give a shit about anyone except ourselves.

So go ahead deniers ... lose all your immunity to the flu, colds, chicken pox, polio, etc etc etc and see how you like it.

One thing I would really like to remind everyone is there are many people out there immune to some vaccines. My son could not get into the range of efficacy, and every year we were terrified some antivaxxer would get him sick. This poor kid couldn't go to pools, amusement parks, etc, until finally at 16 it worked.

I didn't understand how moronic the public was until I had a doctor say to us "I wish there was another way, but you basically have to keep him out of crowds."

There is another way - get fucking vaccinated. So these people don't just kill themselves, they bring people like my son with them.

Or they eat processed foods, most of which have additives.

Or take random supplements online "recommended" by their favourite podcasters/youtubers.
