I had a cousin's know it all husband throw this in my face when I explained why I still masked at work.
I responded that the Nordic country that implemented no measures and simply let covid rip through them (maybe it was Sweden??) has simply seen more deaths than its European neighbours who did mask and quarantined and such. So the idea of immunity debt by failing to catch a disease isn't really panning out in reality.
Of course now we see people regularly catching covid like 2 or 3 times a year, and every study just keeps getting bleaker about what that's doing to a body with each infection.
Humans' increasing resistance to auto collisions is forcing cars to get bigger and deadlier to compensate. Eventually, evolution will force today's SUVs and pickup trucks to become either personal off-track locomotives or crab mechas

I'll take my mask off when I'm dead.
It’s healthier for people not to wear seatbelts and then to get into car crashes at least a few times per year.
more car crashes builds up the body's tolerance to car crashes, this is basic immunology

even natural selection favors
