    Oh my god thank you this has been driving me fucking crazy. There is so so little evidence that omicron is less severe, and it clearly infects more vaccinated people which last I checked being sick is more severe than not being sick. That idea is based on a misunderstanding of too early to tell hospital data from South Africa, and a tiny, shitty study in hamsters, and US and UK media have spread it like wildfire. It’s mind boggling.

      framing this as a path to herd immunity is extremely irresponsible and the whole Machine seems completely bought in

        herd immunity doesn't fucking work with covid AND WE'VE KNOWN THAT THE WHOLE TIME. people have been getting covid multiple times from the start. it's what's made the boosters for the vaccine so unsurprising. we will never achieve herd immunity because we will never all get covid in the same 3 month period.

        or idk maybe omicron will do it. maybe it's so fucking infectious that it will literally infect 90+% of the species in a fucking 3 month period. and after we clean up the bodies, we'll finally be free of this disease. or it'll fucking survive and come back around to infect us all again once our immunity slips.

        god I want to throttle anyone who talks about herd immunity. they're just genocidiers who don't have the guts to follow through with their own hands.

              I also have cumulative damage from reinfection.

              First time around, it gave me skin damage on my finger. The skin is became permanently rough and discolored.
              Second time around, this skin thickened to the point where it has no nerve endings there anymore. It basically feels like the glabrous skin on the bottom of your feet, except even less feeling.

              This is on a small patch of skin on my index and middle finger, but I think if I were to continue to go outside and get reinfected, this could eventually lead to gangrene or something.

              Second time around my symptoms were actually a lot less severe too. But it caused more cumulative lasting damage.

            There is also the issue of the vaccine causing long-hauler syndrome, which is totally unsurprising because the spike protein is the main culprit of everything COVID does, and the vaccines contain spike protein too. Unsurprisingly the vaccine long hauler subreddit is quarantined.

            Fuck

      It’s a narrative that has been pushed because it is politically useful. :biden-nibble: come on Jack
