    Getting charged with "grievous bodily harm to an officer of the law" because the pig tackling you has bird bones due to getting COVID 5+ times.

      I can imagine a new legal niche developing...

      "Are you a police officer or is your loved one a police officer? An officer who has reoccurring covid due to his religious liberty and patriotic duty of not wearing a mask - could later get bone injuries on the job by no fault of their own. We here at HeroCopBrokenBone dot com can help. We have legal and medical expertise you get you just compensation for physical altercations resulting in 'grievous bodily harm to an officer of the law' due to freedom bone loss..."

    Why does this keep sounding like one of the most horrifically debilitating viruses ever?

      But have you considered that Biden lowered the deficit?

      Seriously though - In the coming decades the millions (tens of millions?) of people physically impacted or even disabled (with bone loss or dementia or whatever) will basically be fucked. Health insurance companies will simply deny claims. The dems will reply with vague promises of "fixing the system" which translated into real English will be "Fuck you, jack."

      The dems' response to covid to this point is proof that they'll never support m4a.

      so correct me if im wrong but isn't this something that happens with a lot of nasty contagious diseases? like in the 1800s people could just be 'sickly' their whole lives after getting one disease

      just backsliding and deciding its acceptable again

          idk they didnt mention it in the abstract, i hope they tried to control for it somehow cuz the mice & hamster studies showed loss without symptoms in which case basically anyone in western countries could be liable
