This site is wearing me down this past week.

edit: I am more worn down. Shouldn't have posted this thread. Feeling awful about my future.

    I don’t think the idea that damage is cumulative is really settled science.

    covid damages the immune system, making repeat infections more damaging. There might be confounding variables but covid damage being cumulative is absolutely settled science. Even ignoring that, if you keep rolling a d20 the chance of you rolling a 1 at some point approaches one the more you roll.

        We know that covid is particularly damaging to the immune system though. Yes, all infections cause immune system damage, obviously.

                It is obvious you don't know what you're talking about here, please do some research instead of relying on half remembered biology classes. Do you think the immune response erases the stress on your circulatory system from previous infections? Even mild infections damage circulation
