Being immune doesn't mean that the virus doesn't "attach" to you, or that you somehow repel the virus. You still get the virus and you can transmit it too. You won't get Covid-19 (the pulmonary decease) but you still carry and spread sars-cov-19. > This kind of cowardly Your behavior is not 'bravery', but selfishness.

  CDC reports 0 cases of transmission from naturally immune persons. https://aaronsiri.substack.com/p/cdc-admits-crushing-rights-of-naturally https://aaronsiri.substack.com/p/cdc-admits-crushing-rights-... >> Your behavior is not 'bravery', but selfishness. I never claimed my behavior was brave, but rather OP cowardly. Not sure how you interpret living life normally, as though the statistics of the disease are what they are is selfish. What do you expect to happen, elimination of Covid? When exactly, would it cease to be 'selfish' to live life normally?

    The virus is quite new, and a statement like "this information is not collected" from just one health organization in the world (CDC), people like the one from your link, which is clearly biased, exaggerates the topic for his freedom-oversensitive audience. Note that "this information is not collected" doesn't mean it is not happening. Or perhaps it's being collected but by some university, somewhere in the world. I don't know. Of course "CDC Admits Crushing Rights of Naturally Immune Without Proof They Transmit the Virus" is just incorrect and misleading. It's a title targeted at a specific audience. Some fall for this kind of content. > What do you expect to happen, elimination of Covid? When exactly, would it cease to be 'selfish' to live life normally? You ask the wrong questions. What you ask doesn't have an answer, and you know that.

      I expect adults to be able to read between the hype in the article. What is a 'freedom-oversensitive audience'? The term reeks of privilege at first whiff. It sounds to me like you (and many people) are OK with abandoning/suspending the constitution (assuming U.S.) because of a slightly more deadly flu. It sounds like you're amenable to pushing authoritarianism as long as it suits you. That dog won't hunt bro. A lot of people are fed up with the blatantly unreasonable responses to this virus. You have offered nothing substantive in your reply and no reasoning for them.

I think you are not really understanding the idea behind this proposition. Humanity actually could eliminate all human to human pathogens with planet wide coordinated lockdowns. It is simple as that. Not being able to do this shows maturity of us. It is not really high, I must say when simple stupid automaton can run us over.

  Thanks for taking the time and understanding the point I am trying to make. I think if the SARS-Cov-2 virus continues to mutate faster than we can produce and distribute booster shots, then it might be our only option left. Or we just accept that many millions of our (grand-)parents are going to die. We are already now running into supply chain problems around having enough syringes for 2022.
