No you're not. Really. I think you're living in a world where you believe if you've had covid you're done and you will never get it or future variants again. That's not how it is. The less often you contract a covid-19 variant the healthier /you/ are likely to be. For the immunocompromised contracting it /never/ is attainable. The less of it around, the lower the velocity of transmission the easier that goal is to attain.
"just give up" is not acceptable policy in either intent or outcome. It's mental, in fact.
- nradov 5y agoNonsense. SARS-CoV-2 is just one more endemic coronavirus. No one is giving up; the vaccines and other treatments reduce the infection fatality rate close to zero. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2108120 https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2108120
- harry8 5y agoWhich variant is that again? All future variants? Must be tricky to get data on that. It's hard enough for reinfection with the Omicron variant and that actually exists in the wild. Death toll this week seems a little higher than your assertion of zero fatality rate would suggest is possible. There's a difference between what we want to be true and reality. Our job is to minimise that difference.
