Reply to comment by [deleted] in Hollywood’s Covid Protocols Get Expiration Date; Vaccine Mandate Will End by LordHyperBreath

Yes. We did. There’s nothing left to be done. It’s no longer about if you’re going to get it, everyone is, quite nearly everyone has. You’re just going to get it regularly and when you do the effects will generally be small, but considerably larger than cooronaviruses have been in the past.

We have a new disease which over the long term is going to be about as bad as the flu. Being human got a little more dangerous, but unavoidably so. Spending your whole life trying to avoid all diseases has its own dangers too.

I can’t imagine how many cases of disabilities we’re going to see in 5-10 years from this. We’ve already seen how bad Covid is in terms of increasing heart attack rates and dementia.

The dude below me really trying to keep pushing the whole “vaccines bad” narrative that’s been debunked like a million times already. Your risk of heart issues are significantly higher from Covid infection itself than they are from vaccines.

More or less the entire human population has had it now. It’s happened. People always got sick, people always got degenerative diseases, people always died. We have a significant new cause of death and some people are going to have those things happen sooner. The world will continue turning. There will be a bit of a shock while the new more dangerous rates catch up, then things will settle down.

Maybe we’ll get more research and understanding to the “long” versions of infections which have always been a thing for many different infections. They’re rare and often mild but still always have been present and poorly understood.

What is your expertise? I know for me that I worked in public health for two years so I had access to a lot of epidemiologists. Just curious what your qualifications are in regards to this topic?

I read papers, I evaluate them based on my knowledge and experience. Do that yourself or go find a few people with credentials you value and compare their responses and decide for yourself.

Or just google “covid” and “endemic” and find plenty of papers and articles.

Or try (and fail) to find any serious scientist taking about eradication or just think what the game plan for avoiding infection long term actually could be. (Nothing but how often you get it seems even remotely reasonable)

EDIT: the pattern of people blocking somebody so they can get the final word is a bit sad.

Funny how everyone I know who takes bare minimum precautions like masking and boosting hasn’t gotten it once, but sure, go off

No, you’re wrong, realistically they ALL got it, they just didn’t know it. The vast majority of Covid cases are asymptomatic and harmless. The whole country’s had Covid at this point, and we’ve fully achieved both vaccination immunity and general herd immunity, including people who never got vaccinated.

Pandemic’s over. It’s been over for quite a while.

Everyone I know has gotten covid, regardless of their vaccination status and masking habits.

Funny how I know a ton of people who did mask and boosted but still got Covid. And I also know people who never mask and never vaccinated and never got it. They are all fine since it’s not a big deal though.

Then you should know that even hospitals are getting rid of the requirement to mask. Hell, some hospitals don’t even have Covid patients anymore.
