so please don't pile on me for reporting what happened to us in the last week (I quit Twitter over the anti-vax nut jobs sending me threatening messages for vaccinating my kids)...we are a family of 5 in the US that took Covid seriously, locked down, got fully vaccinated and fully boosted. It's been almost 3 years and none of us got it; until last Sunday. Our oldest was congested and flushed; pulled out a Covid test thinking it would be our hundredth negative...nope. It popped positive immediately. She has tested positive twice since. It was mild and she isolated for 8 days. My point-Covid is not done and I think going into the winter months, it is making a come back. I credit her vaccination status for it being super mild. No cough or respiratory anything. The rest of us continue to be negative and symptom free,

Glad to see you giving credit to the vaccine. I have seen so many people say "Yeah, I got the vaccine and i still got covid. I'm not going to bother getting future booster because covid wasnt even that bad for me". It takes a certain level of intellectual failing to come to a conclusion like that.

Especially when COVID damages the immune system so every time you get it you're risking damaging your immune system.

Considering how many young healthy people died before vaccines, or people that refused vaccines, it’s astounding how short peoples memories are.

That thought process is dangerous. I work with a few of these people. It’s embarrassing to listen to them spew that nonsense.

Not so much intellectual failing as straight dishonesty.

They kind of spelled it out for you.

I hate to say it, but the milder-every-variant thing has been debunked.

Isn't that true of all pathogens, from an evolutionary perspective? It's better for the virus to evolve to kill fewer hosts, as that means more hosts to spread and reproduce from.

That’s the common thinking, but apparently not really? I was bummed when I found out too.
