Last year at work somebody said ‘aren’t you worried that when you eventually take off that mask your immune system will be weak?’ This is scientific nonsense pretty much universally believed now, that we all need to be infected with lots of diseases to give our immune system a workout. Like it’s a muscle. It’s a deliberate confusing with the ‘hygiene hypothesis’, that we should all play in the dirt as kids because it gives us useful microbes (that’s true, those are ‘commensal’ or good microbes). Never ever should we deliberately get infected with pathogens, diseases, which are very very bad microbes. We’re seeing the result of this nonsense now. It is bullshit, people, extremely dangerous bullshit. People of all ages constantly sick, and not getting better. It will get much worse still. Read what the experts say below. The last time in history we let everybody get infected by everything all the time, 50% of kids died before they were 15.
