Bypass what politicians, media outlets and friends are telling you about Covid, and go straight to the expertise, like Professor Chris Goodnow. For those who won’t read it, his main points. It’s vastly more serious than a cold, getting it doesn’t in any way ‘get it over with’, and every time you get infected you increase your risk of severe heart, brain, kidney etc. complications proportionally. So double the risk after 2 infections, triple after 3 etc. Vaccination does NOT help reduce that risk, but it does help keep you alive in the short-term. Variant-specific vaccines also won’t fix this. Nothing we currently have in the medical kit is going to fix it. Getting infected certainly won’t. As Chris says, put your masks back on, and stop mixing in groups. Apologies to my friends who probably think I’ve become a hermit. I’m just trained in science, and don’t want to kill or maim my family, friends or myself.
