I know many people allowing themselves to get repeated Covid infections, thinking they’re getting more immune with each infection. They’ve been lied to, and it will shorten their lives. If you don’t control infections the pathogen continues to evolve. The blue diagram shows all the ways that happens. The graph shows what’s happening right now, because we’re not stopping the infections. The red circle is when we were stopping infections early in the pandemic. You can see the virus evolution was below the trend line, flattening out and heading for extinction. Then from late-2021, we decided to ‘live with’ the virus i.e. let people catch it, over and over. The blue circle is what happened next. Mutations well above the trend line, and still accelerating. This is why getting Covid over and over won’t make you immune to it. It does the opposite. It keeps evading our immunity with these mutations, making immunity even further away, with each infection. And it trashes your immune system with every infection, leaving you wide open to a whole range of other dangerous diseases. Which is exactly what we’re seeing right now. I’ve never seen the community this sick. This will only get worse, not better. Life expectancies are in decline, for the first time in a century. That’s your life, getting shorter with each infection.
