6 July

You’re 1700% more likely to have a heart attack in the week after a respiratory infection, than at any other time. No infection is good for you, most don’t build your immunity, and even those that do create long-term damage to your body. Many also don’t get a flu shot, because they have ‘vaccine fatigue’ (i.e. they’re children in adult bodies). Flu shots cut the risk of heart attacks by 45%. I love my friends and family for trying to get me back into social activities that are certain to get me infected with Covid. I’ll still say no, and try to help keep them alive for longer instead.
