    The covids have unexpected health consequences that are way beyond the scope of the flu, including heart conditions, and chronic respiratory problems.

      Yeah, long COVID seems to hit people randomly, and it seems even vaccination status doesn’t make a huge difference.

        It’s not totally random. I’ve noticed it affects self-centered and narcissistic people more frequently, almost like it’s one more justification to be a perpetual victim.

          Didn’t think I’d see the “disabled people are just looking for attention” card being played on Lemmy but here we are.

            Reddit was THE place to be if you were a South Park Libertarian. So it stands to reason that a lot of the chuds will follow the exodus

            I read it as anti-vaxxers, COVID conspiracy idiots, and maybe conservatives in general, not disabled people.

            You know what’s wild? My alzheimer’s patients almost always have the most healthy bodies and rarely complain about pain. They’re not overweight. They don’t get CHF. They pass through COVID and other illnesses with mild symptoms.

            Your simplified strawman contains a seed of truth.

        Did you read the article you posted? I read the overview and intro and really didn’t seem to support your statement.

          They say the same thing for every variant, but of the 300 deaths a day 90% are 65 and older. It’s on par with the flu now.

        Did you post the wrong link?

        You can’t just say some bullshit then post a link and think it backs up what you’ve said. That paper explores the genetic predisposition to COVID susceptibility and not:

        The current COVID is extremely weak and most humans have adapted to it.

        Is there like one sentence in that paper you’ve latched onto that you think justifies your bad take?

          I don’t think you read enough of the report. It goes into showing those genetic markers of that patents of covid. That means that those groups are who should be far more careful than groups without those genetics.
