@jeffcliff @tk @Binder @sun It is endemic. It is never going away. Stop pretending that it could or will.

> and they certainly didn't see the damage to the immune system that covid does coming

Throw the same amount of COVID research money at e.g., seasonal influenza and you'll see the same thing in people that recovered from it, guaranteed.

The only thing particularly special about COVID is we threw so much money researching it and amassed so much data nobody has ever collected before and we're trying to make sense of it. Some of it seems really scary but most of it is just our first ever observation of how our body deals with battling a novel virus and its aftermath.

Also I just realized this is Jeff Cliff (new avatar??) so I know nothing anyone ever says will convince you of anything because you have developed a dangerous phobia to being human.

Good luck Jeff I hope you make it through
