RSV is actually scary. A friend of mine almost lost his month old baby. No daycare in the house, and rsv just randomly going around in late spring. It makes the bronchial tubes swell which cuts down the volume dramatically when they're young with small bodies— picture a large soft drink straw shrinking to a coffee stirrer straw. Super young babies don't have developed diaphragm muscles that can handle the extra work needed to keep their breathing up, so they end up getting really sick without oxygen and heavy medical intervention. They did also put the RSV vax through a standard long term trial, but it unfortunately came out after the COVID boondoggle. I don't shill for vaccines, but I would feel better about that one than the useless corvid jab or flu shot.
