    Death is not the only negative outcome from Covid infection. When you consider the literature on Covid causing grey matter loss, prion disease, chronic vasculitis, cardiac disease, autoimmune disease, etc, you could argue death is actually one of the preferred outcomes.

    Immunity isn’t an on/off switch and the virus is mutating to escape immune detection. It seems like you do not have a solid grasp on the kinetics of vaccine and viral immunity, is there a question I can answer for you or would you like some resources that might help improve your comprehension?

      Jesus. Please tell me that’s an extremely rare result. Because that is genuinely fucking terrifying.

        https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10047479/#:~:text=Current work suggests that there,prion disease%2C i.e.%2C neurodegeneration.

        Yeah it’s fully terrifying.

        I’m extra freaked that now Covid is endemic in the deer populations because Cervid Wasting Disease is also endemic and I’m afraid they will interact somehow…

          If you really want to scare yourself go read about FIP, which is what happens to cats when they get repeatedly infected with coronavirus.
