    Yeah, it’s kind of wild. The original point of herd immunity was to cover for people that for whatever reason couldn’t vaccinate. Luckily, the array of bullshit I’m on hasn’t caused huge problems past feeling like shit and becoming lactose intolerant.

        They’ve made some awesome breakthroughs recently. Drugs that end in mab are monoclonal antibodies. Sometimes humanized mouse (chimaeras ftw) or, now, human antibodies. Expensive as fuck, but it’s the only thing I take for RA that isn’t some form of poison or something with annoying side effects.
