The vaccines also don’t leave a solid 5-10% of people with permanent cognitive impairment or heart problems.
I’m pissed because we largely shut down society to protect people over 50 from death at first, and now it turns out that young healthy people are the ones getting fucked by endemic long COVID forcing them to go on long term disability, and the boomers are all “cognitive impairment? Lol What’s that?”
Fully agreed. They made the right call getting it out fast. It also means that vaccines against future variants shouldn’t be so harsh. A combined flu and COVID yearly vaccine should be perfectly doable, and would help protect all.
The vaccines don’t block infections totally, but they do give the immune system enough of a head start to stop it progressing to dangerous or damaging levels.
