It just makes me wonder. What's worse for you, to catch Covid once every six months, every year, or every two years?

If the answer is " not get it at all", then yes, you're right.

No science, no plan, no understanding of how it's going to work, just hope.

New research looks at the effects of repeated Covid infections and finds pretty much what you would expect: you not only do not get any kind of superimmunity, you increase your risk of long-term consequences, hospitalization and death. The worse news is that this holds true regardless of vaccination status.

This is not over. Please take care. Mask up.
