    Good question! I’d shed no tears for unemployed virologists. Uber Eats is hiring.

    There are no human pathogenic viruses, therefore nothing to vaccinate for and truckloads of meaningless forebodings and shiploads of meaningless data and useless correlations.

    So really you think viruses are fake?

    Look who’s in a fevered rush to assign all sorts of imputations to a guy who merely pointed out that there is a body of information drawing a correlation between childhood fever and better health outcomes later in life.

    Well, if that’s your way of saying they’re completely unproven, then yes.

    Ah ok. I was just replying to the "why are fevers a good thing" bit. My bad.

    Unproven? Scientists can see them under a microscope. That is not proof? There are all kinds of ways to prove they exist. Just because nobody has personally proved it to you doesn't make it unproven.

    Does Africa exist? If you haven't been there, how do you know?

    Really ? Can you show me a picture of one that cannot be characterized as an exosomes or an EV or cellular debris ? Would you like to do a deep dive on the limitations of el
    EMI proof or refutation ?

    You got options. You can read the analysis or just trot out a picture of a virus. Rest assured I would have been right with you a year or two ago.

    After you get a booster, you have refreshed your antibodies good enough for 10 weeks of protection against Omicron infection. That is it.

    How is it smart to get a vaccine that doesn’t hold efficacy against the current variant?? It’s not like the vaccines are 100% safe. It’s very rare but there are cases of serious reactions and even deaths.
    Now if I was a 55 year old male that’s overweight, I’d definitely take it.

    I happen to be a healthy 37 year old who has already beat alpha Covid and been around both delta and omicron. I didn’t get symptomatic reinfection in multiple situations.

    I think it's well past time to stop feeding the troll. It's just going to junk this thread up more than it already is. I won't reply to him again.

    Seems that poster has severe issues with scientific facts and evidence, but loves a good fantasy. Probably believes the election was stolen, and someday, somehow, some way the Pillow guy will prove it. "Merica
