New data from Qatar, where 40% of people have antibodies from prior infection. This data shows that, regardless of age, your odds of dying from it once you’ve survived having it once are vanishingly low.
If this was about safety, we would open life back up the way it is supposed to be right now based on this data.
Vaccines would be optional for those who decide it is an appropriate intervention. The equation is different for someone who is 80 years old with lots of comorbidities. It’s OK to get the vaccine or not get the vaccine. But at this point, we have an endemic virus. Our immune systems are working the way they are supposed to.
Any science-based counterpoints? Maybe I’m wrong.
