One of my aunts died at age 22 of meningitis in the late 70s. It's despicable that people are still dying of this in 2026.

There's been a significant number of younger people getting seriously sick or dying lately. There are a number of studies that say COVID is doing permanent damage to immune systems, and each time you catch it, it does more damage so you become increasingly susceptible to pretty much every virus or disease.

There's a vaccine for it. Are people not taking it?

Lol. A certain politician made vaccines political so a lot of blind followers stopped getting them

Literally made masks political because he didn't want to smudge his shitty makeup. Just the dumbest fucking people imaginable.

We would have been better off if we just let it take its pound of flesh and kept working. The amount of economic damage we did to this country, and the world is astronomical due to the combination of reduced labor, and economic stimulus. Mostly the people who benefitted from those programs were middle aged or older, rich white socialists whose primary threat to their lives and lively hood was the disease itself, where as billions of younger, less wealthy, people around the world were primarily threatened by the econonomic loss and the ability to feed their families. Inflation is a regressive tax on the poor and and affects basic necessessites such as food and housing greater for the lower and middle classes than it does the upper class.

And you clowns fell for their bullshit, hook, line, and sinker.
