I feel so much better now knowing you're going to save mankind.

For a reference point, the Spanish Flu took ~2 years to run its course. No vaccine, just natural herd immunity. It will probably be the same with Covid.

heard immunity by getting the disease…the strongest survived…i bet the 50 million that died would have loved a vaccine. 😏

I've had it. Most of my family members have had it. I'd venture to guess I know at least 30 people who have had Covid. Zero deaths, zero hospitalizations.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret. I'm going to die, you're going to die, and everyone you know is going to die. Let's stop treating death like it can be avoided. If Covid doesn't get you, something else will.
... or are you one of those people who believe in vampires, zombies and werewolves?

Maybe the silliest thing I’ve read today. Be sure and brief your passengers that you didn’t get vaccinated because we’re all going to die anyway. That’ll really impress them...

He already had rona. He doesn’t need to get vaccinated.

I believe the jury is still out on that one....

What a perfect example of someone with an above average IQ, saying some thing that even a fifth grader would know to be stupid.

kind of the embodiment of the fact that our discourse is now simply saying anything that will get under the other side’s skin. And certainly not worrying about what is true, factually evident, practical, moral or taken to its logical conclusion would have a shred of usefulness in the real world.

Wrong. Actually the strongest died during the Spanish Flu, which actually originated in western Kansas of all places. It got the name Spanish Flu because they were neutral during the WWI and actually reported their cases in the beginning of the pandemic. There was no war-time propaganda and media control in Spain like in the US and in other WWI countries. Look up the war-bond parade in Philadelphia and how they knew the flu was a threat but still hosted the city's largest parade and within 36 hours every hospital in the city was beyond capactiy. The pandemic started here, aided by troop movements, and Spain got the blame.

The lethality of the flu was greatest in the 20 and 30 year olds. Something which puzzled researchers until they discovered that the virus which often went to the lungs generated a powerful immune system attack. So powerful, that those with the strongest immune systems were killed by it's own response. The battle was waged in the lungs and it was sometimes a very quick death. A healthy non-symptomatic person could be dead in 12 hours.

Yes it was eventually herd immunity but no it was not Darwinian in that the strong survived.
