Exactly why I NEVER had a Flu shot. Immune system is the key. We shut down the WORLD over a Cold!!!!!

To be fair, the Flu can be far worse than this virus for many people.

What fucking bullshit! 60-70% immune is also when herd immunity kids in and spread slows

But what researchers also found was that in around 40 to 60% of those who had never been exposed to COVID-19, their immune systems also had a strong reaction. The researchers said it's possible that human bodies may "recognize" the novel coronavirus because of prior exposure to its close cousins -- the coronavirus strains that cause the common cold.

"Immune reactivity may translate to different degrees of protection," said Dr. Alessandro Sette, professor at the La Jolla Institute for Immunology and a lead author on the study, in a press release.

This was always a scam. It’s true. This wasn’t the flu. This was the common cold.

Worse than the common cold for many people, but yes, about the same for many people as well.

This whole thing is horseshit, one of the greatest scams in history. All we needed to do was protect the elderly and people with obesity/diabetes.

I wonder if any effort was made to control for diet, exercise, etc.

That could be the biggest factor here.
