Nobody else cares. Sadly, the situation today, it has now become an egocentric society for your own health. Blame your governments if you feel offended!😷 3/3

To put bluntly, everybody across all ages is or could become the vulnerable today, in one or another way, nobody knows their own tipping point😬
➡️Take care of yourself. 2/3

Hear a lot that with the new Omicron subvariants, the vulnerable are only of concern, well....than I have news for you!
You, yes, probably you too, have or will maybe become the vulnerable today after one or more covid-19 episodes. Your acquired post-infection/vaccine immunity isn't solid ...1/3

Thinking of that old story of a Dutch boy finding a hole in a weakend dike(our diverse waning immunity)and sticking his finger(XBB.1.5 booster) in it to stop the leaking in a 9Bft storm(variant swarm/BA.2.86). That didn't work out well.The dike collapsed,with immense flooding,just thinking out loud🤔

Does the risk of getting long Covid increase each time you get reinfected? "It's very clear in our data that reinfection contributes additional risk of long Covid," says epidemiologist Ziyad Al-Aly.
