Au contraire. You did prove who a bullshitting poo poo head was, and that would be you.

"I’m going to spend an extra minute reiterating that immunity debt to S pneumonia was formally disproved in this study.

“This decrease was initially believed to be associated with the ability of nonpharmaceutical interventions to reduce transmission of S pneumoniae,
among other pathogens."

"But when RSV and influenza came back, so did invasive pneumococcal disease. So S. pneumoniae piggybacks on RSV/influenza to infect children.

So the cascading effect here is that covid increases susceptibility to RSV which increases susceptibility to this invasive infection."

"Now let’s talk about cascading effects. This is a really interesting study that highlights the role of RSV as a cofactor in invasive pneumococcal disease.
There is no pneumococcal immunity debt because people carry it around asymptomatically so it’s always around. And here they showed that while invasive disease dropped during the lockdowns, pneumococcal carriage rates were not significantly reduced."

"the large buildup of COVID19-infected children and the potential long-term adverse effects of COVID-19 on the immune and respiratory systems may have contributed to the 2022 winter surge of severe RSV diseases that was not seen in 2021.

2021: immunity debt
2022: immunity theft"

"This study shows that the terrible 2022 RSV epidemic was not as simple as a 'catch up' year. RSV was already back in 2021. The 2022 surge was driven by *more severe cases*. What happened between 2021 and 2022? Mass infection of children with omicron. And subsequent immune damage."

"It’s not the lockdowns, it’s the covid. Covid damages immune systems. Catching covid makes people more susceptible to catching other infections. Immunity theft, not immunity debt. A thread of evidence:

This study found that the risk of RSV infection needing medical attention was 40% higher in kids that had covid vs those that didn’t. Both in 2021 and 2022. Yes they checked twice."

Seeing this come up again: "Immunity debt" is a myth.

*Getting Covid* damages the immune system (similar to measles virus and HIV virus.)

The more times you have Covid, the more damaged your immune system. We don't know yet how much it can be healed.

The problem with that thesis is that action requires planning. Aim first and then shoot. Shooting from the hip in a split second means you hit no target.

One of the eye-openers of 2023 was that my fall from professional class to working class was probably going to be permanent. Just as I thought my life in NYC would be on ever-constant upward trajectory, I thought that once I had worked/wormed my way into the professional class, I would be there forever.
Now I am coming to understand that I was lucky to have had any success ever, and this, the inverse, is a much more common state, and the baseline I am going to have to re-work my way up from… even at this old age.
