I suffered organ damage & long-term health issues from Covid.
People be like:
IT’S VACCINES!
👉 I got Covid in March 2020.
Pre-vaccines.
👉 YOU WERE OLD OR SICK!
I was 39, fit & healthy.
(Not that it should matter.)
👉 IT’S RARE!
Over 100 million worldwide.
That we know about.
So far.

Even for kids who fully recover, measles is a miserable experience.
And a substantial number will have complications.
