The whole point of the original comment was that 1. someone with the vaccine and someone without both had an identical reaction to the virus and 2. just because everyone on the pro-vaccine side makes claims that this vaccine is safe, there are no long-term studies on it. So my point about my immune system was that yes I was willing to roll the dice and deal with the virus when/if it came to me. And I did. I will get downvoted for this on this particular site, because it is way more skewed to people that feel that the vaccine is a safe and effective measure. But, I didn't roll a 6 sided die while my friend rolled a 20 sided die.

There are no long term studies on COVID. But what informatrion we do have suggests it can cause prolonged damage.

Including erectile dysfunction.

Damn near (i.e. I no of no exceptions but I'm hedging my bets against the nit-pickers) every respiratory disease comes with a litany of possible long term effects that tend to mostly affect the people with the worst cases. Covid doesn't yet seem to be particularly special thus far in terms of likelihood or severity of long term effects.

If you can't breath stuff in your body breaks. Water is wet. More news at 11.

Reads to me like dismissing a burning building because it's just a typical fire.

COVID doesn't need to be worse than other respiratory diseases to be a problem if the baseline level of long term damage is bad.

Don't threaten me with a good time.
