I don’t remember being sick this often when I was a kid, and my parents didn’t seem to get sick much either, though maybe memory plays a role. My parents have also said we weren't sick like this, nor were they sick like this as kids. I grew up in Miami, so I wonder if we were less affected by seasonal illnesses there.

Are flu and common colds actually worse now than when I was growing up, or does it just feel that way?

everyone is more sick now after covid, it wrecked our immune systems

but no one wants to talk about this

I don't think COVID is any worse on our immune systems than any other virus. However, it's another highly contagious virus, like the flu, that you can get multiple times a year.

It’s well documented that COVID does weaken the immune system, making us more vulnerable to other viruses. A simple google search will yield many links, but here is one;

So do all viruses. COVID is not unique in this respect.

I want to talk about this and I think there is a lot of science people/biologists/doctors on here to discuss.

I do too. If these discussions are getting banned, it’s probably because people are blaming the Covid vaccine for anything and everything that’s wrong with them, even where there are much more plausible reasons for their ailments.

I just saw one raw milk influencer blame a Covid shot she didn’t even get for her Guillain Barre Syndrome, even though GBS is most often caused by an infection with a bacteria found in raw milk. Her doctor “didn’t care” that she drank raw milk. Sure, Jan.

Others are blaming it for their type 2 diabetes (advanced age and decades of poor diet apparently had nothing to do with it), perimenopause symptoms, digestive problems, their kids inheriting the low intelligence or autism their parents clearly have - the works. One local uber-Catholic nut was prepared to let her baby die if she couldn’t find “pure” donor blood untainted by the Covid vaccine. I mean, the derangement is insane.
