Another interesting part of that article mentioned a review which did not find any statistical risk increase in immunocompromised patients for severe infections, which was a question I had earlier today. No, I literally don't know shit, but there's a lot of good information in that article.

Covid less risky to kids because kids are made to get sick. Their thymus spits out more naive t-cells, which get produced less and less as we age. Obese/old people/diabetics have a worse neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio. That's an indicator for low grade systemic infection and screws up the response to the infection.

Bullshit. Obese boomers and old people were going to die anyways. They can't faced their fate. Ever seen an old obese person?

Maybe watch the video first. The Dutch guy being interviewed is a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine who has specialist expertise in virology and vaccinology.

If he's wrong that's a good thing. If he's right, then things are going to be not so good.

1. "Important counterpoint to Dr. Bossche’s claim is that we can simply reformulate our vaccines to match new variants of concern. There is a reason why a new flu vaccine is made each year: the influenza virus drifts and shifts and the vaccine needs to be reformulated to be a better match for the specific viruses that are predicted to be common during the next flu season."

2. "But even if the COVID-19 vaccines still allowed some vaccinated people to transmit the virus to others, there is evidence that they could still efficiently contain the spread of the disease. Edward Nirenberg, a science blogger who addressed Dr. Bossche’s claims in great detail, points to Marek’s disease. It is caused by a herpesvirus and it gives chickens a number of health problems, including cancer. Thankfully, there is a vaccine against it, but over time, newer and more virulent strains of the virus have been detected, and this made scientists think it was because the vaccine was leaky, that it did not allow the chicken to mount a good enough immune response. Interestingly enough, the use of this seemingly leaky vaccine in chickens led to a reduction in the incidence of Marek’s disease by 99%. Potentially leaky vaccine but stellar disease reduction."

Why oh why is anti-vaccine now the new political right agenda.
Even Tom Tucker is pushing Anti-Vaxxer garbage. And Fox practically programs their viewers.

When did Republicans become the pro-death party?

How can you not be at 70+? You're dying because your risk factors for things that can kill you go up. Throw in a hip fracture or perforated bowels and that risk goes wayyyy up. I'm not really arguing against old people dying, more interested in why Covid affects them worse than younger people.
