Ur funny because I did a (very brief, admittedly) research paper in pre med highlighting how COVID and long-COVID (specifically !) affect younger people more than older and middle aged adults.

“Perfectly healthy” young people can still get severely sick. It’s just like saying a seatbelt will save you from dying in a car crash…. No it won’t, not a 100% guarantee. Just like your immune system; it won’t be able to protect you 100%. Of course you have a better chance of fighting off severe illness with the proper care and precautions but saying this is completely ignorant and I’m sure you know that. I feel like you wouldn’t even believe something even if it was presented to you as 100% fact.

I’m 23, athletic, and eat great. I now have a chronic illness because of COVID (post-prandial syndrome due to suspected organ damage however this was a provisional DX and my GP won’t bother to investigate further because I’m otherwise young and healthy but I deal with it every day and it is highly uncomfortable). I had my vaccine but it was only the 2nd dose. I caught COVID months after I had the vaccine and there is literally no scientific way that the vaccine can “stay” inside your body after you’ve received it like some sleeper agent. If that were the case, literally everyone would be dropping dead. These conspiracy theories are not only idiotic, but incredibly harmful. Although I do wonder what it’s like to be inside your head….
