I guess it's like a game of Russian roulette, but with a 100-chamber gun (or more, a lot more?) and 1 bullet. Every time you go into a crowded room and survive without a sniffle, you think, "well, that went well, why all this concern about getting sick/dying from this virus?".

And the number of chambers depends on your personal risk from exposure to the virus, obviously. For some it's deadly, for others it's a weekend in bed..

Roughly a 221266 chamber gun fired once a week.

100 chamber gun would be killing over three million a week.

Hygiene Hypothesis. You need a low dose frequently enough to keep yourself ready. I haven't had it ever and I've lived entirely with minimum legal restrictions since the beginning.

I haven't had it ever

How do you know this for certain?

Well, I haven't had the disease. I suspect I've encountered the virus because I've quarantined and taken care of people who were sick with the disease. But I tested every two weeks for two years and never tested positive.

Overall, you can never be certain of anything. There's just whether the evidence points one way. I believed this approach and took it. And it paid off. Like most things in my life.

The article doesn't give any indication as whether they simply tested positive for Covid, or whether Covid was the primary cause of death.

It tells nothing about the age profile of the victims, or the vaccination rates among them which is a huge red flag.

It seem nothing more than an exhortation to Paxlovid and the vax.

Is Paxlovid still free.
