My concern is for the other symptoms of covid that could compound. Taking your vaccinations and boosters will generally keep you out of the hospital, but what of the other consequences? Cardiomyopathy, damage to smell and taste, and cognitive impairment could all be cumulative. What happens if they are and we're subjected to decades of repeated damage?
It appears that COVID is a blood disease, as opposed to a pulmonary disease.
I know a 19-year-old girl that had a stroke, as a result of COVID.
I was talking to an acquaintance that is a mortician, a few months ago, and he said they could always tell the people that died of COVID, because their blood had a different consistency.
Well that's interesting because I was also talking to an acquaintance that is a mortician, a few months ago, and he said that anecdotes like this contain absolutely no valuable data at all and only help to sow misinformation.

That was why I framed it as a personal anecdote. It really happened (unlike yours). It is not supposed to be a valid data point. No double-blind scientific analysis. Just a short personal story.
If I don't have anything other than anectdata, I am careful to frame it as personal experience and PoV.
I thought we didn't do stuff like this (sarcastic personal attacks) on HN, but I am often wrong.
