I studied the coronaviruses way back in the sixties and seventies.
They haven't changed since then. There are only 7 known to infect
man.

 
Lol. "Studied". At least three new species have been identified in
the last
20 years or so. SARS-CoV-1, MERS and SARS-CoV-2 which cause
significant and
deadly disease in humans. That's an important change.

 
Chris,
 
My point was that the coronaviridea were and are well known to science,
well before the general public heard about them only recently.
 
Again, everything people know is wrong if they think they're new.
 
I forgot more about coronaviruses than you will ever know, so be
careful
when you ridicule scientific statements simply because you don't
like them.

 
Get over yourself. You think reading books is equivalent to obtaining a
degree. You wouldn't know a scientific statement if it smacked you
around
the chops.
 

What stands SARS-COV-2 apart (other than the multiple attachment
sites) is
the specificities of the resulting cytokine storm - which isn't well
known
why it hits certain people so hard. But what's a fact is
comorbidities are
over the 90% mark - so it usually isn't Covid alone that kills people.
 
At my age, perhaps being twice that of yours,

 
Nope.
 

the risks are high enough
that boosters are still recommended but they're not going to be
recommended
for people under about the age of 60 it seems, based on recent USA
data.
 
However, since immunity is not long lasting (the average is about 2
years
even when people get the disease versus the thing they call a vaccine),
we're all destined to get Covid about once every 2 years moving
forward.

 
Not me. At least not to the point where my viral load is detectable. I
tested almost daily during the pandemic and had a case twice in the
household. Never even a hint of being positive. Never had covid-19.

 
How would you even know? In most cases, COVID-19 was little more than
a flu.

Flu can be a serious disease. In the UK it kills about 10,000 every year.
In the winter of 2017/2018 it killed over 20k in part because the wrong
strains were chosen for that season's vaccine.

That's why kids and the elderly or infirm are offered the vaccine every
year.

 > _Some_ people got seriously hurt by it, but most had existing

health troubles. Most people got seriously injured by the "vaccine,"
not the virus.

 
LOL!  False, of course. And offtopic.

 
Not false,

Absolutely false. In the UK there were about 15 ppl who reportedly died
from the vaccine. Contrast that with 232k deaths from covid itself and an
estimated 450k lives saved by the vaccine.

not off-topic since you mentioned the "virus." I've had
several friends and family members injured by the "vaccine"

Incredibly unlikely.

you Windows
cretins were all too happy to promote. A good friend ended up with
ovarian cancer, as did the wife of the guy I went to university with, as
did my sister-in-law. Coincidence, or did it have anything to do with
the fact that they all took a double dose or more of the "vaccine" that
has since been proven to be extremely damaging?

I mean, huge proportions of the population took two or more doses of the
vaccine. I know no-one who has had an ovarian cancer diagnosis. Is my
experience more or less valuable than yours? If only we had a way to know
for sure...?

"Proven damaging" where? Rumour and gossip in your niche of the
conspiraverse doesn't equal "proof".

In contrast, the vaccine has been shown to be very safe many times over in
studies from all over the world.

Either you are ignorant
and immune to data,

You're quoting an anecdote. Not data. Come back when you have data.

or you are being paid by the pharmaceutical
companies to be willfully ignorant and encourage people to hurt
themselves.

lol. Cheap and predictable accusation by the truly ignorant.

Either way, Hell will be too good a place for you. I pray
that everyone will be quick to dismiss every one of your statements as
complete garbage and be quick to filter your opinions for the utter
stupidity that they are.

Editor's note: praying doesn't work.
