One of my biggest frustrations with "kids these days" sentiments is that you've had generations of kids neglected by dual working/single parents and the languishing amounts to "why didn't the kids just raise themselves?".

But they have to double down on those sentiments because the alternative is to acknowledge being part of an immense collective failure and horror.

I know some people who pushed their spouse to take the covid vaccine and, their spouse immediately died.

But, they still push the vaccine, and will not in anyway recognize that they have caused.

People cannot carry the weight of being wrong.

@hazlin @gabriel why can't people understand that the cytokine response from the vaccine would likely have produced the same response from the real virus and these people would have been harmed the same way from their own immune system anyway? In fact, the data says it would have been worse for them because the real infection comes with inflammation and other issues beyond just the cytokine response.

So the vaccine didn't trigger some magical behavior that the virus cannot. We know what it did, and we know the virus does to people with these immune systems too. The odds are that the vaccine have been less severe for these people.

It sucks. Their immunological response went crazy and we didn't have a way to deal with it. This is something we need to figure out for any novel virus like this -- some way to get the desired immunity while tempering the cytokine response. I don't think we have the tools to do so.

These people were likely doomed unless they could somehow completely avoid ever being exposed to the virus.
