In addition, ask any young person involved in sports how catching COVID has affected their training and performance. For mostly sedentary people it might feel like catching a bad cold and then recovering. If you're actually consistently pushing your lungs to their max there's definitely long-lasting (maybe not long-term) damage there.

Covid hasnt infected the lower respiratory tract since what Delta? come on keep up with the strains.

Where is the long-term research that being vaccinated X number of times reduces the long-term damage of getting Covid X number of times you guys are just guessing I mean go for it but please no more fucking vaccine passports you fascist fucks

Investigate everything, make it available to the public, let people decide for themselves what to put in their body.
