We’re all going to DIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

Implying that everyone who gets COVID is looking at that for their future is disingenuous.

How about this novel idea?

Treat patients as soon as diagnosed with prophylactics to prevent any kind of organ damage or death in the first place.

Why ban that kind of medical treatment and focus ONLY on the vaccine as the answer?

where did I imply that ‘everyone who gets Covid’ will suffer long term effects? But they can’t be ignored -they must be factored into an informed decision on whether to roll the dice or get vaccinated. How can an informed decision be made without doing so?

It’s really dishonest to claim 99% recovery or 99$ survival, tho. I wonder how many times in a week an acute care nurse has heard, I thought I was supposed to recover? It’s equally dishonest to point a finger at side-effects of the vaccine while ignoring side-effects of the virus itself.

Sure, treat the infected with therapies, of course, but 1) therapies took time - we didn’t have any for the first wave, and hail-mary’ed the second wave; and 2) therapies don’t always work because everyone’s genetics are unique and everyone’s reaction to this or that drug is unique. My ‘good’ level may be your toxic. Something effective on you, may not affect my response at all. There’s genetic markers that may make certain people more or less succeptible.

Proof of the above is in the stats: 3K deaths/day 7 day rolling average in mid-Jan, falling to about 0.5K now (639 yesterday) with a good portion of high-risk non-ambulatory now vaccinated. P1 from Brazil is circulating, tho, and may pose a new challenge for treatment protocols. OTOH, a few more months and scientists may find a magic bullet that makes both vaccination and current treatments obsolete. Let’s hope. In the meantime the vaccine is buying them and us time and it’s keeping our medical providers alive.

and nobody is ‘banning’ medical treatment. Whereever did you get that from?
