I lost the hearing in my left ear twenty years ago (with loud tinnitus). Doctors say it was probably a virus.
If one person gets gets it twice, it makes headlines “Not necessarily immune after Covid-19”.
If a small handful out of millions of infections gets permanent lung damage “Covid leads to permanent lung damage”.
If one 18 year old morbidly obese woman with numerous co-morbidities dies “Young people die from Covid”.
And now after ONE case where a man loses hearing in one ear “Covid can lead to permanent hearing loss”.
Fine. Now, where are the headlines from individual outliers who catch a disease that a vaccine was supposed to stop after vaccination. Or someone who suffers permanently from same? Or the natural consequences of unnatural sexual acts despite using a condom? Or even “Everyone in room wears masks, Covid spreads anyway”?
Most prescriptions with millions of takers have a LONG list of possible (that means observed in SOMEbody) side effects, from “birth control” pills to statins to anti-depressants to ibuprofen. You never read of those in headlines, they are buried in 4 point Helvetica type in a drug insert or at the bottom of a print ad, or spoken in passing very quickly during a television ad.
I had a coworker who caught a cold, and it spread to his ear, and 3 days later, he was deaf. It happens. It’s sad.
Every body dies from the covid so why does this matter? /sarcasm
I lost it from a few million gunshots and had a lot more fun.
