Over the past three years similar reports have circulated of rising bacterial infections, flare-ups of old viruses becoming more common, and children landing in hospital with diseases not usually seen in young, healthy people. One explanation offered by public health leaders has been “immunity debt”2—the idea that precautions taken in the covid pandemic suppressed routine exposures to circulating pathogens, leaving people more vulnerable to them when restrictions were lifted.
The theory landed in the public consciousness at the right moment. A simple idea that sounded like science, it soothed a public seeking answers just as the world was returning to a semblance of normality. And it served a policy function, allowing governments to focus on economic recovery.
Absolutely no mention whether the participants have had the covid jab or were jab free.
How do we know whether or not the the covid virus was the cause and not the covid jab.
The study needs to be more exacting, as science should be.
The study should include and compare outcomes of:
those injected
Those injected who caught covid
those uninjected
those uninjected who caught covid
How can we say that the covid virus is responsible for all those disgnoses, when there are a cohort of people who are left out of, and not included in the study.
I am still not convinced
