I just received a notification a couple of days ago offering me another booster jab for the autumn and I was seriously debating not bothering going because it sort of seems like we’re out of the woods re: COVID at this point, but then I stumbled across the following thread on Twitter and let me tell you: we’re not out of the woods yet.

The thread is from some woman I’ve never heard of and begins with her telling a story about her friend who has contracted Coronavirus for the fifth time and has now lost 30lbs and is currently in a wheelchair. OK, I was thinking that could quite easily just be a fake (for reasons I can’t comprehend) because there’s no evidence, but then she dropped a bunch of videos of people in similar situations and I started to get a bit more scared.
Take a look at them all below:
This isn’t someone who was careless by the way. Fully vaxxed, always wore masks…but he has 3 kids from junior high to college, no mask mandate, they all had Covid multiple times. You can’t drop your kids at a hotel to quarantine. This is all very unfair.

It’s not just young people but it’s definitely all over colleges and schools. These kids make fun of it because what else are they going to do? We have no plan for them. And farm workers or meat factory workers don’t tiktok or tweet, but I’m certain they have as many reinfections

Geez that just does not look good at all does it? Not good whatsoever.
In fairness here all these people seem to be based in the United States so maybe it’s not going to be such a problem over here in the UK, but I think we all sort of thought the same thing last year then Omicron turned up and ruined a lot of people’s Christmases – including my own. I’m not trying to fearmonger here or anything, but maybe it is a good idea to get that booster when it’s offered to you? I think I’ll be getting mine now.
For more of the same, remember when people had COVID-19 parties to deliberately catch Coronavirus? What a weird time the last couple of years have been.
