    My hypothesis is that when Covid started, the experts weren’t really sure of the long term effects, and they were preparing for the worst.

    It’s bad enough as it is that I’m happy to wear a mask when appropriate.

      More like as more people got sick, the worse side effects they found. At first, they didn’t think there were any real long-term side effects. Then people started having the heart and lung issues, brain fog, hell, they even found permanent COVID damage in guys’ testicles, causing infertility.

      Even now, we don’t know the effects it’ll have had when we look back 10 years after the fact and make the connections between increases in conditions and COVID.
