“Immunity debt” is something invented by media and politicians to explain why kids getting their immune systems battered by COVID for years isn’t the problem.

The idea kids spent years in a disease free bubble with undeveloped immune systems doesn’t jibe with the reality we were all here to see. Hell, plenty of kids had their parents drag them to restaurants by mid-2020.

The immunity debt narrative is a strategy to retroactively blame the current situation on doing anything to limit the impact of COVID, or protect people in general.

It’s super MAGA thinking designed to make people feel like they were right to not want to make an effort in the first place.

It’s pseudoscience to excuse selfishness.

So your solution was to not mask and distance and have a couple hundred thousand more deaths to potentially save approximately 5,000 lives in the future- assuming of course that this years flu would not have resulted in any deaths had we not masked?

I imagine that the Venn diagram of military hazmat and pandemic response is two circles.
