I wish people understood that this is only true of *certain* diseases, not all.

Measles actually can erase previous immunities to other diseases & essentially sets your immune system back to infancy.

Covid makes you more susceptible to future illnesses.

It’s not a muscle.

When medicine talks of building your immune system, it’s talking about microbes and certain prevalent bacteria.

Exposing yourself to VIRUSES offers no benefits to you, and can often cause greater HARM to your immune system long term.

But we’ve learned something even worse: We’ve begun to learn a lot of autoimmune diseases and cancers are actually post viral illnesses that don’t show up until later.

We linked MS to Epstein Barr Virus.

We linked cervical cancer to Human Papilloma Virus.

And Covid? Phew… it’s a whole LIST. In terms of diseases that can show up LATER after the infection has passed (sometimes LONG passed,) Covid’s been shown to trigger long covid, diabetes, immune deficiencies, elevated risk of heart attack, DVTs & pulmonary embolism, and even cancer.

Covid might be to blame for an uptick in rare cancers The virus may be making us more susceptible to certain cancers https://theweek.com/health/covid-19-rare-cancers

Back when I was young, the pervasive belief was that getting chicken pox when you were young reduced your risk of shingles as an adult - hence parents deliberately exposing their young kids to others who were sick with it.

Turns out the exact OPPOSITE is true. We know that now.

So the TL/DR here:

THE idea that exposing yourself to Covid, the flu, & other respiratory viruses is building up the strength of your immune system is based on a faulty misunderstanding that viruses work just like microbes & prevalent bacteria.

Viruses HARM your immune system. Just look around at how much ppl are talking about how they/their kids are “getting sick all the time these days” and they are at their wits end with it.

If regular exposure to viruses like Covid strengthens your immune system, ppl should be getting sick less & less often. Except they’re not.

Because Covid causes immune DAMAGE & makes you MORE susceptible to getting sick. I’m sorry so many of you were sold a lie. You should be *livid* at the ppl who deceived you just to boost their profit from getting you back to work, to restaurants, to travel, etc.

Exposing yourselves/your kids to viruses didn’t and won’t make your immune system stronger. The literally tricked you into sacrificing the future health of yourselves & your children, by lying & saying this was how to best PROTECT yourselves, purely to line their own pockets.

If ppl actually understood this they would be in the damn streets demanding heads roll for it
