Some observations:

There are many millions of "flag waving Patriots" who claim to have studied "the history books". Question is - WHO wrote the history book??

The concept of "the Founding Fathers" is a majestic and honorable concept. Except they intentionally left out a few "inconvenient freedoms" when writing the original documents. The early history books tried to excuse the phrasing as having a different intended meaning. Bill Clinton tried that one too: "It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is." Case in point: Those who don't hold their elected officials (REGARDLESS of political stripe/affiliation) to task are ultimately the biggest fools.

What does "fully recovered from Covid" really mean? How can someone be "fully recovered" when several proven published medical studies show severe organ damage in some individuals in ALL age groups - from young children to the elderly?

From the Mayo Clinic:

Heart: Imaging tests taken months after "recovery" from COVID-19 have shown lasting damage to the heart muscle, even in people who experienced only mild COVID-19 symptoms. This may increase the risk of heart failure or other heart complications in the future.

Lungs: The type of pneumonia often associated with COVID-19 can cause long-standing damage to the tiny air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs. The resulting scar tissue can lead to long-term breathing problems.

Brain: Even in young people, COVID-19 can cause strokes, seizures and Guillain-Barre syndrome — a condition that causes temporary paralysis. COVID-19 may also increase the risk of developing Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. People claim to be "fully recovered", but are they really? What about in 25-30 years when that "healthy" 30 year old is now 60? Organ damage sustained at a young age can rear it's ugly head later in life... ask my father who died at 68 years old from congestive heart failure - damage done to his heart from "mini" heart attacks unnoticed when he was much younger.

We REALLY don't know what societal health damage the Covid variants will ultimately unleash - anyone who thinks they know is only guessing. We don't even have an accurate count of cases - so calculating widespread health effects are nothing more than extrapolating numbers of KNOWN cases - in other words - GUESSING!

So... just because you've "recovered" from immediate symptoms - don't be convinced you're out of the woods. The effects of your "mild symptoms" may have done more to your body than you think.
