I don’t mention them because while the number seems large the percentage is small
And as I’ve rambled before the cure can’t be allowed to be worse than the disease
And it is and has been worse

I’ve also rambled that in a free society in a huge and diverse world you won’t get to that Nirvana of 90 percent vaccination , at least not fast enough to matter from a standing start , maybe never

so that fact is something I’ve reconciled myself to live with

Absolutely, and eventually, evolutionary pressure is to become less deadly. Doesn't do a virus much good if it kills all of it's intended hosts, but since mutation is random, you'll be going through the full range of more deadly, less deadly and no change in virulence variants over time...

Either way, vaccination to the point of true herd immunity, and we're talking into the 90% range as I've often ranted about, snuffs it out without waiting for the time it takes for it to become less virulent. This avoids millions of needless deaths on a world-wide basis, something you don't mention in your personal ramblings...

Isn’t this version less virulent at least to date
Isn’t it possible that time is now

I’m not saying that it is
Simply that it’s possible

Possible yes.

Probable that it's the last variant and the signal of the end? As probable as you'll be summoned to Oslo next fall to for a Nobel Prize in Medicine for your eloquent treatises on personal experience...

Got my Moderna booster yesterday afternoon, and just like the previous two no ill effects at all.

where did I say last
You do it all the time you embellish to suit your wants
There may be hundreds more over time
Some hopefully all less deadly

Some maybe more

But right here right now this one appears to have mutated to the lesser

Got 1st booster yesterday at 5pm, had to call in sick today. Extremely painful arm, headache and tiredness- can't keep my eyes open.
Starting to get some chills now, good thing I'm maxed out with 45 sick days to take.

Seems like there are lots of nasty colds going around. I'm just getting over mine now. Zinc seems to cut it short. It started Friday and it's just about gone tonight.

Mine always take ten days and settle in my lungs, sometimes going into bronchitis which almost ruined our river cruise in 2019

Mine used to take a week to 10 days. Then I started taking zinc tablets every night with all my other meds and found that colds now last only 3 or 4 days.

I'm taking Puritan's Pride Zinc 50mg, once a day. I'm sure brand doesn't matter so you can probably get them at CVS, RiteAid or wherever.
