In an interview with Rheinische Post, German Health Minister Karl Lauterbach said, “It is worrying what we are seeing in people who have had multiple corona infections. Studies now show very clearly that those affected are often dealing with an immune deficiency that can no longer be cured. This can be a risk factor for the development of chronic diseases, from cardiovascular problems to dementia.”
This immunity damage isn’t only happening to adults. Children are being affected as well. Professor Christian Drosten said, “Children have naive immune cells. With each corona infection infection those cells cannot be reproduced indefinitely. Immunologists are getting findings that suggest that this aging of the immune system in children after a COVID infection is much more advanced that expected.”
Researchers are still learning how COVID hijacks our immune system.
To put it bluntly, one can now ask whether an unvaccinated child, after being infected, will perhaps have the immune system of an 80 year old at the age of 30. Infecting children would have been a huge mistake. That would be an extreme scenario, but one that needs to be considered.
Flu RSV and Strep A have been causing havoc among children in the last several months. It is possible that children are having worst cases of these infections because their immune system has “aged” due to COVID. So, no, it want’s a good idea to get your child infected before they could walk. They will have to live with your mistake for the rest of their lives. Politicians may eventually have to acknowledge that they were wrong to let COVID rip through society, but they will find a scapegoat so they can blame someone other than themselves.
