      Everyone who survives will be immune.

      That’s the whole logic. It was awful enough with Covid’s 1% mortality. Measles only kills about 0.1%. Bird flu kills 90-100% of infected birds and 50% of infected humans. And there’s plenty of lasting/permanent deficits short of literal death. They’re psychopaths.
