You can have your opinion it's a silly point, no it isn't. The point was the human race has survived for many years, wasn't saying anything about life expectancy, that wasn't the point. Life expectancy hasn't just increased due to vaccinations but many things such as better sanitation, clean water etc.When you think of the thousands of years of human evolution, it is only since the mid 1800s that any of us have had life expectancies beyond 40 years of age.
So if you want to go let it rip because the human species has adapted and generated its own immunity to other viruses before, then fine, but I am not sure how many of the over 40s on this forum would be happy with that. Equally as someone who is soon to cross the 'close to 30' / 'close to 40' boundary, i don't know how happy I feel about being classed as the village elder yet.
*please note. This post is to be taken with a truckload of salt. I know there are plenty of people on here will shoot back that I am scaremongering by saying everyone over 40 is at risk. I am not, I am taking a very silly point made by someone else and running with it.
Please don't be so rude in future.
