> (vascular?)

Not an expert, but from what I understood, SARS-Cov-2 infects cells through the ACE2 receptor that is present in all kinds of different cells along the blood vessels. It's "just" particularly present in the cells inside the lungs, which is why so many Covid patient could not take up enough oxygen anymore. But that somewhat nebulous "long tail" of other Covid symptoms is caused by the virus infecting other cells inside the body.

So I guess that technically makes it a vascular and not a respiratory disease.

It's Covid. As someone who only recently recovered from Long Covid after a long, arduous 2-year fight, I see his point.

How did you do that?

COVID is still out there and people still get sick with it and it's still having weird systemic effects in spite of our best efforts to ignore it.

I think COVID is now considered endemic globally, it's more manageable than it was when it first broke out but it still causes deaths and weird after effects, probably not as many as before but will probably stay with us for some time to come.

Shouldn't we keep up the vaccination campaigns then ?

Yes.

We do here, in Norway. At least for those especially at risk. Do they not do that where you are?

For elderly people we do, right?

Everyone should be getting vaccinated.

In my country they don't recommend additional vaccinations if you already have been vaccinated or been infected (unless risk factor or age).

Which is what is currently being done in many parts of the world.

Where in the world do they give the flu vaccine to everyone?

The general public can walk into a grocery store pharmacy in the US, pay nothing (insurance covers it), and get a flu vaccine. So, USA.

Yes

Got mine recently.

It’s been well established in 2020 already with Covid toes.

Vascular, perhaps he means heart disease. It is the highest killer.

That's not ignored, covid is.
