this is a big part of it, yeah. COVID infection has a chance to cause long-term brain damage, every repeat infection raises those chances, and cyclical reinfection almost guarantees brain damage. and of course, it’s the kind of brain damage which impairs both cognitive ability and reaction time (making drivers objectively worse) and reduces empathy (which makes drivers (bigger) assholes).
my older brother owned a pair of these so obviously they were the shit.
but realistically if I got a pair now I would simply give myself broken bones and brain damage.
