Measles looks like this. My mother’s left hand, wasted by a bout of measles in the early 1940’s.

Mom lost use of her left hand and wrist. Grandma taught her how to knit and play the piano, thru which Mom regained most use of her wrist as well as her pinkie, ring, & middle fingers.

Boy, this blew his mind.
Convo is BEFORE the COVID vaccine. So he's postulating that the elderly and medical professionals are more likely to have had the flu vaccine, and AHA!, that is why they are getting COVID more.

But then he includes children - the hypothesis and its opposite in one breath!

He may not believe in germ theory, but he does believe in bioweapons research on coronaviruses?

It only infects you if it was human engineered, otherwise a nice healthy immune system is all you need against viruses?
