Data show a significant uptick in lymphatic tuberculosis in 10-18 year olds in the last 4 years, with 2025 being by far the worst. This is usually a disease associated with AIDS, but there’s been no associated uptick in HIV.

Imagine someone saying trying to explain Star Wars by saying that Luke Skywalker is like an alien version of Goku. If you have any knowledge at all of the characters or the stories your mind starts compiling a rapidly growing list of why that’s complete nonsense. If you have extremely limited background on the characters though, and what supplemental information you are given is a fundamental mischaracterization of the stories, you would be easily convinced. They’re both dudes in fantasy stories, they both fight, they both have some kind of telekinesis, but the difference is one is from Earth while the other is from a galaxy far far away.
It’s almost impossible to point out all the ways that that is wrong. And then when you’re trying someone says “I don’t know, I saw a video where they talked about Luke Skywalker fighting so I think you’re just being pedantic.” If actual truth matters in any way, you would reject this comparison completely. If it’s popular and you don’t know better or don’t give a shit you’ll latch on to it and maybe even add to it. I know better and I give a shit and I’m saying flatly that it’s wrong.
Can you provide a more succinct way of explaining that COVID uses the same catastrophic immune evasion and persistence mechanisms and poses a severe risk in the long-term?
