    Especially virusses and bacteria: Your immune system gets a bit stronger but organs probably have small irreversable damages because there is scartissue where the infection was the worst.

      I can only imagine how much people with severe, long-term diseases hate that phrase.

      I feel like it’s just missing a very big caveat:
      What doesn’t kill you, and lets you reemerge in a healthy state once it passes, makes you stronger.

      That I can more or less agree with. Whatever happened that prompted people to say this will probably still leave a mark though.
