COVID-19 damages the endothelium of blood vessels in the body, which promotes the formation of blood clots. 50% of pulmonary embolisms due to COVID are not associated with deep vein thrombosis. Dr. George Chrysant Interventional Cardiologist in Oklahoma City #TheySurvivedCovid

Omicron is a deadly virus. Former UFC star 41 y.o. Chris "The Crippler" Leben from San Diego CA is recovering from COVID after being on life support. He declined to talk about his vaccination status. This was his second battle with COVID #TheySurvivedCovid 10news.com/news/local-new…
“I was ready to tap out, and the reason I didn’t tap is because of my child … If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have had the fight to get through those days,” said Leben.
There is a disinformation campaign that young people are not affected by COVID-19 and that #Omicron is mild. These are both incorrect. Vaccination against COVID-19 protects against severe disease.

Wann gibt es endlich die jetzt schon viel zu späte allgemeine Impfempfehlung für U12 von der #STIKO? Vermutlich erst, wenn jemand Mertens und die anderen Anthrosophen da rausgemobbt hat. Die Sicherheitsdaten liegen rum und werden offenbar vorsätzlich ignoriert.
Danke fĂĽr nichts.
Danke fĂĽr nichts.
Bei der STIKO steht immer noch, dass es keinen COVID-19 bedingten Todesfall in der Altersgruppe gegeben habe und der Einfluss der Impfung auf Ăśbertragungen gering sei.
Das ist so 2020.

🇧🇷 A year and half ago, before vaccines were available, 34 y.o. Dijane Silva from Taquarana Brazil developed a life-threatening condition following a COVID-19 infection that caused her to stop breathing when she fell asleep called Ondine Syndrome #TheySurvivedCovid 1/9
The name is derived from a mythical tale. The nymph Ondine was an immortal water spirit who became human after falling in love. In one of the versions of the tale, she caught her husband having an affair then cursed him to remain awake in order to control his own breathing. 2/9
Ondine Syndrome causes hypoxemia because the brain is unable to detect changes in carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the body during sleep, which determine the breathing rate. Normally, high levels of CO2 increase breathing, whereas low levels of CO2 decrease breathing. 3/9

Children infected with COVID-19 are at higher risk of developing diabetes.
This article published in June 2021 discussed two NIH-supported studies confirming SARS-CoV-2 can target and impair the body’s insulin-producing cells.
Type 1 diabetes occurs when beta cells in the pancreas don’t secrete enough insulin to allow the body to metabolize food optimally after a meal. As a result of this insulin insufficiency, blood glucose levels go up, the hallmark of diabetes.

Brandon Vaughn from Pine Knot, Kentucky is critically ill from COVID and on ECMO b/c his lungs are permanently damaged from the virus. Without a double-lung transplant he won't survive. He is 17. lex18.com/news/coronavir…
ECMO stands for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. The ECMO machine pumps and oxygenates a patient's blood outside the body, allowing the heart and lungs to rest. It's often a bridge to lung transplant.
As patients awaiting lung transplantation become sicker, ECMO enables them to remain active and participating in physical therapy to prepare for the rigors of surgery
