Since the @CDCgov won’t track breakthrough cases and if they lead to #LongCovid @Survivor_Corps decided to step in…

We ran a poll of 1735 fully vaccinated adults

A thread with our results…
Key Findings:

Both Pfizer and Moderna had significant fewer breakthrough symptomatic cases

Far fewer J&J recipients who had breakthrough symptomatic cases ended up with Long Covid
2/
38% of breakthrough symptomatic cases led to Long Covid
3/
While the % of fully vaxxed w/ breakthrough cases was to be expected (2.77%) the sheer number of people who have been vaxxed demand the @CDCgov recommend that all vaxxed ppl continue to mask, test & require reporting of ALL breakthroughs, not just those that end in hospitaliz
4/
Let’s not repeat the clear mistake of not finding what we refuse to look for
5/
912 received Pfizer (53%)

697 received Moderna (40%)

127 received J&J (7%)

6/
Total Number of Breakthrough Symptomatic Cases: 48/1735 (2.77)

Pfizer: 17/912 (1.86%)
Moderna: 20/697 (2.87%)
J&J: 13/115 (11.3%)
7/
Total Number of Breakthrough Symptomatic Cases that led to #LongCovid: 18/1735 (1.04%)

Pfizer: 11/17 (65%)
Moderna: 7/18 (39%)
J&J: 13/127 (10%)
8/
Total Number of Breakthrough Symptomatic cases that led to Hospitalization 3/1735

Pfizer: 0/912 (0%)
Moderna: 1/697 (0.14%)
J&J: 2/127 (1.57%)
9/
Total Number of Breakthrough Symptomatic cases that led to Hospitalization AND Long Covid (1/3) (33%)

Pfizer: 0
Moderna: 0
J&J: 1
10/
The CDC ONLY counts hospitalized cases so… here's where our data starts to differ quite a bit..

CDC Data: 3/1735 breakthrough symptomatic infections (.17%)

Survivor Corps Data: 48/1735 breakthrough symptomatic infections (2.77%)
11/
This breakthrough rate what we would expect from vax data but we should still be tracking these excess cases regardless;

AND this data is likely low as CDC direction remains to no longer test after vax)
12/
With acknowledgement that this was not a poll of random people so is not meant for all elements of the data to be able to be extrapolated to the public at large)

In case you were wondering about COVID reactivating latent viruses....

I got bloodwork done yesterday after having Covid earlier this month (and developing cold / canker sores in my mouth).

I had never had them before. Image
"HHV (Herpes) reactivation was considered a positive polymerase chain reaction result taken at the time of COVID-19 infection."

Maybe it's time to lower the age minimum (currently 50) for the Shingles vaccine for those of us old enough to have had the Chicken Pox... 🤔

Shingles is the reactivation of Chicken Pox.

Multiple Sclerosis is the reactivation of EBV (Mono).

See the pattern?

What if I told you there was a simple OTC that you could take during acute COVID that could help prevent a cytokine storm?

What if I told you there weren't more studies because the government won't fund the research because of... optics?

That thing is nicotine.

True story.
No one is suggesting taking up 🚬!!!

One week on a nicotine patch.

Early papers from 2020 make the connection.

Since then? 🦗🦗🦗

I wonder why 🤔

Welcome to Covid 101 (Season 2024)

@NickGuthe and I both got Covid.

I took Paxlovid for 10 days. He couldn't stand the taste and stopped at 5.

He tested neg for 5 days and is now sicker than before, testing strongly positive.

This is NOT a rebound. There is no such thing.

1/ Image
This is the natural viral cycle of Covid that has been constant from the beginning:

Days 5-8 were *always* the danger zone.

You either started to recover or entered the cytokine storm that put people in the hospital and on vents.

2/
A so-called "rebound" is likely an indication that you had a high viral load to begin with and would have ended up much sicker without Paxlovid.

In February 2021 Congress gave the @NIH $1.15 Billion to study #LongCovid.

They decided to start with an observational cohort.

Recruitment started October 2021.

Recruitment status as of TODAY:

13,365 out of 17,000 adults
2917 out of 6000 peds

Where did the money go????

1/
In April 2021 @NIH put out a call to scientists to apply for trials (how things should work).

No applications were accepted and clinical trials were put on hold.

As of TODAY:

- no trial protocol has been completed
- no trial sites have been chosen
- no trials have started

2/
The piece de resistance of RECOVER was to be (sadly not the clinical trials) a registry*

The registry was supposed to start recruiting Dec. 2022.

As of TODAY it is on hold (pulled?)

* @Survivor_Corps @ColumbiaMed @ChanZuckerberg @Sagebio started this in Summer 2020 fwiw

👉 Looking for some advice...

A 🧵...

From the beginning of the Pandemic @Survivor_Corps has led the way.

A few examples:

- Kicked off plasma movement in early 2020 (we saved hospitals and blood bankers a fortune b/c they never had to advertise. We did it for them)

1/
- Provided free and immediate access to Monoclonal Antibodies and other early Therapeutics through our portal GotCOVID.org (we did it way better and waaay faster than the US Government - they agreed)

2/
- Advised White House / CDC / HHS / NIH / Congress etc etc (all unpaid except for one HHS contract - Health Plus)

- Linked every major media outlet (and all the small ones too) with real people to tell their COVID stories (we basically act as unpaid bookers)

Let's revisit COVID testing.

Here's the story of my 14yo kid today... (his bff tested positive earlier today and they spent the weekend together)

1/
- 14yo presented with sore throat Monday. BFF tested positive = known exposure.

Tested negative on RAT (nose only)

2/
- Tested negative Tuesday on rapid antigen test [RAT] (administered via nose only)
