7 week old Ostara Clure from Nampa Idaho is too young to get vaccinated. She's now fighting for her life on ECMO because her lungs are so damaged from the Omicron Variant #KidsLivingWithCovid
"Before I didn't believe in the whole COVID. I didn't do the masks. I didn't do anything & now it's affecting my daughter... my other two kids came up positive. It changed our beliefs about how scary it really is.. while worried about our daughter who is fighting for her life"

🇧🇷 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 Image
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 Image
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

Brandon Vaughn from Pine Knot, Kentucky is critically ill from COVID and on ECMO because his lungs are permanently damaged from the virus. Without a double-lung transplant he won't survive. He is 17. #KidsLivingWithCovid
