#ForeverCovid brought to you by…

Endless variants? Pfizer ❤️s it! More vaccines.

Persistent virus? Gleeful Bourla tells investors that = more $$$ Paxlovid.

Pfizer donated $350k to Biden & $100k+ to Trump.

They doubled their billions in 2021.

They own us. Read this & 🤮
“…while patients may recoil at the need for repeated injections — two boosters are now recommended for people 50 and older — the requirement is gold for investors.”
“Hopefully, we could be giving it annually and maybe for some groups that are high-risk more often,” CEO Albert Bourla told investors this year. “Then you have the treatment [Paxlovid] that will, let’s say, resolve the issues of those that are getting the disease.”
“…most of the advisers said the FDA should require the next vaccine to target an even newer omicron variant, known as BA.5.

That would mean more work and expense for Pfizer, which called on the FDA to enable it to make future changes to the covid vaccine without human trials..”

Amazingly well-referenced article on the possible US-funded/ enabled Gain of Function research that may have sparked the pandemic.

We deserve answers to these most fundamental, important questions, and should demand accountability.

Interesting that we’re in the middle of a pandemic and the insane GoF we’ve conducted has had NO BENEFIT. vox.com/2020/5/1/21243…

Brilliant #Longcovid 🧵 , thx @fearnley_k!

Frankly, if ppl aren’t scared abt #Longcovid #LongCovidKids, it’s out of ignorance or the regrettable belief that a “healthy” person who takes vitamins & runs marathons is exempt.

I’ve seen more healthy ppl go down than anything.
This virus is COMMONLY destroying organs, vasculature, causing strokes, diabetes, brain damage, fertility problems, early death etc & most seem blind to these facts. If ppl understood, they would stop saying “it’s just a cold.“ That is wrong. The acute infection isn’t the prob!
The problem is latency! The virus has evolved to become less acutely deadly but just as bad longterm, from what we know.

Latency is the reason you should avoid this virus & repeated infections when possible. It persists in organs, quietly..til it’s not quiet anymore.

Deeply troubling that almost everyone at a COMMUNICABLE DISEASES CONFERENCE was maskless (a few shitty surgicals).
The ID trolls don’t like this tweet. Keep it going.
I know you’re all messaging each other to troll me.

Enjoy yourselves while your anti-science ID friends look like idiots.

Until there is an effective prophylaxis/ therapy or sterilizing vaccine to prevent #LongCovid, I will be wearing an N95 or better indoors in public spaces 💯 of the time (& still avoid when poss).

Testing, current vaccines, being “healthy” isn’t working (nearly well enough).
I encourage you to hold out for better options. They will come.

If you’ve already been infected, you don’t have to resign yourself to getting it again and again.

Compounded infections can lead to worse outcomes.

Short-term annoyance = longterm benefit.
I have recovered from a near-fatal case of Lyme/ Bartonella —both common vector-borne diseases w lots or overlap to Covid which are poorly understood/ recognized by MDs.

I was suddenly barely able to breathe.

I am not dumb enough to touch that fire twice.

Learn from me.

I have heard from tons of ppl whose docs said, “You have a mild case, you don’t need Paxlovid.”

Unbelievable that docs don’t know how irrelevant that is & that they’re poss subjecting large % of “mild” pts to #LongCovid.

If your PT wants early tx, GIVE IT TO THEM! FFS.
We waited over two years for a moderately OK antiviral. It’s pathetic, really. And then it’s being withheld from the exact kind of young, healthy people that so frequently get destroyed by #LongCovid.

I don’t get it. Do better. Treat patients early. Give them a fucking chance.
It’s medicine 101.

Treat patients early, get a better outcome.

What is the problem?

The worst, deadliest pathogen you have ever seen and you’re withholding treatment?

I hope pts report this to medical board.

Say what you will.

China knows Covid can disseminate through the body, causing multiple organ/ vascular damage, & debilitate huge % of population if they don’t mitigate it.

We are playing with 🔥 here in the US, criticizing them Bc we don’t have the will to save ourselves.
It is an excruciatingly regrettable choice we’re making to allow this virus to tear through the population.

It would be disingenuous to even say, “We don’t know the longterm effects.”

We know enough to know they’re not good.
