Without doing my own research, I wouldn’t have known:
✅12 “top” NYC docs were wrong, & it was #Lyme causing my ❤️ failure (I recovered w abx!)
✅ Covid is airborne
✅ N95s or better were the only masks that worked well against it
✅ herd immunity to Covid was a charade
Doing my own research has literally saved my life & the lives of many of my loved ones.
Anyone denigrating “doing your own research” is giving horrible advice & gaslighting you. Understand that they are afraid important truths you may learn.
Don’t know how many times people need to be sucker-punched and blindsided to see this.
Do your own research when things don’t feel right.
Trust your instincts.
And consider the insanity of the advice discouraging people from doing research!
What would be the motivation for that?
Think about it.

I almost died from chronic Lyme which caused me to go into heart failure. Here’s a partial chronic Lyme ref list, mostly from @IDSAInfo MDs/ scientists, put together by Harvard ID doc.
If #Covid was not a persistent infection lingering in 🧠 ❤️ 🫁 (sometimes ruining them) —even in those w “mild” or asymptomatic cases— I wouldn’t be that concerned abt it at this point.
BUT IT IS.
You deserve to know that & decide if u consent. #LongCovid
If you want clear understanding of #monkeypox, read this excellent PDF from Nigerian CDC.
✅ can spread via micro-cuts in skin that you don’t perceive
✅can be airborne
✅isolate until you are completely healed (poor @CDCgov guidance fails here!) etc
“…the relatively meager attention that has been paid to #LongCOVID is unfortunate because its health and economic consequences are likely to be every bit as substantial as those due to acute illness.” jamanetwork.com/journals/jama-…
“#Longcovid has been found in ppl w only mild initial illness. The most common symptom is fatigue. More severe cases involve damage to a variety of organ systems (lungs, heart, nervous system, kidneys, and liver have all been implicated), along with mental health impairment.”
“British population data suggest that 22% to 38% of people with the infection will have at least 1 COVID-19 symptom 12 weeks after initial symptom onset, and 12% to 17% will have 3 or more symptoms.
Rates this high translate to an enormous number of people with #LongCovid.”
