1/ 🧵How much would you trust Harvard as a source of information as opposed to your family and friends?
Well, today, Harvard Medical School published an article as a part of its continuing coverage of COVID-19.
I would like to cite a few sentences.

2/ "Currently, published medical literature suggests that #LongCovid occurs in 5 to 80 percent of patients following an infection. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests that nearly one in five American adults who have had COVID-19 now have long COVID.
3/ A conservative estimate from the Brookings Institution suggests that #LongCovid may be keeping as many as 4 million Americans out of work.
#LongCOVID, considered a silent pandemic by many, is running parallel to the COVID-19 pandemic.

4/ Primary care offices across the United States are seeing patients with possible #LongCovid , who may experience #LongCovid symptoms anywhere from weeks to years after their original infection."

5/ I listen to what Harvard researchers say. I don´t know about you.
#LongCovid is a #MassDisablingEvent. Science denialism will not change anything about it.

6/ Available data suggest that reinfections with SARS-CoV-2 cumulatively increase the risk of developing #LongCovid.
Imho: The statistical bias of the sample is filtered out to a large extent by the same bias in the control group. The data is relevant.

7/ In fact, there are complete and logical theories behind it. You can read about them here. thetyee.ca/Analysis/2022/…
8/ The statements here have nothing to do with fearmongering. This is about considering what science teaches us.
Instead of turning away from science and living in self-denialism, my dream would be that people embrace science. All we would need to do is calmly act sensibly.

9/ Prevent infections. Oral vaccines will make it easier in the future.
But the solution is not vaccines alone. The solution would be "vaccines plus". A general striving for R < 1 within the limits of what is reasonably feasible. Until further notice.

10/ Here is an article to be shared with friends and family regarding the latest published study on how reinfections cumulatively add risk.
