Reality check:

1. You can catch Covid multiple times.
2. Reinfections are common, not rare.
3. Breakthrough infections are common.
4. Covid can kill you months after you recover.
5. It can cause brain damage.
6. It can cause blood clots and heart attacks.
7. It doesn’t spare children.
8. Vaccines help, but only some.
9. Masks work
A superb summary. A must read for all jessicawildfire.substack.com/p/you-may-be-e…

1/ The Department of Health holds no data on long COVID in NHS staff and has no intention of collating this data minhalexander.com/2022/11/12/the… 🧵
2/ “Frontline NHS staff injured by COVID19 whilst trying to keep services afloat despite government mismanagement of the pandemic, have been treated with disdain by the government..
3/ “NHS Resolution holds some of the central data on NHS staff long COVID cases, but says the data is not specifically coded to allow a computer search and analysis.

1/ We are seeing an increase in strokes, PEs, DVTs, MI, even amongst the previously healthy. The risk factor? Covid infection. We know infection with SARS CoV-2 causes a pro thrombotic vasculitis. 🧵
2/ You would be mistaken to believe being young and healthy protects you from the harms of #COVID19.

Mild infection has been shown to lead to brain damage and significantly increase risk of cardiovascular and neurological complications. nature.com/articles/s4159…
3/ This large-scale study of 150k people showed even a mild case of COVID-19 can substantially increase a person’s risk of cardiovascular problems - some 20 types in all - for at least a year after diagnosis. nature.com/articles/s4159…

1/ Clear evidence of a circulation problem in #LongCovid. We know #SARSCoV2 causes a pan-vasculitis & hyper coagulability. Every long hauler whose blood has been tested has been +ve for microclots

⚠️Medics, pls note, a normal D dimer does NOT exclude the presence of microclots🧵
2/ D-dimer measures fibrinogens degradation products (FDPs). Because the microclots are not being broken down, d-dimer will not be raised.
3/ Unfortunately a blood test for microclots is not yet currently available in the UK outside of the research setting.

1/ Allowing the unmitigated spread of #SARSCoV2 is actually destroying the economy. 🧵
2/ A report by Household Pulse Survey (HPS), conducted by Census Bureau in America, found 16 million working-aged Americans (18-65 years) currently have #LongCovid.
Of those affected, between 2-4 million, are unable to work due to the severity condition.
3/ The impact on lost wages alone is estimated to be $170 billion a year (and potentially as high as $230 billion) brookings.edu/research/new-d…

And for the albeists out there, ‘vulnerble’ includes YOU. You are mistaken to believe being young, fit or healthily will protect you from the harms of #SARSCoV2. Covid doesn’t discriminate. #CovidisAirborne #CovidIsNotOver #WearAMask😷
Mild Covid cardiovascular damage: A large-scale study of 150k people showed even a mild case of COVID-19 can substantially increase a person’s risk of cardiovascular problems - some 20 types in all - for at least a year after diagnosis..
.. For example, the study found those recovered from COVID-19 were 52% more likely to have a stroke and 72% more likely to experience heart failure compared to a control group.

A vaccine is a drug. And as with any drug, it carries risk of adverse reaction.#Vaccineinjury needs to be discussed openly & honestly. Failure to do so will erode trust in future vaccination programmes. Patients who performed there civic duty should not be abandoned or gaslighted
Their* #LongCovid 🙄
