⚠️NEW ONSET AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE—New study in 640k patients shows that #SARSCoV2 infection leads to ⬆️43% increased risk of developing **new-onset autoimmune diseases** after acute #COVID19 over. Another autoimmune disorder also exacerbated ⬆️23%. Not good!
medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
2) Also, the new onset autoimmune diseases risk is seen in both women and men; young and old, and notably both hospitalized and NON-HOSPITALIZED #COVID19 patients. Ergo— it’s not just a problem in formerly severe patients.
3) Whoa — ⬆️ 55% higher risk of developing new onset Celiac disease after #COVID19 infection?! Wowzers.
4) More bad findings post #COVID19:

📌 41% ⬆️ higher risk of Grave’s disease

📌 42-45% ⬆️ higher risk of Rheumatoid arthritis

📌 25% ⬆️ higher risk of type 1 diabetes

📌 27-29% ⬆️ higher risk of Crohn’s disease
5) Also for the anti-vaxxers out there… the study was from early pandemic #COVID-infected folks before Dec 31 2020, and followup concluded by mid 2021 — vaccines were only available to non high risk people late in Q2 2021, so these long term findings are definitely NOT vaccine.

My god—can we #endminkfarming already?!

📍‘Incredibly concerning’: Bird flu outbreak at Spanish mink farm triggers pandemic fears.

➡️Spread among captive mink could give the #H5N1 strain opportunities to evolve and adapt to mammals.
science.org/content/articl…
2) When mink at a big farm in Galicia, a region in northwestern Spain, started to die in October 2022, veterinarians initially thought the culprit might be SARS-CoV-2, which has struck mink farms in several other countries. But lab tests soon revealed something scarier:
3) a deadly avian influenza virus named H5N1. Authorities immediately placed workers on the farm under quarantine restrictions. The more than 50,000 mink at the facility were killed and their carcasses destroyed.

Wall Street Journal headline writers folks… @WSJ—seriously, wtf.
wsj.com/articles/are-t…
“Doubleday once published a book with a title—“Too Many Asians”—that would never fly today. Author John Robbins argued that “if humanity is to have a future,” the West would have to see to it that fewer Asians were born in the years ahead.” 🤦🏻‍♂️
3) in case WSJ tries to cover up their horrible headline. For posterity…

My god—"Close to a half a million who would have been working ... died from #COVID," says Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell.

Don’t forget disabled by #LongCovid too. Don’t risk infection. Protect your family. #CovidIsNotOver

2) My deep worry is that this long term impact of #COVID on debilitating the work force will continue to hit us year after year, as COVID and other infections (via COVID’s immunocompromised) slams ashore every winter. The WH now feels the same way about future winter waves 👇
3) Who else has warned about #COVID cutting down the workforce? Actually the @bankofengland warned about it last year — especially regarding #LongCovid debilitating the workforce. So the US Federal Reserve & Bank of England warning enough for all the COVID deniers??? 👇

⚠️Sobering—STRAINED WINTERS FOR YEARS—White House COVID19 response coordinator @AshishKJha46 said the US health-care system may not be able to withstand the continued #COVID viral onslaught, straining ability to care for other serious illnesses. Wow.🧵

2) “I am worried that we are going to have, for years, our health system being pretty dysfunctional, not being able to take care of heart attack patients, not being able to take care of cancer patients, not being able to take care of the kid who’s got appendicitis because…”
3) “we’re going to be so overwhelmed with respiratory viruses for … three or four months a year,” says Jha .
He described a scenario in which the typical winter logjam of patients begins much earlier than usual — in August or September — because of the coronavirus.

Hospitalization ⬆️2x surging—but cases flat?? What’s going is testing has crashed and #COVID19 case numbers unreliable. ➡️Hospital and wastewater in MA don’t lie. Uncoupling—but in the WRONG WAY… opposite of last year. 📌Driven by #XBB15 strain. Don’t ignore the #Kraken. #MaskUp
3) Folks- im not being overly pessimistic — even the @WHO says #XBB15 is the most transmissible sub variant to date. Be careful. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
