"Emerging evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can have lasting effects on nearly every organ and organ system of the body weeks, months, and potentially years after infection"

Public Health Ontario's Evidence & Risk Assessment for SARS-COV-2
(June 23 2022) stated:
"Preventing high levels of COVID-19 community transmission may mitigate the
incidence of PACS (long COVID) and its long term impacts"

Official from Public Health Ontario SARS-COV-2 Risk Assessment (June 2022)
"Emerging evidence indicates that reinfection adds risk of all-cause mortality, hospitalization and
adverse health outcomes during acute & post-acute SARS-CoV-2 reinfection."
#DontGetReinfectedBySARSCOV2
Public Health Ontario SARS-COV-2 Risk Assessment
"Additionally, the risk and burden may increase in a graded manner according to the number of infections, which suggests preventing reinfection could reduce overall SARS-CoV-2 burden of death & disease"
#DontGetReinfectedbySARSCOV2
Official from Public Health Ontario SARS-COV-2 Risk Assessment (June 2022):
"Current COVID-19 vaccines and previous SARS-CoV-2 infection do not provide sterilizing immunity (i.e., full protection from infection or reinfection)."

SARS-COV-2 and cancer: So, what's the evidence, can SARS-COV-2 itself cause cancer, & separately can it increase risk & rapidity of death from existing cancers, & reactivate dormant cancers?

Let's start with what causes cancer 🧵

How do viruses cause cancer? 🧵

Is SARS-COV-2, the virus that causes COVID and long COVID, carcinogenic? 🧵

How are y'all liking living with COVID?

How's it working out for you? (the survivors so far anyway)

How many of you liking living with long COVID, immune dysfunction, increased risk of other infections & the organ damage?

The accelerated dementia, increased cancer risks?
You realise this isn't going away right?

The new variants are going to keep arising because we keep allowing ourselves (as a population at least, we know the smart ones are avoiding it) to be regularly infected

So if you keep getting reinfected, how do you see your future?
Each (re)infection, is accompanied by an additional round of COVID risks.

Have you understood what they are yet?

No, it's not "just a cold"

SARS-COV-2 infection is systemic & can affect any or every part of your body, which leads to many different problems in different people

@RageSheen I think to an extent this is a somewhat privileged take, for those removed from the day to day struggle for existence, for those who need little and want little from society, or community, & who have the agency to cut themselves off from it (to a greater degree).
@RageSheen I also think it's a somewhat narcissistic & introvert take, arguably putting introversion on a pedestal, expressing schadenfreude at the harms befalling those who are more extrovert
@RageSheen There's also a fair bit of truth in it however, for those with wealth & agency, we can sit back, sit apart, and let the world burn. Whether that's with disinterest, delight, or grudging acceptance that try as we might we can't materially change its course as individuals

I thought it useful to share this response from ChatGPT to the query:

"What proportion of people infected with SARS-COV-2 may remain anti-N negative & why?"

Hopefully people find it a useful counterargument to the suggestion that some may "avoid infection altogether"
1/x
 🧵
The proportion of people infected with SARS-CoV-2 who may remain anti-N (antibody to nucleocapsid protein) negative can vary based on several factors, including the timing of the antibody test relative to infection, the individual’s immune response, & the specific test used

2/x
Estimates of Anti-N Negativity

Studies suggest that a significant number of individuals may remain anti-N negative after SARS-CoV-2 infection. For instance, research indicates that around 30-40% of infected individuals may not produce detectable anti-N antibodies, ...

@jim_reed @northernsi @PJeffcock @BBCNews Jim, please don't take the criticism personally

We really appreciate it's even being reported

It would be great if you could write something on how healthcare worker safety was being undermined by incorrect IPC guidance

Many doctors & nurses died because of this
@jim_reed @northernsi @PJeffcock @BBCNews It didn't just harm doctors & nurses, it harmed care workers, ambulance workers, patients, relatives, teachers, pupils, lecturers, students, shop workers, customers

It caused tens of thousands of avoidable deaths, hundred of thousands with avoidable chronic illness
@jim_reed @northernsi @PJeffcock @BBCNews It led to hundreds of billions of pounds of largely avoidable government expenditure

It led to many billions more of avoidable economic damage

The COVID pandemic is STILL ongoing and this damage is STILL accumulating

The public need to be informed that the risk remains

A permademic of a virus with no durable immunity that makes everyone (or at least most) more susceptible to infections is bad news for public health & economies

At a time of war it becomes a potential enabler & amplifier of bioterrorism attacks, as well as a cover for them 🤔😬
Let's hope governments are smart, and think about moving towards a clean air infrastructure, requiring / recommending HEPA filtration in workplaces & schools & on public transport, putting in place the regulations & production capacity to implement this quickly
This will increase our societies' resilience against both existing airborne infections, novel pathogens of pandemic potential, and bioterrorism & biological warfare agents

It's kind of an existential threat, and in our economic and national security interests to fix this quickly
