COVID leads to Long COVID. We know the more reinfections someone has, the higher the odds of long-term persistence & organ damage.

Why is the government still pursuing a pro-infection policy that exposes millions of children to repeat infections?

Research has proven that clean indoor air promotes good health and a better education.

We need updated standards that meet the demand COVID imposes. Protecting children in schools protects the entire community from the in-school transmission of many diseases, not just COVID.

Updating HVAC to monitor CO2 and automatically increase ventilation when CO2 level goes above 600 ppm and filtration that removes 99% of pathogens is the most important investment that we can make. Creating a society that thrives, extending quality of life years or decades.

However, if we fail to act and allow repeat infections with an extremely contagious airborne disease that infects every organ system and can persist for years, probably for life in many, impacting their thinking, and reproductive capabilities then we are destroying our future.

Study of 5.8 million people.
Compared to no reinfection, reinfection increased the risk of death, hospitalization, and other adverse health outcomes.

3 fold increased risk of hospitalization

3 fold increased risk of heart problems

3 fold increased risk of blood clotting

Reinfection also increased the risk of
Diabetes
Fatigue
Kidney problems
Mental health disorders
Musculoskeletal problems
Neurologic disorders
Lung problems

Compared to noninfected controls, cumulative risks of repeat infection increased according to the number of infections

Every reinfection contributes additional risk

3 infections worse than 2

2 infections worse than 1

1 infection worse than none

Six months after reinfection, the researchers found an excess risk of outcomes such as heart disease, lung problems, diabetes, fatigue, neurological disorders. “If you dodged the bullet that first time and did not get long COVID, upon reinfection, you could still get long COVID,”
