The New York Times published this article in June 2020, then we pretended it never happened.

“The emerging picture indicates that the model for HIV treatment, a cocktail of antiviral drugs, may be a good bet for those with mild illness..." nytimes.com/2020/06/26/hea…
New York Times June 26, 2020 “How the Coronavirus Short-Circuits the Immune System In a disturbing parallel to H.I.V., the coronavirus can cause a depletion of important immune cells, recent studies found.”
September 2021: infectioncontroltoday.com/view/long-covi…
Infection Control Today: “One of those experts is Kevin Kavanagh, MD, a member of Infection Control Today®’s (ICT®’s) Editorial Advisory Board who, in a Viewpoint published Monday, forcefully described the differences between COVID-19 and the flu. “Unlike influenza, SARS-CoV-2 uses ACE2 receptors to infiltrate cells,” Kavanagh wrote. “Similar to HIV, SARS-CoV-2 can silently spread throughout the host’s body and attack almost every organ.”
In January 2022, we learned SARS-CoV-2 causes more T cell death than HIV.
In June 2022, we started hearing SARS-CoV-2 causes lymphocytopenia.
October 2022 cleveland.com/news/2022/10/i…
Cleveland.com “Eerily similar to HIV McComsey, who has spent the last two decades studying HIV, said that the data they have found so far paints a picture that is eerily familiar. “Now I just look at it, and I’m like gosh, it’s like a déjà vu,” McComsey said. If the idea that the behavior of the SARS-CoV-2 virus might have any similarities to HIV is news to you, you aren’t alone. But McComsey said that for the HIV researchers who have made the crossover to studying this new coronavirus, the similarities that emerged were unmistakable.”
March 2023: “These findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection damages the CD8+ T cell response, an effect akin to that observed in earlier studies showing long-term damage to the immune system after infection with viruses such as hepatitis C or HIV.” nih.gov/news-events/ne…
And recently:
The is an excellent article about the very early & numerous warnings from @fitterhappierAJ

“He hypothesized that the virus, by harming the immune system, could make people more vulnerable to other infections and cancers.” thetyee.ca/Analysis/2022/…
February 2022: “Even in the general population, Covid is a very immune suppressive infection…For the people that get sick with it, this is a bad virus.”
“Covid likely increases the risk of fungal infections because of its effect on the immune system…”
“The cause of the lymphocytopenia is not completely understood” and that is why we have decided to infect and reinfect unprotected populations with wild abandon. merckmanuals.com/professional/h…
Merck Manual Etiology of Lymphocytopenia: “Patients with COVID-19 also frequently have lymphocytopenia (35 to 83% of patients) (2). Lower lymphocyte counts portend a poor prognosis and an increased likelihood of requiring ICU admission and of dying from the disease. The cause of the lymphocytopenia is not completely understood, but COVID-19 can directly infect lymphocytes, and a cytokine-related apoptosis of the cells is likely.”
They’re coming right out and saying it now, but we aren’t adapting. Now that an estimated 100% of the American population has gotten Covid, I assume the powers that be assume the damage is already done, & we have nothing left to lose. Protect yourselves. The damage is cumulative. A single Google search result: “Lymphocytopenia is most often due to AIDS, and recently COVID-19, or undernutrition, but it also may be inherited or caused by various infections, drugs, or autoimmune disorders. Patients have recurrent viral, bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infections. https://www.merckmanuals.com › l... Lymphocytopenia - Hematology and Oncology - Merck Manuals
This article focuses on post-Covid liver complications, but this is the important takeaway:

“We haven't followed people for a long period of time because COVID has only been around for a few years, so we just don't know what will happen to people.” usnews.com/news/health-ne…
“‘Every time I catch it, it adds new layers to my disabilities. COVID is slowly killing me.’ Her haematologist believes the past COVID infections have further damaged her immune system. She is looking at a possible lupus diagnosis." h/t @RougeMatisse urbanaffairs.ca/berta/meet-the…
Fixed it. sciencealert.com/long-covid-see…

Science Alert: “LongCovid seems to make distinct changes to the immune system” (I added a red line a marking out the word “Long”) May 21, 2023 by Felicity Nelson
Science Alert: To find out more about this long COVID infection – or post-acute sequelae SARS-CoV-2 (PASC), as it is increasingly being called – researchers at the US National Institute of Health did extensive testing on 12 people with long COVID and compared those results against a group of healthy volunteers who hadn't contracted COVID. (“Who hadn’t contracted covid” highlighted in yellow)
Given what we know, and given my own personal experiences, this certainly tracks.
Imagine if we had waited for the data instead of rapidly infecting & reinfecting everyone, including our kids. MASSIVE damage has been done & we’re allowing it to continue unchecked. Why?
More infections will only hasten premature death. If you’ve EVER had Covid, there’s a good chance you’re Immunocompromised & you should protect yourself. You can’t feel it, you’ll just get sick all the time, while told you should get more sick to not get sick. Road to nowhere.
Since the NYT compared Covid to HIV in June 2020, we’ve learned Covid, like AIDS, causes acquired lymphocytopenia. As the masses (including kids) are experiencing unusual, frequent & recurrent infections that won’t resolve, we still aren’t adapting. verywellhealth.com/low-white-bloo…
Very well health: “More specifically, though, people who have low levels of lymphocytes have a condition called lymphocytopenia or lymphopenia. It occurs when your body doesn't make enough of these blood cells. It can also be acquired, such as in people with AIDS.9 Symptoms of diseases that can cause a low white blood cell count like HIV, cancer treatment, and uncontrolled diabetes can include:10 Frequent or repeat infections Infections that won't resolve Unusual or rare infections Fevers Bladder infections Mouth sores Skin infections Sinus infections or stuffy nose”
“Scientists have also noted that our immune system weakens after infection and even more so after reinfection, leading to other non-COVID causes of death such as bacterial or other viral infections.” h/t @MeetJess theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…
“Long-term damage”

As the HORRIBLE news continues to roll in, we still aren’t adapting. We’ve been relying on the same failed plan since 2021. It never changes. infectioncontroltoday.com/view/covid-19-…
Infection control: “COVID-19: Study Suggests Long-term Damage to Immune System Published on: March 21, 2023 Kevin Kavanagh, MD NIH News Release: "...findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection damages the CD8+ T cell response, an effect akin to that observed in earlier studies showing long-term damage to the immune system after infection with viruses such as hepatitis C or HIV."
“Much has been said about how T-cells will save us and how T-cells are important for COVID immunity. We have a separate preprint that dissects that idea, and it really isn’t true…

What we really need is to protect our T-cells from COVID.”
When UK Glamour is more transparent about Covid’s effects on the immune system than the CDC and western media combined... h/t @TRyanGregory
UK Glamour: Here's why you're constantly run-down and your immune system is so messed up after Covid  If you're constantly feeling run-down, here's why… By Bianca London 31 March 2023
UK Glamour: The cause is a massive inflammatory reaction, which Dr Walser compares to a major fire in the body that the immune system has to extinguish. “As a long-term consequence, this can trigger a dysregulation in the immune system with weakening and autoimmunity,” she adds.
👀
So weird how all the countries that let it rip are now experiencing simultaneous surges of syphilis & other STIs, measles, tuberculosis, strep, HMPV, RSV, C auris, enterovirus, legionella, bacterial meningitis, influenza, norovirus, mpox, & more…

Covid is only the beginning.
🥴 More infections aren’t “building immunity,” they’re causing immense damage. merckmanuals.com/professional/h…
A single Google search result: “Lymphocytopenia is most often due to AIDS, and recently COVID-19, or undernutrition, but it also may be inherited or caused by various infections, drugs, or autoimmune disorders. Patients have recurrent viral, bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infections. https://www.merckmanuals.com › l... Lymphocytopenia - Hematology and Oncology - Merck Manuals “Patients have recurrent viral, bacterial, fungal or parasitic infections” is underlined in yellow.
I like to watch people’s reactions when they begin to realize how much we’ve known all along. People are SHOCKED to learn The Great Unmasking and Mild Covid™️ was a giant scam to keep people working and consuming.
This has certainly been true for me, & I can’t stop thinking about what this looks like at the population level.

Four basic limbic system functions:
1. Homeostatic functions (includes autonomic and
neuroendocrine control)
2. Olfaction
3. Memory
4. Emotions and drives
It won’t take 10 years…like, the signs are everywhere, if you’re actively choosing to pay attention and dwell in reality.
When the people in my life (there are many) tell me they’re always sick and miserable, and I tell them SARS-CoV-2 causes lymphocytopenia and more T-cell death than HIV, they pretend they didn’t hear me, & they don’t respond at all. And these are people who should know better.
I broke through to a good friend (& healthcare professional) today. After 2 years of blowing me off when I warned them about Covid-related immune dysfunction since they’re constantly ill, it’s like a switch flipped & they suddenly acknowledged they could have it. Taking this win.
I think people are utterly terrified, and they’re coping by going through the motions and actively blocking out all the uncomfortable truths. It’s all going to backfire spectacularly. This is a road to nowhere.
@TRyanGregory Back in March we got a flurry of articles acknowledging Covid causes long-term damage to the immune system…and media hasn’t covered it since. The Covid media blackout has been ongoing for MONTHS and MONTHS. Why do we tolerate this?
As the public realizes the “fear-mongering” was actually VALID CONCERNS about a novel pathogen humanity has no experience with, it’s too late to prevent catastrophe. Our corporate overlords are WELL AWARE there’s nothing left to lose. Behave accordingly. Don’t become a sacrifice.
The writing is on the wall. That’s why we’re hearing “Have more babies” (with no regard for Covid-related fetal brain damage or all the catastrophic Covid-related complications in pregnancy)—they intend to cull and replace the maimed, & keep it right on moving. Don’t volunteer.
All the people who spent the last 3 years misleading the public and causing immense harm never seem to publicly announce they were wrong.

No, they fade into the woodwork, allowing people to continue believing all the pleasant untruths, & media dutifully plays along.
We’ve known since 2020.

I often think about all the damage that has been done, and how things could have been radically different if the powers-that-be hadn’t forced us to forget the above early 2020 narrative.
People are like, “My kid is currently on life support, but it’s fine because it’s not Covid, it’s BACTERIAL—totally unrelated. Nothing to see here.”

Yeah, and those frequent bacterial infections are occurring because our previous Covid infections wiped out our immune systems.
…
We’ve known so much for so long, but we still infected & reinfected the entire population in pursuit of short term profit gains.

Now we get to live with it.
These processes were first documented in September 2020, but this is your periodic reminder the New York Times was seemingly already aware in June 2020.

We’ve known the entire time, but we didn’t want to accept it.
“You’re getting immune exhaustion, so you’re probably at increased risk of further infections because you’re becoming immunocompromised with reduced T cell activity. In addition, the pro-inflammatory cytokines are inflaming the endothelium. You end up with cytokine & clot soup.”
Dear friends, the willful ignorance is deliberate.
They sure did, not long after the Merck Manual reported lymphocytopenia FREQUENTLY occurs in those who have had Covid.

People are surprised to learn they’re now immunocompromised & experiencing recurrent fungal, viral, bacterial & parasitic infections—when they’re told at all.
As of June 2020, it was recommended individuals who tested positive for Covid be started on antivirals and preventative blood thinners.

We did NONE OF THIS—literally none of it. We ignored it all and forcibly infected entire countries.
These are not benign changes, a thread:
Imagine if we had started everyone on antivirals like was originally planned instead of calling it a cold & insisting everyone needed to be repeatedly infected to be protected.

Now that catastrophic damage has already been done, hiding it from the public is the ONLY goal now.
I’ve been seeing people report this since 2020. Folks have LITERALLY been posting their results on social media for the last 3 years, desperately trying to warn people, while they were publicly shamed & humiliated. Now EVERYONE gets to live it.
I remember chatting with Amy about this in like 2021, swapping stories in hushed tones, at the same time everyone was aggressively unmasking and insisting everyone needed to be infected to be protected.

We’ve known all along.
This was MY EXPERIENCE:
I’ve been doing this for so long, the people who blew me off for the last 3 years—telling me I was mistaken then returning to normal with zero protections—are now crawling back & reporting it happened to them too.
A lot of us were THRILLED when @fitterhappierAJ began discussing this because WE WERE ALREADY LIVING IT and none of our (unmasked) doctors would acknowledge it. Y’all thought we enjoy living in fear—no we were relieved to have an explanation for what was happening to our bodies!
SARS 1 was compared to HIV, and so naturally we decided to infect the entire world with version number two.
We cannot coexist with this virus.

“13 out of 22 participants or 59% with cognitive symptoms met HIV associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND) criteria. As did 7 out of 10 (70%) of asymptomatic patients.” (Study linked below)
This isn’t a friendly virus we can coexist with, and immense harm has already been done.
“In this final stage of the disease, people develop opportunistic infections they are unable to shake off & that eventually kills them. Chronic diarrhea is common, people lose weight, develop oral fungal infections... it's a nasty end of life.”

Evidently a faster process in LC.
Every day. Remember, it has only been 3 years.
Oh wow, The Straits Times, based in Singapore, beat the NYT by 4 months. This was published in February 2020 (link below).

We have known all along, and the powers-that-be know too, so we should probably be asking why they’re still forcing endless unmitigated reinfection…
“People without HIV taking PrEP with tenofovir were 29% less likely to be hospitalized for any reason and 14% less likely to be hospitalized for COVID-19 than those not taking PrEP.” …visionofresearch.kaiserpermanente.org/hiv-medication…
And this is what @dbdugger often talks about. We’re in trouble.
@dbdugger China has been giving people Azvudine for the last year. The US has no idea what its doing…or maybe it does. scmp.com/news/china/sci…
@dbdugger If you’ve been paying attention, you may have noticed opportunistic infections are seemingly everywhere, all of them at once, and increasing at a rapid clip.
@dbdugger The Merck Manual doesn’t think it’s a cold.

In my opinion, the powers-that-be know immense, irreversible damage has already been done at the population level, thus they conclude we have nothing to lose by continuing to hit the accelerator. merckmanuals.com/professional/h…

@dbdugger This is happening around the world.

“A person shared her CD4, after the third infection. It is 258.”
In early 2020, antivirals were recommended for everyone with mild Covid. Then that was all memory-holed so we could freely infect & reinfect everyone for the economy. It might be already TOO LATE for a lot of people. We are SO far behind, & it is criminal.
@dbdugger I want everyone to read the above thread in its entirety, study after study proving Covid infections cause long-term damage to the immune system, appearing to move faster than HIV, then read THIS thread & ask yourselves why the CDC is still encouraging unmitigated mass infection.
If you’re still getting Covid, you’re at risk. You don’t FEEL it, & you may not know anything’s wrong yet, but you or your kids may be experiencing frequent & recurrent bacterial, fungal, viral or parasitic infections, while you’re misled to believe you’re “building immunity.”
People seem to think vaccines erected magic shields around all their organs, & their frequent Covid infections aren’t doing any damage. All the recurring bacterial/fungal infections are bad luck, & the “rare” new diagnoses unfortunate, but definitely not connected to Covid. 😵‍💫
“The cheerleaders and advocates who told us all that we could catch this virus repeatedly will resist, and as the evidence builds their attacks will get more ferocious because they know they are on the record, and they know that I can explain exactly why they were wrong.”
The NIH is three years behind, but at least they’re acknowledging it now.
I definitely dispute the “severe Covid” framing though. I, and numerous others, experienced mild to moderate Covid infections, never hospitalized, & we’re still immunocompromised. Don’t believe the hype. We’re ALL at risk.
Please note: *mild* infection.
The CDC didn’t limit it to “severe Covid” back in April.
February 2022, Oops: “Even in the general population, Covid is a very immune suppressive infection…For the people that get sick with it, this is a bad virus.”
Hello, is anyone paying attention?

“The significant blow y’all are not paying attention to is that which is occurring to the organs required to excrete and metabolize every drug class.”
Fascinating thread.
"N/120 & N/152 genotypes reduce the Immune Response infecting lymphocytes allowing the virus to persist indefinitely, causing an Acquire Immune Deficiency Syndrome and other related syndromes to chronic viremia, especially with viruses that cause respiratory & blood diseases.”
Lately, a tsunami of sophisticated trolls & chaos agents have been repeating “The vax damages immune systems & masks cause cancer” in unison because all evidence is pointing directly to THE VIRUS, & the powers-that-be wish to preserve the status quo for as long as possible.
This is your periodic reminder SARS-CoV-2 causes long term damage to immune systems, we’ve known since 2020, and China has been giving people who get Covid HIV drugs for the last year. The US is in trouble.
Since 2020, those of us who got sick early have been swapping stories/lab results that demonstrate our measurable immunodeficiency. I was personally tested for HIV numerous times because that’s what my early labs looked like. Three years later, even doctors are ignored.
I distinctly remember swapping stories with Amy in 2020. Patients have known all along. We were silenced so Pretend Normal could continue.
We’ve been hearing about this since 2020, but we refuse to adapt. Even as the data continues to roll in and all this becomes undeniable, we’re STILL doubling down on endless reinfection, when each reinfection causes cumulative damage. And we’re even reinfecting our KIDS.
I posted this video yesterday but I’m also dropping it into this thread because it belongs here.
As we continue reinfecting ourselves & our offspring, please remember the Merck Manual quietly admits SARS-CoV-2, like AIDS, causes lymphocytopenia & patients have recurrent viral, bacterial, fungal & parasitic infections. This is a road to nowhere. merckmanuals.com/professional/h…

If at first Covid doesn’t kill you, the opportunistic infections will finish the job. When you die of a rare cancer, opportunistic infection, or any of the wide range of resulting complications, Covid will have directly caused your death, but your cause of death won’t be Covid.
In June 2020, the New York Times acknowledged Covid damages immune systems & said, “the model for HIV treatment, a cocktail of antiviral drugs, may be a good bet for those with mild illness.”

That narrative was memory-holed so we could freely infect everyone for the economy.
Oh wow, more breaking news from 2020. h/t @RadCentrism 1news.co.nz/2023/09/13/cov…
@RadCentrism If you know what you’re looking at, you can’t see anything else.
@RadCentrism ::Whispers:: The goal is to keep people working, consuming, & distracted so the masses won’t realize we have all been slated for premature death. The damage is done. The faster we die the cheaper it will be, & they did it all for capitalism.
According to the CDC in April, “Covid likely increases the risk of fungal infections because of its effects on the immune system…”
Around the time China started giving adults with Covid HIV drugs last year, western countries were insisting public health protections aren’t necessary because even more Covid infections would lead to “superimmunity.”

They wanted us infected.
“Our results suggest that in some patients the novel coronavirus can cause acute immunodeficiency not only by killing some of the subject’s CD4+ T lymphocytes but also by impairing their function.”
So after almost 4 years, we’re back to where we started, acknowledging SARS-CoV-2 damages immune systems—“in a disturbing parallel to HIV”—a fact the New York Times printed in June 2020.

Most everyone has been infected. Imagining what might have been is sad.
We literally disregarded ALL OF THIS, turned the public against masks on purpose, & told everyone they were fully protected.

It’s nothing short of heinous. Crimes against humanity. Unforgivable.
In January 2022, we learned SARS-CoV-2 causes more T-cell death than HIV.

We really need our T-cells. h/t @Comm_in_Care
We’ve known since 2020, but we never adapt, because the goal isn’t actually protecting and preserving human life. If it were, we wouldn’t still be reinfecting our kids.
Since 2020, we’ve known SARS-CoV-2 causes immunodeficiency & more T-cell death than HIV. Many LongCovid patients have bloodwork that looks like advanced AIDS. The Merck Manual admits it causes lymphocytopenia. China is giving people HIV drugs.

Perfect timing for this narrative. Study Finds: “It’s not LongCovid? Study explains some May be experiencing LongColds” two hours ago
The faster we die, the cheaper it will be. I personally believe the only goals now are DELAYING & DISTRACTING in order to run out the clock. They don’t want people learning about this or demanding change. So, we maintain order & keep up appearances because the damage is done.
We’ve been hearing about this since 2020. Post-Covid patients have been DESPERATELY trying to warn everyone since then. We’ve been posting labs & quietly swapping stories while medical professionals & the public called us hysterical & lined up for Forever Reinfections.
Three and a half years after the New York Times reported: “In a disturbing parallel to HIV, coronavirus can cause a depletion of important immune cells,” here we are.

We’ve known all along, but we were made to forget.
😑 We keep hitting the accelerator while our corporate overlords invest in chronic illness, death, & every conceivable negative outcome that occurs as a result of Covid & mass communicable disease, while convincing us this is our choice.
4 years after the June 2020 NYT article that said:

“In a disturbing parallel to HIV, SARS-CoV-2 can cause a depletion of important immune cells.”

GMA: “We now have evidence that Covid decreases our immune response, making us susceptible to infections.” goodmorningamerica.com/wellness/video…
Good morning America, December 2, 2023 “Cases of respiratory illness are on the rise. Eleven states, plus NY & PR are experiencing high or very high levels of respiratory illness activity”
Almost 4 years after the NYT compared Covid & HIV in June 2020, suggesting “a cocktail of antivirals may be a good bet for those with mild illness,” & as China has been giving adults with Covid HIV drugs for over 1.5 years, here we are. medicalxpress.com/news/2023-12-d…
Medical Xpress: “Dose matters: HIV drug could prevent coronaviruses study finds” university of Bristol December 5, 2023
Fewer scientists were more viciously attacked than @fitterhappierAJ

He was right.

November 2022: “He hypothesized that the virus, by harming the immune system, could make people more vulnerable to other infections and cancers.” thetyee.ca/Analysis/2022/…
The tyee What If COVID Reinfections Wear Down Our Immunity? Dr. Anthony Leonardi is a lightning rod for debate. If he’s right, this pandemic poses a greater threat than widely assumed. Andrew Nikiforuk 7 Nov 2022TheTyee.ca
Four years after the New York Times compared SARS-CoV-2 to HIV & suggested “a cocktail of antivirals may be a good bet for those with mild illness,” we’ve come full circle. Running out the clock on humanity.
At the end of the day, we’ve established SARS-CoV-2 has A LOT in common with HIV. We knew this in 2020, but then we took a 3 year detour & the unmasked public believed they could still get Covid without the immunodeficiency & the organ damage. Now we know better but we’re still not changing our behavior. Why? It raises a lot of questions.

We had a good run. Live science: RFK's proposal to let bird flu spread through poultry could set us up for a pandemic, experts warn News By Ben Turner published July 3, 2025 HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins have expressed interest in letting H5N1 outbreaks spread unchecked through U.S. poultry farms. Health experts warn it could lead to a new pandemic.
What a terrible idea.

“Instead of culling birds infected with the highly pathogenic H5N1 virus, farmers should let it spread through flocks.

The idea is that by doing this, farmers can ‘identify the birds, & preserve the birds, that are immune to it.’” livescience.com/health/flu/rfk…Live science: Essentially, the longer you allow a virus that has shown to be effective in infecting multiple hosts survive in an environment, the greater the chance you give it to spread, to mutate, and to try its luck at adaptation," perspective first-author Erin Sorrell, a virologist at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, told Live Science. "Worse case scenario, the virus adapts and expands its host range to become transmissible in humans … Now we have a pandemic."
I tend to believe human-to-human transmission has been well underway for A WHILE now.

Everyone has expertly memory-holed this. It’s chilling.

This phenomenon highlights exactly why we never make progress: Everyone ignores human rights violations when their preferred “side” is in power. They only begin to show concern when the other side takes over & does it too.
I am SO THANKFUL I kept a history of the pandemic on this app for this very reason. It’s like a time capsule.
Here is the thread I kept on the end of pandemic funding under Biden despite RECORD disease & death.

If you needed to secure antivirals, but your doctors won’t follow the science or acknowledge SARS-CoV-2 is a persistent virus that must be cleared, how would you go about doing that? Are there doctors who do remote visits & take cash? Do we go to China? Dark web? Beg? Plead? Cry?
It has been a full year since the NIH Director admitted SARS-CoV-2 is a live replicating virus that persists.

The below thread on all the areas SARS-CoV-2 persists is my most lengthy thread on this app.
China is using repurposed HIV drugs to clear the virus. Western countries are not.

China’s approach “hinges on a crucial scientific move.

That the mechanisms driving SARS-CoV-2’s persistence and immune evasion are similar to those in HIV.”

It’s strange how all the Professional Minimizers—who absolutely insist new variants do not pose increased risks—NEVER mention the horrifying reinfections data, or all the studies that show SARS-CoV-2 persists almost everywhere & causes long-term damage to immune systems.
November 2022 reuters.com/business/healt…Reuters: Nov 10 (Reuters) - The risk of death, hospitalization and serious health issues from COVID-19 jumps significantly with reinfection compared with a first bout with the virus, regardless of vaccination status, a study published on Thursday suggests. "Reinfection with COVID-19 increases the risk of both acute outcomes and long COVID," said Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. "This was evident in unvaccinated, vaccinated and boosted people
Harvard in 2022, before the EXTREME risks associated with reinfections were buried so Pretend Normal could move forward. harvardmagazine.com/2022/12/covid-…Harvard Magazine: The data show a consistent pattern of increased likelihood of hospitalization, cardiovascular effects, clotting and other blood disorders, diabetes, fatigue, gastrointestinal distress, kidney damage, mental health effects such as depression, musculoskeletal damage, neurological deficits, and pulmonary damage with each episode.
