I'm going to start this thread with a boring tweet so no one reads it.
But what if using the term AIDS is a problem because people don't understand that *immune deficiency* is the *boss level* of untreated HIV infection, not the introductory open world gameplay.
Blastic NK-cell lymphoma means something has gone *really wrong* in immune regulation.
It’s a malignancy of the cells that are *supposed to destroy infected cells*.
Can we all agree that it's weird and not good that there has been a 25% rise in hospital episodes of acute myocardial infarction (heart attacks) in young working age adults?
And can we all look at that graph and maybe just consider for a moment that it might be due to damage caused by covid infections?
And, no, of course we're not catching up on the pandemic backlog of heart attacks you flipping dingdong.
There's no treatment delay.
Or reporting delay.
These are recorded on the day they happen.
🤬
And, no, it's not due to changes in healthcare practices.
If you get an acute myocardial infarction, a heart attack, you get hospital treatment straight away.
🚨If Covid infections could interfere with the way your body handles fats, you'd expect a massive jump in the number of episodes of hospital treatment for that problem.
🧵📈
What do you think the graph is going to look live?
