PubMed database with 450,000 scientific studies of SARS-CoV-2, including 18,400 on Long-COVID & 19,500 case reports.

The details are quite horrifying, in a very matter-of-fact and scientific way.

Why is there almost zero public health response???

1. A friend shared frustration and incredulity that Cardiologists investigating her father’s heart issue during a hospital stay were unmasked. During a SARS2 surge. Cardiologists. Don’t they know SARS2 causes vascular damage?

It occurred to me, this is about culture.

2. Culture is irrational. We follow culture even when it contradicts science. Medical professionals are no different. An interesting medical objection to Semmelweis’ infection control work almost 200 years ago was “a gentleman’s hands are clean.” What could that mean?
3. The resistance to Semmelweis was cultural. How so? Medical culture is complex. But fundamentally it’s about helping through diagnosis & medication/surgery. That work is active – it’s about doing, it’s about actively pursuing a goal.

Question. Why have many epidemiologists shamed themselves & their profession by minimising SARS2 harms and pushing misinformation?

They’ve contributed to death, ill-health, and the permanent horror of ‘‘living’ with the virus.’

I have theory …
The professional identity of the epidemiologists should have driven them to fight heroically. They did the opposite.

I make no claims about how many and what proportion of epidemiologists. It just seems like too many.
Maybe an answer can be found in the conditions of their work.

Before the pandemic epidemiologists enjoyed high status, income, career security, and a routine of teaching, publishing and conferences.

A disciplined, challenging, but satisfying and rewarding lifestyle.

I keep wondering what pandemic lesson can be drawn from Vaughan’s 1996 ethnographic account of the loss of the Space Shuttle Challenger?
Vaughan reconstructed the native viewpoint: How did NASA engineers & managers make sense of complex technology not performing as expected?
The Challenger burnt up due to heat erosion on the rocket booster O rings. A known fault. Most explanations suggest managers were too concerned with the schedule and organisational reputation. They pushed for launch to save face, save costs, and save time redesigning the booster.
But if managers cared only for reputation, costs, schedule, why launch the Challenger and risk the entire programme?
They did not see themselves doing wrong. They followed a comprehensive risk management process, measurement, analysis, documents.
Challenger was “acceptable risk."

This is the first study of SARS-2 reinfection.

The risk of at least one sequela at 180 days increased from 135% after one infection, to 211% after two, to 300% after three.

SARS-2 hits you harder each time.

erictopol.substack.com/p/a-reinfectio…
The study is a preprint. Eric Topol: "I have not previously seen any substantive differences from their preprints compared with the final publications."

The median time between infections was: 79 days (1st & 2nd) and 65 days (2nd & 3rd).

Compared to those with one infection, the risk of all-cause mortality for those who were reinfected (i.e. two or more infections) increased by 214%.
