Huge Impact of New Primate Study: Long COVID Is More Prevalent Than Previously Thought: 60-90% Prevalence...
While overt symptoms appeared relatively mild, exposure to COVID may lead to chronic health impacts that, in some cases, may become apparent only years later.

In humams: ">>30% of individuals who contract COVID-19 will go on to develop a long COVID-19 condition and experience long-lasting symptoms, persistent cognitive complaints."
Based on self-reporting, we anticipate an (large) underestimation.

"Why SARS-CoV-2 Remains the Most Dangerous Virus All Time."
And, Q: "Was COVID-19 made to be this dangerous?"
A: Maybe yes, maybe no...
2\🧵
...so, probably most important Q. of this enormous pandemic.
However, as these natural experiments are difficult to control, synthetic GoF research/animal vaccine development, via serial passage, bear the risk to produce a highly transmissible, i.e. dangerous, virus.

In that case the answer "maybe yes/no" is not relevant.
So, Q. should have been:
"Is the hard to control transmission of serial passage/COVID-variant development worth the risk?

1.🚨 "Research-related incident is the most probable origin of SARS-CoV-2."
"Accidents are a constant risk and, without extreme precaution, inevitable."
