When you become irreversibly unwell due to repeated COVID infections they will say…
“Well we did tell you to take personal responsibility for your health.”
“We did write guidance to ventilate and wear masks*.”
“You were told about long COVID.”
None of this is role modelled by leadership.

The more I think about subclinical infection conferring immune “strength” the more it doesn’t make sense.
Previous studies used to support the hybrid immunity theory also showed that the reduction in death and hospitalisation was related to the severity of the first infection.->
There’s also data showing that the group that have the least symptomatic infections… healthy kids… also had a large proportion that did not make a strong immune response in terms of antibodies…

Ok… spent last night in ED again (cat 2 injury, not me) and oh boy did the waiting room look like fun.
50% coughing and fevers with surgical masks on. Other 50% vomiting (so no masks on).
What do you suppose the air soup would have contained?
Oh, and waiting room was full… while in the background the dulcet tones of MET codes being called.

Interesting…
I’ve not been saying HIV and covid are the same…but we do make antibodies to HIV. One could say that those exposed to it have immunity of sorts… and in fact it is that balance between host and virus that prevents AIDS appearing for months or years after initial infection. ->
@FriedmanJas So “widespread immunity” is not actually a difference between these viruses.
We looked at the mechanisms of C19 disease and concluded in 2020/2021 that we could expect more : 🧵
Heart disease
Aneurysms
Alzheimers
Parkinson’s and other neurodegenerative diseases like
Protein misfolding diseases
Peripheral nerve diseases (including autonomic nerves)
Lung fibrosis
Autoimmune diseases including T1DM

“It’s great now we have herd immunity to COVID…”
“I’m afraid herd immunity to COVID is impossible, and every time you get infected again you pay a price with your health. No “something for nothing” in this world.”
“Oh.”

Further news from the golf club…
Should wind up a few people… 😂
Lake balls are no longer being sold as people don’t buy them… because they are worried about C19. (As a scientist, I must say I have not tested lake balls for the presence of viable SC2).
New version of airborne virus, that’s for sure.
“Fore!”

Well, we all know what would happen if aliens invaded now.
At least 25% would think it was a hoax.

“Together, our results indicate that in addition to pneumocytes, SARS-CoV-2 also directly infects mature vascular endothelial cells in vivo and ex vivo, which may contribute to cardiovascular complications in SARS-CoV-2 infection, including multipleorgan failure”

“People at higher risk for severe Covid complications, such as the elderly, people with weak immune systems and pregnant women, may need to take additional precautions.”
Like what? X-prem babies should wear a respirator? Elderly person with finger joints fused together with arthritis should battle alone with baggy loose masks?

So.
We told you that COVID messes with the immune system. There is evidence of direct infection in fact.
Dear “live with COVID without respirators and clean air” experts.
You were wrong.
You are wrong.
You are being proven more wrong every day.
More and more people are realising you are and were wrong.
People are living poorer, lonelier, shorter, harder lives because of your pro disease position.
It hasn’t helped vaccine uptake to say disease trains your immune system either (pro-tip, disease isn’t training, it’s the real battle).

Antibodies waning and return to baseline, with remaining memory immune cells used to be called…
*recovery*.

“We didn’t know it would do that.”
Will be no defence.
If you don’t know, #DontPlayWithSARS
We didn’t know it would harm your unborn child.

@1goodtern My grandmother’s generation… lived in a village community.
Multiple small buildings… that had open doorways. Mosquito netting hanging.
If sickness broke out, the building with the disease was isolated. ->
@1goodtern Cause of illness was often unknown, but all transmission routes were isolated quite effectively except for the most stubborn airborne ones that can transmit outdoors. Smallpox for example.

Conspiratorial whisper…
“It’s terrible… people don’t know… it’s not a respiratory virus! It’s a vascular virus! My daughter has had it four times, and the last time it ruined two of her heart valves. She is only 40yrs old.”
