Medical trauma survivor. Left for dead by a system that promised care. I write from the wreckage. I speak for the silenced. Capitalism kills. #hEDS #LongCovid

Why would the predatory capitalist ruling class WANT a population of citizens damaged by repeat waves of infection? There are actually a LOT of reasons this benefits them. Buckle up. 👇 1/9 1. Healthcare and Big Pharma profits
Through the years, health outcomes have improved. But healthy folks don't drive profits for the medical industry. Sick patients, especially those with chronic illness dependent on medications, DO. 2/9

People are largely fine? My family went into this pandemic healthy. Let me tell you how we're doing now. This is going to be a thread.
1/8 Image 2/8 Husband and I, former gym rats, both have LC and neuropathy. I have disabling autonomic neuropathy. I'd list all the ways that impacts me but it would be a whole 'nother thread. Husband and younger kid both have aortic damage (they're not biologically related).

Covid is not a “single issue” 1

Every 4 Covid deaths = 1 US child loses a parent/caregiver

Healthcare staff shortages risk ALL patient lives

MILLIONS of newly disabled folks are entering a system that was already failing to meet needs

Life expectancy ⬇️

Domestic violence ⬆️ Covid is not a “single issue” 2

4 million workers are out of workforce from #LongCovid

#Hospitals are unsafe for EVERYONE who needs them

Opportunistic infections ⬆️ due to #immune damage

Many #vulnerable folks are into year 4 of isolation

#Schools are even more unsafe

nbcnews.com/health/health-… Takeaways: (1/2)

* If you've survived #Covid you should have some protection from reinfection, hospitalization, death for 10 mos. (Good time to get medical/dental visits done.) NO GUARANTEES.

*Infection is NOT the preferred path to protection.

*#LongCovid can affect anyone.

"StOp LiViNg In FeAr!" 🧵
As I sit here having just been through the most terrifying autoimmune flare of my life due to the chaos #COVID has hurled my immune system into, I really wish I COULD stop living in fear. Thing is, fearing the thing that caused this is NORMAL.
#LongCovid I would LOVE to be able to visit a doctor, dentist, grocery store, bank, pharmacy, etc. without fearing it may result in many more months of - or possibly permanent - chronic illness. Or worse.

But no. Y'all need to look at each others' mouths.

1/ Secondhand cigarette smoke causes chronic illness & death in non-smokers who are exposed. It was subsequently determined that the right to breathe clean air trumps the right to partake in disease-causing behavior in most public spaces.
#COVIDisAirborne #COVID19 2/ Covid causes chronic illness & death. This is well-known and documented and yet our government has decided that clean, safe air is not important, including for children and the most vulnerable among us.
