@1goodtern As any professor of religion can totally tell you, all post-acute infection syndromes are totally the same, and the particular virus and its specific modes of infection totally totally don't matter!

@cultured_spice Why wouldn't that be considered a form of "negative eugenics"?

Prof. Klaus Wirth proposes that a substantial subset of Long COVID—the group that clinically resembles ME/CFS—is driven by a vicious cycle involving vascular dysfunction, impaired sodium handling, calcium overload, and ultimately mitochondrial injury.

In his model, exertion does more than temporarily deplete energy reserves. Instead, exercise may trigger abnormal sodium accumulation within muscle cells. Excess sodium then promotes calcium influx, including into mitochondria. Calcium overload is a well-established mechanism of mitochondrial injury in other diseases, and Wirth argues that repeated episodes may progressively impair cellular energy production.

This hypothesis attempts to unify several observations reported in Long COVID and ME/CFS research: orthostatic intolerance, impaired cerebral blood flow, elevated lactate during exercise, post-exertional malaise (PEM), cognitive dysfunction, autonomic abnormalities, and exercise intolerance.

Importantly, this remains a hypothesis—not a proven mechanism—but it offers a biologically plausible framework linking many seemingly disconnected findings.

@haveaconcern Will you be complying with the anti-vaccine program?

@EthanProm36128 @esjesjesj Chatbots will repeat historical patterns. If you want a REAL advanced degree education, you must undertake to work with a proven innovator to make the next generation in the chosen field of inquiry. Chatbots learn from what people do, not the other way around.

@BreakingNewsFi2 @TakethatCt If you are shedding CoV-2, then either (1) you are infected, or (2) are recovering from an infection. If you are infected, being "ill" is implied as a matter of degree.

@redpillb0t As an actor and operative yourself, I can see how you think the rest of the world is just like that. That's your whole act.

@ChrisMurphyCT The worst people in the world are identified by Elon's algo and placed at the top of the feed. Always. They aren't interesting. They aren't popular. They are placed here by the site owner to incite violent hatred.

@TriciaDearborn @1goodtern Exactly! The same with hospitalization. It's the only defensible position I know.

@amoolat4 @PVingaard @JamieAA_Again PCR can "find" something if and only if it is actually present. And the test has to be primed for a specific target.

[Luke Kaven @LukeKaven]

@ChrisWickNews You mean "a disease outbreak was identified and contained as it should have been", right?

I guess as someone who thrives off attention, the truth wouldn't get you as many clicks. But that's how the world is sometimes.

@TeamRealityCT @RobSchneider @HHSGov @TheJusticeDept @EDSecMcMahon @SecKennedy I wouldn't go to any hospital or see any HCW who wasn't vaccinated. It's suicidal. And you're pro killing.

[Luke Kaven @LukeKaven]

@About2SnapUSA @RobSchneider @HHSGov @TheJusticeDept The first shot WAS almost 100% effective. Subsequent years were 1-2 steps behind the dominant variant. Nothing surprising in this. The only victims are antivaccine dupes.

@1goodtern My central dogma of Long Covid since 2021:

(1) Long Covid is any pathology you have that you would NOT have had were it NOT for Covid.

(2) All Covid is "long" as a matter only of degree.

[Luke Kaven @LukeKaven]

@HarrySpoelstra Hard agree.
