There are now more than half a million scientific publications related to COVID-19 and a rapidly growing body of evidence linking SARS-CoV-2 infection to immune dysregulation, microvascular injury, autonomic dysfunction, clotting abnormalities, viral persistence, and measurable cognitive changes.
And to the people constantly sick, exhausted, dizzy, forgetful, exercise intolerant, waking up to feeling like you got hit by a truck on the daily or suddenly developing strange inflammation, heart issues, GI problems, or āmysteryā symptoms after repeated infectionsā¦
At some point you and society as a whole must confront the reality that repeated infection with a vascular and neurotropic virus was never as harmless as everyone wanted it to be.
I choose to live in reality.
That virus is still here. It is still spreading through the air. And it is still associated with long-term vascular, immune, and neurological consequences for many people.
Protecting yourself from that threat ā through cleaner air, better ventilation, filtration, vaccination, and high-quality masks in high-risk settings ā also reduces your risk from many of the other respiratory pathogens constantly circulating around us.
And if you are tired of watching people suffer while being told this is ānormal,ā then start demanding urgency.
Ask why Long Covid clinics are closing instead of expanding.
Ask why immunologists, virologists, neurologists, vascular scientists, and pathologists are not being funded at Manhattan Project scale to investigate viral persistence, immune dysfunction, clotting, mitochondrial damage, and cognitive impairment.
Ask why billions can appear overnight for almost anything else, but millions living with chronic illness are told to āpace themselvesā and move on.
Support researchers (the ones who are still focused on Long Covid that donāt conflate the disease)
Support clean air initiatives (two strong efforts happening in Illinois right now! Help us!!).
Support disability advocacy.
Pressure institutions to improve indoor air quality.
Stop mocking people for protecting themselves.
And stop accepting āeveryone is sick all the time nowā as a normal feature of modern life.

"But RFK Jr just wants vaccines safety tested. WHY WOULDN'T YOU WANT THAT"
I hear this. often.
Well - they are safety tested. Extensively.
And by him doubting that and lying about that he is using a cheap confidence trick to make you doubt vaccines.
Its nasty and pathetic.

Healthcare workersā¦If your patient is wearing a mask you should too.
When you ask ādo you want me to wear a mask?ā Youāre putting undue burden on your patient
Youāre refusing to acknowledge the imbalance of power that makes us feel uncomfortable saying āyesā
Just wear a mask
@NicHulscher these percentages are completely irrelevant without the base rate.
If the baseline risk is 1/1,00,000, thatās very low. A 610% increase sounds like a lot, but that would only be 6.1 people in 1,000,000 experiencing the condition. Still extremely low considering cost/benefit
