Another fun fact: SARS2 reactivates latent EBV (among other things). So, if you manage to escape the nastier sequelae of EBV during your initial infection, ask yourself how you like your odds in EBV roulette.

Are people aware, on even a small level, how many things are triggered by Epstein-Barr Virus? Lupus, T1DM, Sjogren's, MS, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Hashimoto's, Grave's, celiac, and more. This concept isn't new. And SARS-2 has a broader impact with more potent immune activation.

As the high-profile heart attack deaths continue, remember: “The spikes in heart attack deaths have tracked with surges of COVID infection—even during Omicron…The data showed the increase was most significant among individuals ages 25-44…”

New data analysis from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai found that deaths from heart attacks rose significantly during pandemic surges, including the COVID-19 Omicron surges, overall...

Wear a mask, ideally a well fitted respirator like an N95. RFK Jr has gutted the CDC. There’s no plan to deal with another pandemic. No one is coming to save you. Masking is an act of resistance and radical community care.

I suffered organ damage from Covid. People be like: 💉“It’s vaccines!” ❌ No. I had Covid in March 2020. Pre vaccines 👵“You were old or unhealthy!” ❌ No. I was 39, fit & healthy, with no health issues 🙄“It’s rare!” ❌ Over 400 million cases globally. So far. #LongCovid

“Covid knocks out key parts of your immune response for months — interferon signalling, mucosal defences, the whole first-line barrier. When you layer RSV on top of that, the illness gets heavier. We’re just beginning to see how big that vulnerability window really is.” Backing

I think getting RSV after you've had Covid is worse for people than we have fully realised yet. Bookmark this one.

Private equity is looting our malls, doctors' offices, and nursing homes. Heck, you name it, and private equity has probably already bought it. Their scheme spares no one. I’m fighting to stop it.

We’re five years into the pandemic, and the science is telling a very different story than “just a cold.” COVID affects blood vessels, organs, metabolism, and cognition — and the impacts compound with each infection. It’s the same pattern we saw with smoking: people felt fine…

Nobody has Long COVID, but everybody has brain fog, cognitive decline and memory loss. I talk about the overwhelming scientific evidence that COVID damages the brain, and the overwhelming social unwillingness to acknowledge it in my latest: https://t.co/BghgCOOc16

If you’re struggling with Long Covid, MCAS, POTS or other energy limiting chronic illness… I’ve put together a series of guides to try and help. These conditions are poorly understood and more often than not we end up learning from our fellow patients. Mega 🧵 of resources

A massive new peer-reviewed review (161 studies, 2+ million patients) makes it clear. COVID-19 isn’t just a respiratory infection. It’s a multi-system disease leaving lasting scars on lungs, heart, brain, kidneys, and more.🧵

Heading into the grocery store, mask goes on. Period, the end. Am I tired of this? Yes. Do I like wearing a mask? Nope. Does that change my behaviour? Also Nope. Why? Because this was never about what I ‘felt’ like doing. Head up. Shoulders back. Deep breath. Onward.

Masks are under serious threat at being banned widely due to politicization. This would be a public health disaster. If you’re only wearing a mask at protests, please consider wearing them elsewhere. The more people mask, the more we normalize masks and protect them against bans.

In recent months, a growing number of robust scientific studies have confirmed that even mild SARS-CoV-2 infection is not biologically neutral in children. Two new studies reveal surprising depth of impact - metabolically and immunologically.🧵
