Grey square image with red heading "increased risk of heart attack & stroke" "After COVID-19, your risk of heart attack or stroke can double - even if your symptoms were mild. This risk can last for months or even years after infection. COVID-19 can also cause inflammation and damage to blood vessels, making them "older" and stiffer, increasing your lifetime risk of heart disease."

Australia's Heart Foundation just launched an info campaign on the harms of COVID to cardiovascular health - good to see!

But current vaccines only reduce risk of heart damage, they do not eliminate it. We need masking, clean indoor air, better prevention & next gen vaccines

Unbelievable.

Very few things piss me off more than anti-vax morons killing their children.

Congratulations on your PhD , this is not a small achievement.
Well done to you.

Yes, but was it used as normal use?

Masking makes sense. SARS-CoV-2 can persist, and new evidence from France shows infected megakaryocytes + platelets — meaning real blood involvement. This virus isn’t just respiratory, and protecting your air protects your blood.

Don’t know anything about viral persistence? Know that it’s the norm👇

I’m sorry I just found out that in 1379, as in, 650 years ago, a baby girl was born in Yorkshire and named Diot Coke

history is a fucking joke lmao

Whenever I read studies
with findings such as:
“Alzheimer Disease Patients
Who Survived COVID-19
Have Rapid Disease Progression
and a Higher Risk of Death
at 5-year Follow-up,”
I am reminded
that none of us have truly
“Survived COVID-19,”
we are still just trying to survive it.

A preview card from Managed Healthcare Executive showing a teal-toned illustration of several 3D SARS-CoV-2 virus particles floating against a green gradient background. Below the image, the headline reads: “COVID-19 may increase the risk of shingles for some, Japanese study finds,” with the author listed as Jared Kaltwasser.

New data from Japan adds evidence that COVID-19 may raise shingles risk.

The findings come from nearly 400,000 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 from 2020–2023, showing a higher incidence of shingles for a full 6 weeks after being infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

A new 5-year study from Brazil shows that surviving COVID-19 can significantly alter the natural course of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).🧵 Patients who had COVID-19 were nearly five times more likely to experience rapid cognitive decline (measured by MMSE). Their memory, orientation, and mental abilities worsened faster than expected for typical AD progression.

COVID-19 is spreading again — how serious is it and what are the symptoms? Limited COVID-19 surveillance data are hampering vaccination and health strategies, researchers say.

Yep. #MaskUp

In an interview
Tom Hanks explained
his mask wearing
by noting “I’ve had Covid
enough in my life,
I don’t need to do that again,”
and he is right, for he knows
“life is like a box of chocolates
you never know
what you’re going to get”
so you should try
not to keep getting Covid.

Australian scientist who alerted world that Covid is airborne wins top science prize Prof Lidia Morawska says recognition of her research comes at a fraught time – an ‘age of anti-science’

Australian scientist who alerted world that COVID is airborne wins top science prize

When the WHO falsely claimed in March 2020 that COVID wasn’t airborne, Professor Lidia Morawska took action—organising 239 scientists worldwide to warn about SARS-CoV-2 airborne spread and urge global recognition.

On the right is a close-up portrait of Mikael Björnson, MD, with short light brown hair and a trimmed beard, looking directly at the camera. A name banner beneath his photo reads “Mikael Björnson, MD – Karolinska Institute.” Below, a headline states “Mikael Björnson, MD, links long COVID and POTS,” with the byline showing his name again.

Mikael Björnson, MD, links long COVID and POTS.

"Nearly 30% of long COVID patients show signs of POTS."

First identified in 2020–21 and later confirmed, this overlap is troubling since long COVID affects up to 50% of unvaccinated hospitalised adults and 10–15% of non-hospitalised cases.

This is a quote-tweet interaction. Maia (@maiamindel) posts that people forget how memory, vision, and endurance can decline in your 30s. Graham Greene Fan (@G_GreeneFan) responds, saying they lived through their thirties before COVID and their health did not suddenly get worse back then. They argue that what many people are feeling now is the impact of multiple COVID infections, not just normal aging.

It’s wild how so many people are gaslit into believing declining health and being sick all the time is just ‘normal’ in your 30s. No. This is what repeated COVID infections do.

There’s an interesting paper on how infection with SC2 is both conferring T cell memory, and reducing T cell receptor diversity… opening up the possibility that response to future infections could be suboptimal…

I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food.

I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

That is a really cool mask!
