One thing I do know is that I was an autoimmune patient. Past tense as I started masking in 2020, have dodged respiratory infections, & am now ANA negative. My rheumatologist & I are seeing if that state holds.

It's getting to be that time of year again. 5.8 million kids with Long COVID here in the US as reported in 2024. How many more lives are people willing to ruin because of a pack of ghouls said it was okay? It's nauseating.

Adults live in denial about what theyโre doing to their own kids.
Everybody ready for school to start? Let's see how many more millions of children we can ruin the lives of by pretending that a nasty virus is not a big deal.

Even more sickening is that the propagandists behind the lack of mitigations within schools were literally promoted to the highest positions of power over our public health system in the US. I remember their prattling on about how kids aren't harmed by COVID.
Ghouls. Absolute ghouls.
Toddlers with long covid, truly dystopian. This is the new normal only if we allow it to be. Or we can all fight for clean air and better vaccine access. www.iflscience.com/first-of-its...
