The lingering shadow of epidemics: post-acute sequelae across history
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has drawn global attention to post-acute infection syndromes (PAIS), with millions affected by post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC, or Long COVID). While Long COVID is newly ...

What we are seeing now is just the tip of the iceberg. The focus on blaming the vaccines instead of the virus will only continue to make things worse. Condemning a whole generation that has not even born yet.

Thank you @fitterhappieraj.bsky.social for warning the few who listened that even mild COVID infections can cause immune system damage. It’s shameful you had to endure insults & censorship simply for telling the truth & trying to help people.

“I hope the record shows that some of us tried to warn you, not for credit, but because the immune system deserved better stewardship than it received.”

“Excess respiratory illness, rising cancer concerns, unexplained reactivations. These are not abstract. They represent preventable burden born of a refusal to countenance uncomfortable possibilities when they were first raised.”

Nationally, we are seeing an estimated 892,000 new daily SARS-CoV-2 infections, meaning a 1 in 4 chance of exposure in a room of 15 people. Risk varies considerably by state.

We are approaching an average of 5 infections per person since pandemic onset.

I'm old enough to remember when smoking around others was socially acceptable, in restaurants, bars, workplaces etc. Secondhand smoke was everywhere.

We changed norms once we accepted that shared air = shared risk.

Airborne viruses are no different

Repeat after me:

I will wear a N95 respirator as I travel in shared indoor spaces (healthcare facilities, airports, public restrooms, mall, etc)

I will not visit anyone upon feeling ANY symptoms indicating possible infection (e.g., tiredness, headache).

I will test.

Air purifiers are my friend.

"44 countries have seen tenfold increases in at least 13 infectious diseases compared with levels observed before the pandemic. One idea they discuss, known as "immunity theft," proposes that an episode of acute COVID may leave people more susceptible to other infections"

📽️ WATCH: After a bird flu outbreak tore through Midwestern barns, which led to 18 million hens being killed and a spike in egg prices, the Department of Agriculture didn’t investigate whether the virus was airborne.

But ProPublica did.

The article I read did not say the usual “but he had comorbidities”.

So.

I sometimes wonder if non-maskers understand that they aren’t waiting us out to stop, we are waiting them out to start (again).

There are several types of viral infections that can lead to cancer. Some viruses, such as HPV, hijack the host cells of the infected person and insert their viral genetic material into the human genome, which causes the host cell to become cancerous.

Alert: The USDA has detected H5 bird flu in a bobcat in Marion County, Oregon.

Top predators are now contracting a virus designed for birds.

Every mammal infection is a dangerous rehearsal for a strain that could spread without birds at all.
