Alterations in plasma proteome during acute COVID-19 and recovery - Molecular Medicine
“In-depth targeted proteome investigation evidenced substantial changes in plasma protein composition of patients during and recovering from COVID-19, evidencing a wide range of functional pathways induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection. In addition, we show that a subset of acute phase proteins, clotting cascade regulators and lipoproteins could have clinical value as potential predictors of long-term cardiovascular events in COVID-19 convalescents.”

No Amount of Hand-Washing Can Make COVID-19 a Seasonal Virus - WHN
“With regard to COVID, terms such as “seasonal”, “like a cold”, and “like the flu” can be selected by writers to paint a portrait that lulls the reader into a false sense of security, drawing comparisons between a virus that has been around for less than five years to other viruses or conditions with respect to which the audience has grown familiar with. Moreover, even stock photos selected for certain news articles can subtly influence your response to the content expressed in that piece. A selected photo of a person gently cradling a tissue paper over their nose, instead of a person waiting for treatment in the ER, may give off the impression that they are harmlessly recovering from a tear-jerking soap opera instead of from a viral illness. In fact, we want to believe that COVID-19 is as gentle as a cold, as this outcome is far more pleasing, so this skewed presentation of the risk is far more palatable than what is expressed in the scientific literature.”

"The selection of words modulates the message...terms such as “seasonal”, “like a cold”, and “like the flu” can be selected by writers to...lull the reader into a false sense of security... COVID-19 is not primarily a respiratory infection. This virus can cause a systemic disease with far-reaching effects on the body, particularly blood vessels. Once SARS-CoV-2 enters the body, the virus can affect the ...blood vessels, causing inflammation and damage.

Latest paper from Dr Robin Kerr & me: #LongCovid is primarily a Spike protein Induced Thrombotic Vasculitis https://researchsquare.com/article/rs-2939263/v1 Here we proposed that long covid is primarily a spike protein-induced thrombotic vasculitis, & we use Robin as a supporting case study 🧵 #TeamClots
Long-Term Adverse Effects of Mild COVID-19 Disease on Arterial Stiffness, and Systemic and Central Hemodynamics: A Pre-Post Study
Not only does a mild Covid infection cause vascular degeneration and arterial stiffness, but it also appears that both of these conditions are degenerative.
"The longer the period from COVID-19 infection the worse the vascular impairment...."

Blood clots in the heart are common in patients with COVID-19 - Mayo Clinic News Network
"Study shows that COVID-19, unlike other viruses, seems to impact the heart's small blood vessels...Chemical staining tests revealed blood clotting in the small blood vessels of the heart tissue. These fibrous blood clots may remain even after the virus is gone"
