Institutional COVID denial has killed public health as we knew it. Prepare to lose several centuries of progress.
I’ve burned a lot of bridges over the past few years and my kids are homeschooled. I no longer have 1st person accounts of COVID’s toll on people’s health. Are people in your life sicker? Are the kids sicker? I need to be re-tethered… please share your stories.

🔥📣 I am thrilled to bring you this fascinating, shocking interview with former CDC Director, Dr. Robert Redfield. 👀 I almost fell off my seat a number of times. 👀

Hold up you’re telling me that by the 3rd time I get COVID, there’s a 1 in 2.5 chance I develop life-changing chronic illness ⁉️⁉️

This is my 15th semester teaching RN and NP students about Covid 19 pathophysiology. Not a lot has changed except for how much damage we now know the virus causes. It still baffles me that people don’t know it’s airborne, don’t know the risks. 1

“Everyone dies someday! Get out and live!”
“‘Everyone dies someday! Get out and live!’
I’ve lost count of how many people have said this to me. People who assume I’m ‘choosing’ to stay home in bed or who think fear of Covid is the only determining factor to my not socializing more.
This is NOT a choice 🧵/1”

“These influencers have neglected their medical duties in favor of personal interests, and together with our healthcare authorities, they have and still are jeopardizing our right to a healthy future. Let it rip is NO strategy, a Vaccine only is NO strategy!”
🧵 I think I have a very unique & valuable perspective when it comes to SARS-CoV-2. I've spent the 1st three years of the pandemic in one of the the busiest hospital based chemistry/bloodgas labs in the US & the last 20 months as a generalist in a medium sized hospital. 1/

If you think Covid is only an issue for people who are older or who have preexisting conditions (who we should care about anyway but I digress!!!) please take a minute to look at these comments from formerly healthy college kids

Dangerous garbage being presented “science writing”. Two *actual* facts surrounding infection:
“Your risk of #LongCOVID, a currently incurable chronic illness, after surviving an acute COVID infection currently sits conservatively at ~6-7%”
No matter how hard people pretend, Covid isn’t over

1/11 SARS-CoV-2 & rapid loss of acquired immunity:
a 🧵 collecting various papers & results leading up to an idea:
rapid waning is

- leading to depletion/exhaustion of

Truth is the ground beneath our feet.
Saying it’s OK to get COVID is quicksand.
Here’s solid ground: “post-acute sequelae of COVID-19…is a multisystemic condition comprising often severe symptoms…[with an] incidence of 10% of infected people.”

Remember: we knew covid and #LongCovid were causing coagulopathy, hypoxia, cardiac events, strokes, vascular damage, kidney damage, damage to the immune system, etc. in 2020 already. Survivors told you so Health bodies and a big part of the medical establishment chose to ignore

Given we know that the risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, renal disease, neuro-cognitive disease and clotting events are increased after COVID, how are these events being recorded & attributed in patients? 🧵

Amazing news - paper in @Nature reporting that SARS-CoV-2 acts like a histone, thus blocking host epigenome.
Translation: DNA in our cells is packaged into chromosomes, and these are held together by histones, which are a kind of protein. Histones have to be unwrapped, then

Covering ICU this week and FYI to whomever needs to hear it: COVID attacks your brain, lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, intestines, immune system, and clogs up your blood vessels like a dirty pipe.
You don’t want it.
Wear a mask. Get Vaccinated.

A new study "found six distinct clusters of #LongCovid patients, each with distinct profiles of phenotypic abnormalities with enrichments in pulmonary, cardiovascular, neuropsychiatric, and constitutional symptoms such as fatigue and fever."
