Years ago, I realized I was forgetting more than I recalled about the many studies I read that found was NOT just a mild, acute illness but led to chronic health problems. So, I created a spreadsheet to track these studies. Over the last two years or so, I've read significant parts of over 1,500 research studies, and my spreadsheet is approaching 525 reports that demonstrate COVID leaves people with damage to brains, hearts, immune systems, reproductive systems, and other organs. (1/5)

How often do you want to be infected with a virus like that? How often should today's children be infected (and are we confident that kids with ten, 15 or 20 infections by the time they reach adulthood will lead healthy, long lives?)
If you are of the mind that COVID isn't a big threat, I invite you to review my spreadsheet. Click on the Neuro/Brain tab and read about the studies showing significant cognitive deficits, lost IQ, and damage to white matter that COVID infections can cause. (2/5)

Or click on the Cardio tab and read about the increases in deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and other cardiovascular events after COVID infections. Or click on the Reinfections tab and read how Long COVID is more prevalent in people with reinfections or how reinfected patients have a 3x higher risk of asthma, COPD, Interstitial Lung Disease, and lung cancer compared to those with one infection. (3/5)

If you're going to ignore the risks of COVID, shouldn't you first take the time to make an informed decision? I wish the people who were being so blasé about repeated COVID infections would pay more attention. You could be a bit more careful now, or you can wait until you or someone you love has potentially irreversible damage that forever impacts your quality of life. It seems to me a tiny bit of additional caution is well worth the effort.

So, here is the spreadsheet. I defy someone who thinks COVID is just like the flu to spend just ten minutes perusing the findings of these 500+ studies. I don't like scaring people, but people should be more frightened. They don't need to be scared into their homes and never leave, but just as people who wish to avoid injuries in auto accidents wear seatbelts, it's long past time for more to take precautions.

    @augieray Wow, that is a lot of studies and sadly, you know that someone will attempt to refute them because they saw someone give their opinion in some stupid tiktok video. How did the world get so dumb?

    I have discovered the joys of masking and no one can take that away from me. I was on a plane wearing a mask and didn't get sick afterwards. I went for a run while the wildfire were making the air thick with smoke and it was all made possible by a simple mask.

    @augieray Folks in covid denial don't want to read or learn or accept reality. They want to carry on, like covid is over. I don't know how to get through to people like that & stopped trying. I don't have the energy to keep trying to educate with those kinda folks anymore.

    @augieray This sobering collection of studies you put together — and all your assiduous efforts to educate & motivate people to be safe, diligent, & mindful of their own well-being & that of others — are very much appreciated. 😷❤️

    @TheSpindleshay Thanks. I'll correct that. (I forgot I had that on top of each page, and it got formatted with the rest of the column.)

    @augieray
    And this is why people should be fully vaccinated and testing if they believe they have Covid. If you should test positive, then make sure to get Paxlovid if you are eligible because it dramatically works on this virus.

    @augieray
    In all of the research you have read, have you ever come across data to support the assertion that COVID cures arthritis (or any other autoimmune disease)?

    The other day I posted this thread I copied from my Facebook feed. I was flabbergasted that my well-educated friend and her pharmacist husband believe that multiple COVID infections have cured her arthritis. Further flabbergasted that folks in her replies were basically begging to get infected so they, too, could be "cured."

    Is this batshit crazy or is there some support for this?

    @shansterable @augieray Arthritis can go into spontaneous remission, but it always comes back after a while.

    A lot of faith healers prey on this, to claim a miraculous healing.

    Of course, when it comes roaring back in, it's your lack of faith which caused it to reactivate.

    These periods of remission aren't guaranteed or on any schedule, by the way. Some people don't have them at all, and some only very brief ones.

    @shansterable @augieray

    Years before Covid, all my autoimmune pain & symptoms went into remission after a bout of pneumonia so bad I was on a ventilator. My rheumatologist wasn’t surprised, saying “Your immune system is too busy to be chewing on you right now. It’ll come back.” And it did. Getting Covid last year didn’t take it all away again, just added more conditions to the pile.

    Maybe it helped this one person, but anyone actually trying to cure themselves of anything this way is nuts.

    Covid is well documented to -increase- incidence of autoimmune diseases

    augieray,
    @augieray@mastodon.social avatar

    @shansterable I have not seen any evidence COVID cures other diseases. Seems more likely a random remission.

    @augieray @shansterable I like to express this phenomenon in TV terms:

    “Post hoc ergo propter hoc.”

    “I want to believe.”

    @augieray thank you for sharing this, I will - at some point - manage to take a proper look.

    From the briefest of looks the results generally look concerning, have any of the 1500 studies concluded that the "it's just a cold" hypothesis is valid?

    augieray,
    @augieray@mastodon.social avatar

    @SonOfSunTzu I've seen some studies that suggest lesser or more temporary impacts, but 1) Most studies suggest COVID has longer-term adverse affects, and 2) No studies suggest COVID is only a cold. There was a lot of press recently about an unpublished study claiming COVID outcomes were worst for severe flu than severe COVID, but those who've seen that study point to all sorts of biases (such as that the study only evaluated hospitalized patients and ignored Long COVID damage.)

    @augieray Holy wow. That's amazing work, thanks for keeping the receipts. A lot to review, very well done.

    questioningtoknow,

    @augieray Definitely COVID had major impacts on mental health of people, People have become more isolated than ever...

    i_matty_ande,

    @augieray They definitely don’t care that much for you, you should have known of that now
    All they care is their deep state project “Great Reset”
    Conspiracies of a mass reset has been in play, a lot of the elite cabals has been in on it , top elites like Klaus Schwab Unfortunately, the cabal has woven their deception so deeply that many remain blind to it. My concern is that the repercussions of the impending Black Swan event is going to be devastating.
