Increase in risk in cardiovascular events now up to 3 years after covid infection. I guess I won't be stopping the nattokinase any time soon.
From Ruth Ann Crystal, MD:
"Three years after COVID infection, adults had an increased risk of all major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events including heart attack, stroke, heart failure, atrial fibrillation and myopericarditis with an odds ratio of 1.73."
“Unlike immunity to influenza .., prior immunity to #SarsCoV2 … doesn’t inhibit later vaccine responses. Rather, it promotes the development of broadly inhibitory antibodies …. people who were repeatedly vaccinated for #COVID19 — initially receiving shots aimed at the original variant, followed by boosters and updated vaccines targeting variants — generated antibodies capable of neutralizing a wide range of SARS-CoV-2 variants and … some distantly related coronaviruses” https://medicine.wustl.edu/news/repeat-covid-19-vaccinations-elicit-antibodies-that-neutralize-variants-other-viruses/
(pay wall)
"Parents of children with #longCovid claim they have been accused of faking or exaggerating their child’s illness, leading to social services’ involvement and... court cases and the threat of the child’s removal from the home."
"Children with #LC have a reduced VO2 peak […], abnormal cardiovascular efficiency (VO2/HR% pred), pathological VE/VCO slope […], and abnormally reduced slope of VO2 work" "48% of the LC patients had a suspicious phenotype for pulmonary hypertension."
The evidence that covid can dysregulate the immune system is — at this point — extensive, though not well-publicized. A close eye on covid-related subreddits will reveal — with surprising frequency — posts asking about, or describing, anecdotal experiences with this. Here are over a dozen:
Das der Abwärtstrend nicht ewig weitergehen konnte war ja klar, leider entfernen wir uns jetzt wieder vom niedrigen Niveau - die nächste Welle nimmt seit einigen Wochen Fahrt auf, unsere temporäre Immunität lässt offenbar mal wieder nach:
Some good health news: an effective, universal vaccine will likely be developed for #Covid:
"The first pan-coronavirus ("universal") vaccine Phase 1 clinical trial results are encouraging for eliciting broad sarbecovirus, #SARSCoV2 variant immune response.
We haven't seen this in people before:
Individuals vaccinated with SpFN/ALFQ had robust
cell-mediated and antibody responses against multiple clade 1 sarbecoviruses."

#Pürner dreht völlig frei und seine Impfschwubel-Fans sind begeistert:
Für die Zielgruppe des verantwortungslosen #BSW Bhakdisten sind diejenigen, die eine Kochsalzlösung statt eines #Covid19-Impfstoffes injiziert haben, Helden und sollten das Bundesverdienstkreuz erhalten.
"Herein, we describe the clinical case of an immunosuppressed host in whom inadequate treatment resulted in highly diverse SARS-CoV-2 mutations that threatened the patient’s health due to the development of drug-resistant variants."
Das ist ja sehr merkwürdig. Seit wir eine hochansteckende Infektionskrankheit ungeschützt durchlaufen lassen, die zumindest für einige Monate (wenn nicht viel länger) anfälliger für andere Krankheiten macht, haben wir Rekordkrankenstände bei jüngeren Menschen? 🤔
Das muss diese Faulheit der GenZ sein. Sofort Leistungen kürzen 👍
Study confirms critical importance of ventilation & maintaining low CO2 concentrations [indoors] for mitigating disease transmission. As CO2 concentration increases, time respiratory viruses remain infectious in the air increases. @adamhfinn@ukhadds et al https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-47777-5#Sec2
'To be clear, the rapid early decay in infectivity of aerosolized #SARSCoV2 reported here, as well as previously, does not contradict the consensus opinion that airborne transmission prevails as the dominant mode of transmission.' @adamhfinn@ukhadds et al
#IDMastadon#publichealth There is the reason to #maskup😷 and Why we should keep 😷 on in the enclose environment ? In the new study show ambient CO2 affects how long #SARSCoV2 remains infectious in air & even subtle increases in CO2 affects both how long #COVIDisAirborne and transmission risk @ukhadds .
Ambient #CarbonDioxide concentration correlates with #SARSCoV2 aerostability and infection risk | Nature Communications https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-47777-5 “We show here that a significant increase in SARS-CoV-2 #aerostability results from a moderate increase in the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration (e.g. 800 ppm), an effect that is more marked than that observed for changes in relative humidity.

Excellent analysis by Prof Christina Pagel of the latest Long Covid ONS data from England and Scotland.
ONS estimates that about 1.1 million people over 3 years old in England and Scotland are living with Long Covid for at least 12 weeks, representing just under 2% of the whole population.
Of those who currently have Long Covid (>12 weeks) , over 50% have had it for over 2 years, and over 80% for over a year.
It remains a serious issue.
"Between Jan 3 and April 28, 2023, 317 tissue samples were collected from 225 patients. [...] Our findings suggest that residual SARS-CoV-2 can persist in patients who have recovered from mild COVID-19 and that there is a significant association between viral persistence and long COVID symptoms."
#IDMastodon#publichealth@medrxivpreprint
wastewater-based #epidemiology has been widely applied in many countries and regions for monitoring #COVID19 transmission in the population through testing #SARSCoV2 in wastewater. several studies that have collected paired longitudinal respiratory & fecal samples demonstrated prolonged fecal shedding and higher #viralload in feces compared to the paired respiratory samples collected at the same time period .
This suggests that #SARSCoV2 infection of the GI tract persists longer than in the respiratory tract and the GI tract excretes more viruses than the respiratory Tract
“tissue samples from 225 patients who had recovered from mild #COVID19 and found that #SARSCoV2 viral RNA was distributed across ten distinct solid tissues, plasma, and blood cells up to 4 months after infection. Importantly, detection of #viralRNA, and higher virus copy numbers, were significantly associated with post-COVID-19 condition (also known as #longCOVID)” https://mastodon.social/@ChristosArgyrop/112320370153243988
Dr Barnden and his team at Griffith University & the University of Queensland have recently published new findings showing increased neurochemical levels in the brains of people with ME/CFS & #longCOVID
