"Long-term effects of COVID-19 infection on BONE MINERAL DENSITY" jogh.org/2024/jogh-14-0…
I've recently discussed sudden behavioral issues in school aged children w/ parents and teachers. In most cases, this followed the kids being sick. Reminder: COVID can cause increased anxiety, aggression, and defiance in children. mecp.springeropen.com/articles/10.11… ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

This indicates, as some researchers have been saying all along only to be silenced by those who preferred vibes over science, that the virus that causes covid can trigger an ongoing process of immune system harm way beyond the acute stage onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
Everyone should know this. Everyone. It should be plastered on billboards and bus shelters and newspaper front pages and advert breaks: "COVID-19 leads to long-term changes in the immune system" Excellent article. 🚨 news-medical.net/news/20240715/…
Bit of a change of topic, but let's talk about cancer. What causes cancer? We learned in high school that it's mutations in oncogenes- "cancer is not one disease, it's many different diseases, each driven by a different oncogenic mutation." (1/)
A lot of people say a lot of things about COVID transmission risk. But what do the heavyweight experts in airborne infection and transmission control, who were in the game long before COVID, say? It’s not what you’d expect. A 🧵.
COVID-19 will never be like the Flu. Never. At least not for the brain. I would love to be wrong; please prove me wrong with evidence and real science! It is quite simple. #SARSCoV2 can access the brain using several different mechanisms that Influenza cannot. A: Viral…

COVID + THE BRAIN 🧠 There’s been a flurry of new studies published in recent weeks about Covid’s detrimental impact on the brain. This is the aspect of Covid which concerns me most, but which many people seem to be blissfully unaware of. So let’s dig into what we know… 🧵
