3. infection increases heart attack risk by 40%. Any infection can be a burden on the heart. Importantly, this is largely mitigated by immunity. A 40% increase does NOT mean 40% of people will experience this. If it is 1 in 100.000, it will be 1.4.https://t.co/XkYB4p2q4Z
but an inflammation-caused event that can happen after any infection. Immunity will substantially reduce this risk.
8. It undermines point 2, but mild infection can result in substantial immune activation. In some cases, longer-term effects can result. It is not common.
11. Total evil fantasy. Any infection can result in long-term effects. SARS-CoV-2 is no exception. The indicence was increased due to the absence of immunity. Not everyone gets long-flu or long-RSV, or long-EBV, etc, and there will be a small proportion affected by LC. 7/8
The risk of LC is not accumulative, just like the risk of long-flu or long-EBV is not. Small proportions do not make it not awful or unimportant. Blowing it out of proportion undermines it, makes assessments, finding mechanisms and trials harder to do.
This is kind of brilliant. Lauren Boebert’s Democratic political opponent John Padora films campaign ad in the exact same Denver theater seat Boebert got kicked out of for vaping and groping. pic.twitter.com/i1ZJFhk2zm
