I'm literally the most covid paranoid person I know in real life. But I need to point out that she's a fiction writer, and she's not directly citing any science articles.
Yes, long covid is bad. My partner has it. Yes as fuck we should be masking, testing, and distancimg. But she may be going a bit too far.
I'm a biologist and she's correct about how covid affects endothelial tissue. IMO, it's 50:50 that (she's going just the right distance):(she's not going far enough)
sorry, I'm posting my hardest. I'm supposed to be documenting some protocols at work but instead I'm splitting my time between being here and getting banned from participating in r/news for dunking on climate deniers
Nah, they're watching hurricanes get more intense every year or two and still manage to bury their heads in enough sand that they can't remember anything related to hurricanes since before katrina (therefore, none of it happened)
There's also a lot of money in climate denial for the rightist grifters, and the rules of most online forums play into the whole, "if I can find a citation, no matter how reputable, my information is at least as truthy as the 5 peer reviewed research papers that contradict everything I proposed" mentality.
There's also no telling what the long term consequences will be until they happen. Polio can cause symptoms 20 years later, what if there's some post polio syndrome? And anecdotally i've heard from a nurse who says she's had tons of post- covid patients show up months after recovery and their lungs are full of clots
I think it's very valid. Long covid is absolute shit and DOES happen after vaccination. Maybe it's a positive perspective from someone outside the scientific community.
Sorry it's a bit knee jerk from me. These days I've become VERY jaded against randos spouting medical opinions. In the worst case, this is much better than nearly all of those.

I always imagined that, at some point, they'd all have to admit the jig was up. I wish I had 2% of their self confidence.

No worries. I am also avoiding work by posting. Trading screen for screen. Thank you for what you’ve shared.
:an-eco-heart:
and thank you too! (and everybody else here!)
This place feels like the last sane forum on the internet

I've definitely read some stories about lung scarring. Scary shit.
Ya I see that.
Has anyone got an idea about long covid? That is a way diffrent mechanism than I had heared peoole talking about before. We got some science on it?
