Children are 72% more likely to develop type 1 diabetes in the 6 months after a COVID infection. The virus can damage insulin-producing cells directly through ACE2 receptors, or trigger the immune system to destroy them. mdpi.com/2073-4409/10/12/359…

COVID also causes lymphocytopenia: deficiency of T and B cells. This is different than the lymphocytopenia HIV causes, which is strictly CD4 deficiency. My CD4 T cells and CD19 B cells became deficient after COVID. They've been restored by mAbs and antivirals, but treatment has to be ongoing, or I relapse. I call this COVID Acquired Immune Deficiency, or CoV-AIDS. I've had Long Covid since March 2020. Likely this includes chronic infection. Lymphocytopenia was noted on my first ER visit, about 3 weeks into my first COVID infection. I did not have T or B cell deficiency prior to COVID.

Again, COVID is not AIDS. But the shared patterns of T cell exhaustion, viral persistence, chronic inflammation are very real, and they're why HIV immunologists are now actively studying Long COVID. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3774…

Too much long wavelength light may impede electron transfer! That’s what our video on our preprint explains. And this paper by Ma et al. is a tour de force when it comes to understanding electron transfer, and the electron transport chain we believe. It’s Marcus theory It is a major portion of our hypothesis, and it shows that the very phenomenon that we are discussing occurs outside of the mitochondria. Our hypothesis is that this very same situation occurs inside the mitochondria and is explained in our video. piped.video/ID5k4G3ogqM?is=PRy0… Ma Z, Lin Z, Lawrence CM, Rubtsov IV, Antoniou P, Skourtis SS, Zhang P, Beratan DN.

There is a REASON China is using repurposed HIV drugs for Covid. Azvudine blows Paxlovid out of the water in every study. It protects the thymus when Paxlovid does not. Since it’s an old drug & won’t make billions of dollars, we are forbidden from accessing it.
Replying to @LauraMiers
As western LongCovid patients quietly swap stories about bloodwork that look like they have advanced AIDS, For the last year & a half or so, China has been giving HIV drugs to adults with Covid. Western countries have not, & the clock is ticking. scmp.com/news/china/science/…

A brief history of how ME/CFS ended up stigmatised and underfunded for decades. It wasn't an accident. In 1970, two psychiatrists reviewed the case notes from the 1955 Royal Free Hospital outbreak in London and concluded it was mass hysteria. They didn't interview a single patient, but the idea that ME was psychological became the default view in medicine from then on. In the UK, psychiatrists Simon Wessely, Michael Sharpe and Peter White developed this into the "illness beliefs" model, where a virus might trigger the illness but deconditioning and unhelpful beliefs keep people sick. They had huge influence over funding and policy, sitting on MRC panels and advising NICE and the DWP, and Sharpe and White also advised disability insurers. Much of the UK's ME research funding went into their trials, and their diagnostic criteria only required six months of fatigue, so the trials were full of people who didn't have ME. The largest was PACE, which cost £5M and was published in 2011 as proof that CBT and graded exercise worked. It became the basis for NHS treatment. PACE had disingenuously loosened its recovery criteria partway through the trial, but still claimed success. A patient, Alem Matthees, took them to tribunal and got the data released in 2016. Under the original criteria, recovery fell from 22% to around 7%, and there was little change on objective measures like walking distance or return to work. CBT and graded exercise didn't work. NICE didn't remove graded exercise until 2021. In the US, the CDC dismissed the 1984 Lake Tahoe outbreak, named the illness "chronic fatigue syndrome" in 1988, and the media called it "yuppie flu." In the late 90s, auditors found that of around $23M Congress gave the CDC for CFS research, about $13M had been quietly diverted to other programs and misreported. The NIH then spent roughly $ 5-6M a year on ME/CFS for decades, some of which also went to CBT, exercise and psychological research, and a chunk to university overheads, making it one of the lowest-funded diseases relative to how many people it affects. The CDC recommended CBT and graded exercise until 2017. Most of Europe either followed the UK model or ignored the disease entirely. Germany did both, treating it as psychosomatic while barely funding research. Long COVID has started to change this, because millions of previously healthy people developed the same illness at the same time and it became much harder to dismiss. Germany has now committed €500M over ten years, and biomedical research is consistently finding immune, neurological and autoantibody changes in ME/CFS patients. All psychological intervention studies failed and when we finally started looking at physiological mechanisms, we have found hundreds of alterations. The psychiatrists responsible for the history of ME have millions of deaths on their hands and are largely to blame for the modern stigmatisation of patients. Thankfully that won’t continue much longer, I expect we will finally have breakthroughs in the next years now the shift is made.

Look. I genuinely don't think that all of these increases are all caused just by covid infection. But why do people deny the connection *so hard*? Even though the science proves that covid infection can make these problems more likely??

🚨 BREAKING: Ukraine carried out a massive operation to bring food to starving people in occupied Oleshky. 4,000 kg of food. 100 locations. Delivered by Ukrainian drones. I can’t read this without tears. People in my country were dying from hunger, trapped under occupation - and our defenders found a way to reach them from the sky. Today, Ukrainian drones carried life🥹

NAC (n-acetylcysteine) almost completely prevents obesity in study, without changing calories. At a standard human equivalent dose (~2g/day) NAC: ◇ Reduced body weight on a fattening diet ◇ Improved insulin sensitivity ◇ Reduced adipose inflammation ◇ Prevented fatty liver ◇ Altered fat metabolism genes (increases in CPT, PG1α, UCPs, reductions in CD36, PPARγ) The ROS ➜ inflammation ➜ obesity cycle is real. This is not to say you'll take NAC and notice weight loss - these studies are administered for the human equivalent of 10+ years.
N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) is potent anti-aging medicine. It extends lifespan, lowers inflammation, improves metabolism and even sexual function. Let's cover the numerous benefits, the science and how you can implement it:

russians are pulling forces from other parts of the front to try and stop 3rd corps, they cant. now watch the hammer fall at another part of the front. there are too many rested AFU units and too many exhausted russian units. any mobilization would be stupid on Russia's part. it would take 4-6 months to get the troops to the front if they wanted to train them in any way. the well is dry for troops with any training. the callup would be of people that never did national service and dont even know how to hold a rifle. throwing 2-300,000 green drafted meat cubes to face the combined ukraine military (currently the best combat fighting force in the world) would be national suicide.

Most importantly, so many known areas of study are missing: gut/gut integrity, coagulation/endothelial damage, complement, herpesvirus panels, persistent antigen, IFN-β, cortisol & testosterone, kynurenine/tryptophan, T cell exhaustion. Very confusing why they're not on here! 4/
