First wavers w/Long Covid are dying of things that look a lot like early AIDS deaths, with immune system panels showing similar dysfunction, and I don't see a SINGLE major news outlet making the connection or asking questions.
Meanwhile, the new CDC director talks about Barbie.
SARS-CoV-2 and HIV-1: So Different yet so Alike. Immune Response at the Cellular and Molecular Level
I really try hard to not be a doomer. But as a first waver, it's really cool how I might just drop dead from "unknown" causes soon. I found a life, love, more love, and it'll all be ripped away from me because our society doesn't care about people.
I'll be surprised to live to 40. I would be very pleased to live to 60.
It's even worse that there's a high chance my death won't be considered covid-19/longcovid related.
The massive downplaying and memory holing of this virus and disease is downright sociopathic.
I used to believe humans were ultimately good because at large we cared about each other. Pandemic has dashed these naive notions.
