Dr Rae Duncan is a well known, respected cardiologist and long covid researcher. She drew my attention to this paper, easy to read and understand.

Covid is picked up through the respiratory system since it is primarily airborne but once it enters your body it appears that it can cause significant damage to your blood vessels and hence damages many other parts of the body.

We need to read and understand the implications of this.

Separately to this article, Dr Rae Duncan has put up a number of YouTube videos worth watching regarding covid, long covid, and the impact on all of us. It's definitely worth watching if you haven't already.

In this Future Leader #Review, Nidhi Yadunandanan Nair and colleagues discuss how endothelial #actin structures and actin-mediated force generation coordinate the multi-step angiogenic process:

"There is limited reendothelialization at the injured site within 1 month of balloon angioplasty while extensive reendothelialization occurs between 1 and 5 months. Reendothelialization is typically completed 5 months after PTCA."

I am so weary and on the verge of tears reading this.

A novel study we contributed to provides the first detailed analysis of 3D #chromatin organisation changes during the development of #endothelium, and how they correlate with gene expression regulations. The study also compares these dynamics with those we previously reported for #cardiomyocytes. Kudos Kris and Katie for spearheading this work! #UW #ISCRM #4DNucleome

@Unclebrain
I am aware #endothelium
Blood vessels are everywhere

I texted him specifically to let him know not to do cardio

Building awareness is a process
Overwhelming people w/ info doesn’t always work & some people need to come to understanding on their own.. I trust he will get there

I knew since day 1 about it affecting the kidneys via experiencing it; no tests needed but it reminded me of the time I food poisoned myself & I had people close to me suffer pre-#pandemic #CKD

Is #Novavax after 2 #mRNA shots a miracle cure? No, it isn’t. BUT if you put other #NPI #mitigations in place, will it help you take in more #viralInhalationDose before you get sick? #Anecdote #IMHO yes, I believe it does & the #science seems to back it up too

I’m still what the entire🌎would call #absurd in my caution, but when there’s an #endothelium destroying #airborneVirus #SARS2 floating out there, is there such a thing? #AirbornePrecautions #begBorrowSteal #vaccine

"The endothelium is a vertebrate specific specialization of the circulatory system that enabled a critical new level of vasoregulation. The evolutionary origin of these endothelial cells is unclear. We hypothesized that Mir-126, an endothelial cell-specific microRNA may be informative."
