A research group looked at results for over 97,000,000 people, and found

COVID-19 was associated with a 49% increased risk of new-onset autoimmune-related diseases

and flat out:

SARS-CoV-2 infection increases the risk of autoimmune diseases, particularly those affecting vascular and connective tissue. Risk is amplified by severe infection and attenuated by vaccination

and it's hard to imagine a stronger proof - most countries don't have 97 million people in them!

Association between COVID-19 and New-Onset Autoimmune Diseases: Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of 97 Million Individuals - PubMed

SARS-CoV-2 infection may induce long-term immune dysregulation; however, its contribution to the development of autoimmune disease remains disputed. We aim to quantify the relative risk of new-onset autoimmune diseases following COVID-19 and its modifiers through a systematic review and meta-analysi …

Yes, any possible infiltration of Libs into ACT again is appalling. They hsve done so much damage and still could. Totally committed to promoting big business and favoured contractors and dreadful at managing money. You worry about Barr and development, that's nothing to what Libs could influence.

I have always been Labor first Greens second for forty years, and had faith in #ACTLabor because have seen good community/social service provision work from them.

In addition Barr is not perfect but I will never ever forget how he and Rachael Stephen Smith kept #ACT safe & organised through #COVID.

We had the careless hopeless #NSW w Gladys dominated by her idiot Health Minister all around us letting infection spread to Vic and beyond at the very start from cruise ships, funerals and an Eastern suburbs birthday party. The vile #Morrison going off to the footy and trying to appease coffee shops etc.
Our Labor closed borders and locked us down tight and worked v hard w the other Labor led states to stop Morrison opening up too soon, in spite of ridiculous opposition.
#ACTLabor fought for our vaccinations to be supplied and made testing centres available all around city.

If I remember rightly ACT and WA came off lightly icases and fatalities compared w everywhere else.

OK bit of rant but I was v vulnerable and feel strongly about this and won't forget.

Lately #AUKUS and Albo weakness has shaken me to reconsider first allegiance to go Green/Ind.

Greens lost two of best last election, Emma Davidson and Rebecca Vassarotti. They deserve to be reelected and Greens should work on that.
I trust Greens to stand strong on environment and social issues, they have had major good influence on Labor while it was coalition. Shane Rattenbury v good on community housing and brought a lot of balance. I would like to see a good spread of #Labor #Green and #Inds in ACT and not a Lib in sight. Have you all forgotten Kate Carnell?
