Another massive holy cow huge piece of news, so this will probably get about ten likes and disappear into the twitterhole:

CDC say this: "the virus that causes COVID-19, can have lasting effects on nearly every organ and organ system of the body weeks, months, and potentially years after infection"

How the fuck is this not news everywhere?

Problem is "emerging evidence suggests". Not hard evidence. This will take a few more years to ascertain.

@morgun @DenisCOVIDinfoguy I dunno, the numbers are pretty damning - there was a paper not long ago, a survey based on I think the US Navy medical records database [CORRECTION: US Department of Veterans Affairs’ national healthcare database], and the correlation between number of Covid infections and increased likelihood of sequelae in organ systems all over the shop, not to mention early death, was pretty clear. I get that correlation doesn't necessarily mean causation, but even so.

A new analysis using US Department of Veterans Affairs databases showed that reinfection is associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality, hospitalization and a wide range of long COVID complications in individuals who have had SARS-CoV-2 compared to those with no reinfection.
