Years ago, I realized I was forgetting more than I recalled about the many studies I read that found #COVID19 was NOT just a mild, acute illness but led to chronic health problems. So, I created a spreadsheet to track these studies. Over the last two years or so, I've read significant parts of over 1,500 research studies, and my spreadsheet is approaching 525 reports that demonstrate COVID leaves people with damage to brains, hearts, immune systems, reproductive systems, and other organs.

How often do you want to be infected with a virus like that? How often should today's children be infected (and are we confident that kids with ten, 15 or 20 infections by the time they reach adulthood will lead healthy, long lives?)
If you are of the mind that COVID isn't a big threat, I invite you to review my spreadsheet. Click on the Neuro/Brain tab and read about the studies showing significant cognitive deficits, lost IQ, and damage to white matter that COVID infections can cause. (2/5)

Or click on the Cardio tab and read about the increases in deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and other cardiovascular events after COVID infections. Or click on the Reinfections tab and read how Long COVID is more prevalent in people with reinfections or how reinfected patients have a 3x higher risk of asthma, COPD, Interstitial Lung Disease, and lung cancer compared to those with one infection.

If you're going to ignore the risks of COVID, shouldn't you first take the time to make an informed decision? I wish the people who were being so blasé about repeated COVID infections would pay more attention. You could be a bit more careful now, or you can wait until you or someone you love has potentially irreversible damage that forever impacts your quality of life. It seems to me a tiny bit of additional caution is well worth the effort.

So, here is the spreadsheet. I defy someone who thinks COVID is just like the flu to spend just ten minutes perusing the findings of these 500+ studies. I don't like scaring people, but people should be more frightened. They don't need to be scared into their homes and never leave, but just as people who wish to avoid injuries in auto accidents wear seatbelts, it's long past time for more to take #COVID19 precautions.

@augieray at this point I feel like encouraging people to do accurate risk assessments is akin to getting those guys that never wash their hands after pissing to wash their hands.

They just end up sick, and probably dead by 50, but they'll just never wash their hands.

Just like trying to get folks that are prone to preventable death to lay off the red meat.

@piratero @augieray just sympathizing, as I’ve provided details for folks in why they should be wary of things, but it’s rare for them to heed such details.

Then I deal with stats and specifically risk probability and getting humans to gauge actual risk, seems that’ll never happen.

Show threadPirateRoMar 26, 2024
@adron @augieray it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t speak out. Silence makes you complicit. At the very least state you do not agree. It’s not that you’ll change everyone’s mind, but you might just change one. Or, at least, raise enough questions some may choose to learn more.

@piratero @augieray I never stop, I’ve just got zero expectation people will make decisions based on evidence or probability of risk. The data has taught me not to be optimistic about humans gauging risk.
Show threadMichael WeissMar 26, 2024
@adron @piratero @augieray as a species, humans are terrible at assessing risk. This is especially true as the latency grows between the actions and consequences.

@mweiss @adron @augieray I dunno. If we were that bad, I think we’d have been excreted from the anus of another creature long before this. Evolution is a harsh mistress.

@augieray Folks in covid denial don't want to read or learn or accept reality. They want to carry on, like covid is over. I don't know how to get through to people like that & stopped trying. I don't have the energy to keep trying to educate with those kinda folks anymore.

@augieray whoa - what a tremendous job putting all of this together! Thank you.
Unfortunately, many who need to see this, won’t. And if they do, they will find reason to be doubtful or dismissive. 😔

@augieray Really appreciate your concerted effort to compile these results! If you haven’t already done so, I’d offer this dataset and future contributions to public health aligned professors at your local colleges.

With that praise, I do think there’s some opportunities to develop it into a more effective reference, much of which ChatGPT can help with:
- Study Details incl. type, # of partp, etc.
- Strain Location, date, classification (if available)
- Inbound citation count

@augieray thank you for sharing this, I will - at some point - manage to take a proper look.

From the briefest of looks the results generally look concerning, have any of the 1500 studies concluded that the "it's just a cold" hypothesis is valid?

Show threadAugie RayMar 26, 2024
@SonOfSunTzu I've seen some studies that suggest lesser or more temporary impacts, but 1) Most studies suggest COVID has longer-term adverse affects, and 2) No studies suggest COVID is only a cold. There was a lot of press recently about an unpublished study claiming COVID outcomes were worst for severe flu than severe COVID, but those who've seen that study point to all sorts of biases (such as that the study only evaluated hospitalized patients and ignored Long COVID damage.)

And this is why people should be fully vaccinated and testing if they believe they have Covid. If you should test positive, then make sure to get Paxlovid if you are eligible because it dramatically works on this virus.

@augieray They definitely don’t care that much for you, you should have known of that now
All they care is their deep state project “Great Reset”
Conspiracies of a mass reset has been in play, a lot of the elite cabals has been in on it , top elites like Klaus Schwab Unfortunately, the cabal has woven their deception so deeply that many remain blind to it. My concern is that the repercussions of the impending Black Swan event is going to be devastating.
