How it does not protect the vulnerable
X 5-day isolation policy
X Only 6% of immunocompromised Americans have received Evusheld prevention
X The “Community” level metric is contrived and deceptive
X “Fully vaccinated” should = 3 shots; 4 shots for age 50+

Has the @CDCgov warned you about BA.5, now accounting for ~37% of Covid cases, a liability for reinfections, less protection from vaccines and monoclonals, risk of #LongCovid?
No. But it should have.
Why?

Many previous #LongCovid studies have documented auto-antibodies and persistent virus via biopsy. I don’t only post studies that people like, but rather those in high quality journals likely to receive attention.

The benefit of vaccination to prevent #LongCovid is supported by many studies, ~50% reduction. But what about vax after having Covid? A new @BMJ_latest report suggests there is some (albeit smaller) reduction, especially with 2 doses. No controls

Please do everything you can to protect yourself.
I just got a message from a friend whose husband is sick in spite of four shots (!!).
I am most concerned abt #LongCovid which is VERY COMMON after “mild” infection.

Genuinely flabbergasted at how so many people are failing to grasp that we are living through the largest mass disabling event in modern history & it seems like very few policy makers are taking note or preparing for the inevitable collapse of an entire workforce.
