Please help me understand what people in the west have against masks. People in Asia have been masking these past three years because of a deeper sense of community. A deeper connection to each other. It's a new normal that has kept them sane and healthy. Whar's wrong with that?

Dear doctors who refuse to mask,
You keep on saying you remove your masks so your patients can feel your sincerity and see your smile.
Have you even bothered to ask your patients if they even want to see your smiles in the first place?
"That's not possible."
Those are the same words many experts said when HIV was just starting.
Those are the same words many experts said prior to discovering post viral illnesses.
Those are the same words that were said when oncoviruses and epigenetics were first discovered...
Just a thought. We're now starting 2 see how Covid affects bone. Osteonecrosis. Capillary rarefaction. โฌ๏ธosteoclastic activity. Teeth & prostheses, especially implants, rely highly on bone. W/o proper blood circulation, even bone replacements will be hard 2 use. Think about that.
Was active in relief ops in Samar during Yolanda and yes. It was FILLED w/ flaws and LOTS of politicking. Won't sugar coat it. It was BAD. BUT will also say this. It was a first. So I can't understand why Odette govt relief ops now seem worse when govt should've learned by now.
Prolonged lockdowns suppress immune responses to common respiratory infections that normally kids would have gotten when exposed to them in the community.

It's not normal for teenagers to just collapse and die. As early as 2020, studies have already been setting out red flags on the dangers of post Covid sequelae. What will it take for people to start taking Covid seriously?
Let's get this crystal clear. When a virus persists and stays in you and screws your immune system? No amount of supplements and sunshine and vitamins will fix that.
HIV never followed Immunology 101. This is why it shocked scientists in the 80s who were busy following their textbooks.
Dunno. Maybe it's time for some people to make journal reading a habit. That's Immunology 102.

Funny how people will pull all the stops to attain good health. Buy useless supplements. Engage in exercise. Eat proper (go organic) food. Yet, we won't demand for clean air when it's one of the most crucial things we need to live a healthy life.
It took ten years. Yes, TEN YEARS, before we could fully understand and realize the damage HIV could cause. We're just finding out now about postviral illnesses caused by CMV and EBV. And this is called fact-checking?
Outside of long COVID or very severe cases, most research suggests COVID-19 doesnโt cause lasting damage to the immune system. A few studies have found evidence of some possible damage, but nothing as severe as an immunodeficiency.
Can we please make this clear? Post viral illnesses and conditions do not evolve within weeks or months only. Some may evolve years after the onset of infection. Repeated infection also predisposes a person more and more to developing some post viral condition because ...

It took us approximately 10 years to see what HIV can and cannot do.
We're recently figuring out post viral illnesses from HPV and other oncoviruses.
Brave of you to make blanket statements about Covid being nothing but a mild cold.
Make sure you have a truck for all the beer.
Nakakatawa lang how certain physicians back home are so conscious of their titles, while belittling those who don't share the same title that they do.The word scientist is not exclusive to the medical world. Research is not solely under the realm of medical science either.

About those mice that reached 10 SARS2 infections before dying, keep in mind that those were controlled experiments where the mice were infected with JUST SARS2. IRL, there are deadlier pathogens that the body won't be able to handle with immune dysregulation. Think about that.
Makes no sense. You say we've established immunity against Covid. And yet, you say Covid is like the flu or the common cold. But we haven't established immunity v the common cold or fly. So how can we have established immunity v Covid if Covid acts like the flu or cold?
To worsen the scenario, if bone resorption is proven in long covid, then you'd better look for alternatives to implants and dentures. Without bone support, these will most likely fail.

Looks promising. The spray targets an area of the spike that is conserved (doesn't mutate) so that the region "changes its shape". This change prevents attachment of the virus to the host cell. ๐ค๐ค

It's been established that one of the main targets of SARS2 is the cardiovascular system. It's laughable that, after 4 years, we are still focusing on the lungs and wondering why cases of heart disease and stroke are increasing.
Can we agree on this? At this point where respiratory diseases are becoming more common / more frequent, it isnโt normal nor healthy to have a person sick every 2 weeks. Even every 2 months! Any disease/sickness, even an allergy, if not controlled, can lead to cellular damageโฆ.
So now we have an explanation for this sudden uptick in mycoplasma infections this year. Take note that mycoplasma has been isolated in patients who have recovered from COVID, most probably due to immune dysregulation after a Covid infection.
Interesting to note how spike proteins of SARS2 are able to bind to almost the entire body in mice when infected with the virus. The red dye shows areas of infection. Take note of the difference between the flu virus and SARS2 spike. (It's not the flu!) (2/n)

I have no words to describe the lack of information outside Twitter. This is how much people have been misled and it's heartbreaking to see their reactions when they find out.

Vaccines alone can't prevent long covid. They can lessen risk but not totally prevent it. Signed, someone who was fully vaxxed, boosted, and long covided.
Masking up is a risk/benefit calculation. If youโre young, healthy, up-to-date on your vaccinations and you're not worried about long Covid, it may be reasonable to unmask. But if you're medically vulnerable or around people who are, or worried, you might want to adjust. 2/

A few things to take note of. While I still firmly believe that SARS2 may be oncogenic due to the many mechanisms that point towards oncogenesis, I also believe that discussions should be kept within proper perspective. Increasing cancer rates in younger individuals 1/n
