I am too angry to write a proper post but wanted to share this in the meantime.
There have been a few studies of this kind in the last couple of years, but they are still preliminary. That cov causes serious long term damage is no surprise. That many diseases will be blamed on viruses because we now have the ability to make a lucrative vaccine also likely.
Getting rid of seniors...well....
but here's some food for thought. If AI replaces highly skilled humans, because theyre now a little stupid, eventually buying power goes down as does the wealth of the wealthy.
Anyway here's the article:

Codex: Good to see you. I'll reply first. May be one of many studies. The post I wanted to write is that many autoimmune diseases may be caused by other dormant viruses. Quite interesting and my hypothesis from years ago.

Codex: *one of many studies I've read*
DeleteShow me a study on autoimmune disease I haven't read, a theory I haven't been told and I will happily go down the next rabbit hole.
DeleteThe potential triggers of a potential genetic predisposition in my case I have been told to date: lengthy childhood diseases and non-robust reactions, miscarriages I experienced and premature birth of my child, food intolerances, exposure to unusual bacterial infection - the latter being the most conclusive one I could follow with lab results etc. At the time I volunteered as a seemingly healthy participant in a study at Trinity Medical School, Dublin where a genetic marker for autoimmune predisposition was found.
Codex: Sorry Sabine, I should have been clearer. I doubt it applies to yours. Right now the focus is on EBV and a few unexplained "syndromes" like fibromyalgia. These were general examples of progress. The virus is sitting there (EBV) so the body keeps attacking it unsuccessfully. I do think a predisposition to overreact (the immune system) is going to be another piece of the puzzle as we saw with Cov. It won't apply to all of them.
DeleteI haven't followed the links yet, but I am not concerned with long covid as I have not had covid in any of its forms and hope to stay that way. I have the same excellent immune system as the rest of my ancestral family and my children are the same. We don't get sick. Unless you count acquired asthma (long exposure to factory fumes and heavy cigarette smoke) and hayfever and that is only me and one daughter.
ReplyDeleteCodex: The article addresses that it may lead to further understanding of dementia.
