I am interested in Canadian and world Issues. I am COVID conscious and believe in climate change. I am a retired teacher who is most interested in the opinions of young people especially Gen Z.

The anti vaxxers have come out strong against this article claiming the Covid vaccine has done this. The data says otherwise..

Accelerated Vascular aging is particular to females in this study. Covid infections cause so many issues. Protect yourself! It is very prevalent in the USA right now.
The CARTESIAN study makes the case that COVID-19 has aged our arteries, especially for female adults. The question is whether we can find modifiable targets to prevent this in future surges of infection, and mitigate adverse outcomes in those afflicted with COVID-19-induced vascular ageing.

This instagram post on Long Covid is comprehensive and very troubling. Sam Rhode does meticulous research. There are 20 slides in this presentation. Read them all.

"Our results indicate that respiratory virus infections promote the awakening and expansion of previously seeded dormant cancer cells. This process unfolds in two distinct phases. First, an IL-6-dependent switch of DCCs from a mesenchymal phenotype to a hybrid state promotes expansion. Second, this expansion is followed by a return to quiescence and establishment of CD4+ cell niches that inhibit DCC elimination, partly through the suppression of CD8+ cells"
This article is very technical but outlines very clearly how viral infections can harm women who have had breast cancer.

I had measles when I was 6 years old in the 1950's before vaccines. I was kept in a dark room for fear of blindness. I remember missing weeks of school and being very sick. Vaccines save lives.

Our research group studies blood and the cardiovascular system in inflammatory diseases, as well as post-viral conditions. We focus on coagulation, inflammation and endothelial cells. Endothelial cells make up the inner layer of blood vessels and serve many important functions, like regulating blood clotting, blood vessel dilation and constriction, and inflammation.
Our latest review aims to explain how ME/CFS and long-COVID start and progress, and how symptoms show up in the body and its systems. By pinpointing and explaining the underlying disease mechanisms, we can pave the way for better clinical tools to diagnose and treat people living with ME/CFS and long-COVID.

Now researchers believe that shutting this enzyme down could slam the brakes on metastasis entirely, stopping cancer before it spreads.
It’s not just another incremental step, this could mark the shift from treating cancer to trapping it where it starts.
The fight against cancer may soon have a new frontline weapon, and it all begins with one tiny molecular switch.

I'm really worried for all of us. I want us to be as well as possible and for that to be the case we really gotta stay informed:










(resources compiled by sp0receress and agitpropnabsurdity on IG, I just copied em to share here)
best way to protect yourself is to wear a mask (n95 or kn95) wherever possible and do social events outside if you're not gonna mask. though the latter isn't foolproof, I read a case study of a jogger infecting a bunch of people in a park. it can happen.
