Let's be honest. We are a sociopathic society. "In the lab, COVID19 is a Level 3 biohazard (yellow fever, TB). In schools, it's no big deal. I don't think you can reconcile those two." - Colin Furness (infection control epidemiologist). cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…

SARS-CoV-2 causes more damage to your immune system than HIV. Both viruses induced a reduction in B cells and CD4+ T cells, but SARS-CoV-2 infection caused a more severe reduction in total T cells, CD8+ T cells, and NK cells than HIV infection.

SARS-CoV-2 can infect inner ear cells, specifically hair cells and Schwann cells, which are crucial for hearing and balance. Some COVID-19 patients developed hearing loss, tinnitus, and vertigo, suggesting a link between the virus and these symptoms. nih.gov/news-events/ni…

Why are people so sick? Something big changed in 2020. What could it have been? It seems like it's on the tip of my tongue; something that rhymes with Mars.

SAR-CoV-2 damages kids' blood vessels. "Children infected with SARS-CoV-2 show elevated levels of a biomarker tied to blood vessel damage. Many examined children testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 are being diagnosed with thrombotic microangiopathy."

Virtually all children infected with COVID-19 show signs of blood vessel damage, study shows

SARS-CoV-2 can cause a new form of AIDS, leading to increased vulnerability to infections and some tumors. Each infection can age the body and brain, damage blood vessels, and affect various organs. It also increases the risk of psychiatric disorders.
