I'd propose a general blood work of the population. Low grade, health-quality degradation of immune responses, and blood infections might be a global issue in the years to come.
They neither established any protocol to test the aftermath of "mild cases" as a baseline nor monitor those infected.

Bloodstream infections: A hidden crisis within the COVID-19 pandemic.

Bloodstream infections were present in 8.2% of COVID-19 patients globally, with the prevalence rising to 12.5% among ICU patients. Even more concerning, pediatric cases showed a 10.8% prevalence.

Those of us living with complex chronic illness have been screaming about eugenics since the “rush back to normal”.

Once people heard that Covid was “only a risk to the vulnerable” they couldn’t wait to drop precautions.

That’s eugenics.

The vulnerable matter too.

Also, it’s a risk to everyone

It’s really disheartening to see people who admit this regime is doing eugenics fail to understand the ways in which chronically ill, disabled, and immunocompromised people are just absolutely fucked by Long Covid

This is a fantastic article I encourage everyone to read.

The damaging effects of COVID on our immune system are not up for debate.

It’s not hypothetical.

And it’s not limited to “only the vulnerable”.

This is why many of us mask. Respirators like an N95 do a great job preventing covid.

What’s so frustrating about Long COVID is after you go out for a little mild to moderate activity, you’re slammed with marathon-level fatigue - and I know this because I ran the Portland Marathon. A rare snow day in Portland today was very brief for me. #LongCovidisYourWorstNightmare

I'm on record as not liking the "airborne AIDS" metaphor for various reasons, but I'm also on record that I think SARS-CoV-2 very well may cause immunity theft.

lastly, a common rebuttal to contaminant reporting is that there are unavoidable levels of lead in lots of foods. some context:

taking just one serving of one of the powders we tested would expose you to 45% more lead than the average american gets from everything they eat/drink in a day combined

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

According to a new study
by Yale researchers

to be driving a large number
of work absences,
which is an important reminder
that it is not the case
that people are “quiet quitting,”
rather it’s the case
that this virus just won’t quit.
