Covid-19 has been linked to cardiovascular complications, but the long-term impacts, particularly for mild infections, are not well understood. A study in Nature Communications demonstrate an increased risk of cardiovascular disease after Covid-19, also among mild cases. #medsky #cardiosky 🧪
Covid-19 and cardiovascular disease in a total population-study of long-term effects, social factors and Covid-19-vaccination - Nature Communications
Covid-19 has been linked to cardiovascular complications, but the long-term impacts, particularly for mild infections, are not well understood. Here, the authors investigate the long-term impacts of Covid-19 on cardiovascular disease using data on the whole population of Sweden aged 40-75 years.

Quick warning: A paper published by @royalsocietypublishing.org on mortality by State in Germany found that "the higher the vaccination rate, the higher the increase in excess in pandemic yr 3 vs 2"
The paper suspects vaccines as a cause... without a word on the huge flu wave that hit DE in yr 3 🙄

Let me show how useless the conclusion of UK's covid inquiry is that "UK should have locked down 1 wk earlier"
Here the report of GOV UK of 10/3/2020:
- 373 cases, flatish
- 6 deaths
Is that the threshold to close 5d later next time (and take the full societal and economic hit)?

I find the conclusion line of UK's covid inquiry poor
- "be more prudent next time" has zero actionable value
- Rationale put forward relies on counterfactuals and does not include that measures only delay never avoid
However, most of the report's critique is equally poor

So far, nobody has been able to unequivocally rule out a link
(among others, it claims that the large studies showing no link - all done outside the US - are not applicable to the US because of vax schedule differences)

I read both in the US and in DE: "we had a pandemic plan, why the hell did we not stick to it ?!?"
I went through both plans: Neither includes any impact sizing on mortality
A plan without impact sizing is not a plan but a Kinder surprise egg: You may like the surprise... or not

Sigh... "Could vaccines have caused big excess in England?" is brought up again by a British newspaper
So here is how excess looks like vs expected from pre-pandemic mortality trend once you account for covid, flu & heat
So the answer is known: "No the vaccines could not"

Interestingly, the "in hospital" data (stopped end of 2023) never showed the "lows" of the other indicators

Covid is now clearly on a downward path in England too
(I remain full of admiration if this were to be the result of dark forces faking the presence of virus: Remember, this requires to phase the peaks with 7 days between cases, admissions and deaths and this across the whole health sector!)

I am perplexed by this major new study of NHS England data among children on multiple accounts
a) It writes "risk is higher 12 months after infx than 4wks after vax" without showing that this comparison is meaningful (ie risk 12m after infx is linked to infx, not vax)

Mechanisms of sex differences in acute and long COVID sequelae in mice
While males are more likely to suffer severe outcomes during acute COVID-19, a greater proportion of females develop post-acute sequalae of COVID-19 (PASC) despite similar rates of infection. To identify mechanisms of PASC, mice were infected with SARS-CoV-2 and viral, inflammatory, and behavioral outcomes were evaluated through 84 days post infection. Sex differences were not observed in virus replication or persistence of viral RNA in pulmonary or extrapulmonary tissues in acute or PASC phases. Following recovery from infection, female mice exhibited persistent neurocognitive and behavioral impairments, along with greater frequencies of inflammatory myeloid subsets, neuroinflammation, and dysregulated T cell subsets, including Tregs. Sex differences in inflammation and cognitive phenotypes during PASC were mediated by the presence of two X chromosomes. XX animals independent of chromosome Y presented with neuroinflammation and PASC along with infection-induced upregulation of the X-linked genes Xist and Tlr7 that regulate inflammation and chronic disease outcomes.
