[COVID zine 7/18]
Last edition, I only emphasized the limitations of COVID vaccines. But now we're in a different (worse) place 🙃
Updated shots do modestly reduce the risk of symptomatic infection (~50% for the following 4 months) and of developing Long COVID! Just not enough to solely rely on.

[Bold, handwritten] Vaccines are important but not sufficient.
Vaccines have significantly reduced hospitalization and death from acute COVID,[34] but they only modestly reduce risk of infection[35] and Long COVID.[36] Antibody levels quickly decline post-shot (or acute infection).[37]
[diagram of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The SARS-CoV-2 virus is covered in spike proteins, and there are circulating antibodies, some of which bind to the spike proteins. There's a human cell covered in ACE2 receptors. When a spike protein binds to an ACE2 receptor, that's cell infection. When an antibody binds to the spike protein, it's blocked from infecting the cell!]
SARS-CoV-2 keeps mutating, with new shapes in the spike protein that evade old antibodies.[38] That's why it's important to get updated shots that are better matched to currently-circulating variants. [39]
[Bold, handwritten text, wrapped around a drawing of hands on a steering wheel] COVID vaccines are like an airbag. Minimizing exposure is like keeping your hands on the wheel.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:twccexjsbh6y2tyhysjrhc2v/bafkreichvctsv7yg5iozsqr3mxlpvizbc7eui5s52y7jz27wjdhtlszjmq@jpeg)

[Bold, handwritten text] COVID is really dangerous.
[Cartoon of a person's circulatory system]
COVID isn't just a respiratory disease. The virus infects the lining of blood vessels,[13] which can damage every organ system, all over the body.[14]
It disrupts the blood-brain barrier. Covid “brain fog”;[15], loss of taste and smell? That's brain damage. [16]
At least 1 in 10 infections cause new, lasting symptoms,[17] aka Long COVID. The more times you get it, the higher the risk.[18]
[bold, handwritten] Causes of Long COVID include:
Persistent Virus[19]
[cartoon of an intestine with viruses in it]
Causes: chronic inflammation, immune system exhaustion.
Microclots[20]
[cartoon a vein with a clot in it]
Cause: tissue hypoxia, stroke, organ failure.
Organ Damage[21]
[cartoon of an anatomical heart]
Causes: heart problems, gray matter loss.
Reactivating other viruses[22]
[cartoon of a virus]
Such as: EBV (mono), other herpresviruses.
Post-exertional malaise (PEM) “crashes,” which may come hours or days after the triggering event, [23], are common in Long COVID.[24] PEM is the hallmark symptom of myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME).
Long COVID resources:

Brain fog, hard to even think.
In pain, feel like you have the flu for months on end.
Have to lay in the dark and quiet.

There are a lot of vested interests[1] in ignoring a simple truth:
[bold, handwritten] COVID is an AIRBORNE disease which is STILL a danger to EVERYONE. But there's so much we can do to prevent it!
If COVID spread by droplets and surfaces, then it could be prevented by handwashing—conveniently, an individual responsibility.
However, study since 2020 has made it clear:
[Bold, handwritten] Many diseases are airborne![2]
Including:
MERS
Measles
COVID
Chickenpox[3]
SARS-1
Common Cold
Flu
RSV
Tuberculosis
THIS IS A HUGE PARADIGM SHIFT.
Airborne transmission means that building owners need to provide clean indoor air, just like clean water.[4] They can't “wash their hands” of COVID.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:twccexjsbh6y2tyhysjrhc2v/bafkreiahdhsuf5ttzofoo4clwijksyuke2vq4mgndrfs7ml4omcakcqttu@jpeg)

[handwritten text, circled by a chain which is breaking on the bottom]
“Every chain of transmission that is broken is VALUABLE. Every person that doesn’t GET SICK, that doesn’t lose that WEEK OF WORK, that doesn’t become DISABLED or DIE, from the minorest of inconveniences, to the GREATEST of losses: every single one of those things is VALUABLE.” -Becca on DEATH PANEL podcast 2/16/23.
