Many problems are caused by the inflammation that comes with all viruses, not just Covid. This is becoming much more widely accepted and studied. Which means people who do not trust vaccines and such, like flu shots, are taking much bigger health risks than they imagine.
Isn’t COVID uniquely rough bc it can bind to receptors damn near anywhere in the body (causing all sorts of random problems) and viral reservoirs that haven’t cleared lead to chronic inflammation? Asking as someone who just got over their first bout and would love reassurance more than anything
No, not as unique as people might like. Doctors have long known that viruses can cause inflammation that leads to disease, but Covid, created a perfect storm, affecting so many organs, that more money is being focused on the role of inflammation. Unfortunately that effort will be harmed by Tr cuts
