Tldr: Każdy jest zagrożony COVIDem, bo każdy może mieć long COVID, jest dużo niewiadomych na temat COVIDa, ale to co wiemy wyraźnie pokazuje że infekcja może mieć długotrwałe negatywne skutki dla prawie wszystkich organów ludzkich jak i układu odpornościowego. Twierdzenie że “COVID jest teraz łagodny” po prostu i zwyczajnie nie ma nic wspólnego z rzeczywistością.

“It is in fact difficult to know which subgroups of the population have low risks of adverse consequences from breakthrough infection or reinfection, nor is it established that such subgroups exist, to begin with. People of all ages can develop debilitating Long COVID following SARS-CoV-2 infection, even after vaccination2-4. Current evidence suggests infected adults and children are at greater risk of new onset diabetes5-7, adults are at increased risk of cardiac problems8,9 and the long-term impact on children’s cardio-vascular health is uncertain10. In addition, people can experience kidney injury11,12, liver damage13, erectile dysfunction14,15, hearing loss16-19, immune dysfunction20-23, brain and memory dysfunction24, ocular damage25,26 and dermatological complications27,28. In fact there are few organs that SARS-CoV-2 can’t harm, largely because COVID-19 is a vascular disease29-31 with immune-mediated severity impacting multiple organs32,33. SARS-CoV-2 is an airborne virus that is transmitted via the respiratory system34, but the disease it causes is not localized to the respiratory tract35 with its multi-organ, multi-system impacts stemming from its vascular nature, the associated immune perturbation, and other systemic effects. (…) SARS-CoV-2 has been with us for three years. We are still learning how the virus affects human health, but there is already overwhelming and clear evidence it can have lasting impacts on almost every organ as well as the immune system.”
