A study came out recently that showed a single COVID infection increases your risk of serious cardiovascular events for 3 years post infection.
That’s terrifying - but there’s a bigger discussion being missed.
That finding means a Covid infection makes you a “vulnerable”. 🧵/1

But the others think Covid’s an overblown hoax so even if I say it no one’s gonna listen & it’ll start a fight.
I had covid in Feb 2020 & even with knowing how to rest it took 2yrs to recover. My recovery time is much quicker since getting the vaccines.
For all we know your risk never goes back to where it was before. /2
Most have had it at LEAST three times - and because we aren’t mitigating it at all - are getting it annually (or more) /3
You may be asymptomatic. You may recover quickly. Its still damaging your body in a myriad of ways /5
Wrong again. The study showed that increased cardiovascular risk impacted everyone who had Covid - not JUST the vulnerable.
There’s also decent odds you’re now IN the vulnerable category because you had Covid. /6
What makes someone vulnerable? Pre-existing conditions, old age, compromised immune systems.
When a study finds an increased risk of severe cardiac issues - that means you have a comorbid condition! /7
Even when one is healthy, with no comorbidities, long term, hidden vascular damage by a previous COVID infection from 2+ years ago can cause a heart attack. I am lucky to be alive. I am proof of this😓
So far all my heart test are negative.
