🚨GENERAL REMINDER: YOU ONLY HAVE ONE HEART, TREAT IT WITH RESPECT! Reinfections aren't harmless "boosters", they stack the deck against your HEART, turning one hit into compounding long-term cardiovascular risks. ➡️3 important and recent articles (from 2025–2026) providing the strong evidence that SARS-CoV-2 reinfections increase risks of long COVID, including cardiovascular complications like myocarditis, arrhythmias, heart disease, thromboembolism, and related issues( There're more!!): ➡️1. Long COVID associated with SARS-CoV-2 reinfection among children and adolescents in the omicron era (RECOVER-EHR): a retrospective cohort study. Published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases (2026). This large retrospective study of nearly 500,000 youth found reinfection roughly doubles the risk of long COVID/PASC overall (RR 2.08), with elevated risks for myocarditis (up to 3.6×), arrhythmias, heart disease, thromboembolism, chest pain, and other cardiovascular signs/symptoms, even in vaccinated individuals. thelancet.com/journals/lanin… ➡️2. Long COVID Syndrome Prevalence in 2025 in an Integral Healthcare Consortium in the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona: Persistent and Transient Symptoms. Published in Vaccines (MDPI, 2025). This real-world study showed long COVID prevalence was 3–10 times higher in people with three or more infections vs. one, alongside a post-pandemic doubling of thrombotic events (cardiovascular-related clots) across populations, linking reinfections to worsened persistent symptoms including cardiovascular sequelae. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/article… ➡️3. Cardiovascular damage and comorbidities related to long COVID: pathomechanisms, prevention, and therapy. Published in Physiological Research (2025). This review explicitly states reinfections can trigger de novo long COVID or exacerbate its severity, contributing to persistent cardiovascular risks like heart failure, dysrhythmias, myocardial infarction, and stroke, building on evidence of cumulative damage from repeat SARS-CoV-2 exposures. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/article… ➡️So: 1. Reinfection worsens endothelial dysfunction (already impaired from prior COVID), raising cardiac event risks, especially in those with pre-existing atherosclerosis or CV factors, 2. Repeat infections cumulatively boost long COVID odds, including cardiovascular manifestations (e.g, myocarditis, arrhythmias, heart conditions 3× higher in some cohorts), 3. Studies show 1.35–2× higher long COVID risk after reinfection vs. single infection. One large pediatric analysis found ~2× higher PASC (including heart-related) post-reinfection in Omicron era. 4. Experts note each infection adds damage, accelerating vascular aging, plaque issues, and overall CV burden, even mild cases. The reminder: Reinfections aren't harmless "boosters"—they stack the deck against your heart, turning one hit into compounding long-term cardiovascular risks.

The level of complicity of the @BBC in the ethnic cleansing of southern Lebanon is shocking. I am listening to their Jerusalem correspondent report that the ‘IDF are striking Hezbollah targets’ while I’m on the ground in the middle of it watching men, women and children being killed on a daily basis. My colleagues are being executed. Paramedics are being systematically murdered. All of this is happening in plain sight and the BBC correspondent here in Lebanon knows it. May you all be put on trial for your deadly propaganda when the time comes. Shame on all of you, especially those on the ground who are too cowardly to speak out.
