Covid long term effects [View all]

it is rarely noted by doctors on news programs or the media in general or politicians for that matter, that COVID-19 can have significant short and long term impacts to the human body, even months after you have the disease.
Its always displayed as a big number for "infections" and "deaths" but that's it.

You start telling people that if they get infected, even if they survive the worst short-term issues of lung and heart inflammation that its the long-term impact that will really make them regret getting the disease: from mental illness to losing all your teeth, that there is an often permanent and lifelong challenge to getting this disease that could have been avoided by wearing a mask.

From tweet:

My 12yo just lost an adult front tooth and his other teeth are loose... it turns out from vasculature damage 9 months after Covid.

Omg. PLEASE... I beg of you, take this seriously. For you. For your kids. For everyone.
