Why Covid could be to blame for the rise in deadly meningitis, according to scientists - and the early symptoms of the disease that patients must act on trib.al/XW4xOX8

Endothelial dysfunction and metabolic biomarkers in post-COVID-19 syndrome 🚨A nightmare study for many! FOR EVERYBODY: 9 months after your COVID-19, your blood vessels are STILL damaged, with probably biomarkers to prove it! 1. Study design: German prospective cohort (n=262 adults) compared blood biomarkers ~37 weeks post-SARS-CoV-2 infection (PCS patients + recovered) versus uninfected controls. 2. Endothelial dysfunction: - Soluble thrombomodulin (sTM) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), two established markers of endothelial (blood-vessel) damage, were significantly elevated in the combined infected group (UOC PCS + LIFE Cov+) versus never-infected controls. - So, previously infected individuals had significantly higher soluble thrombomodulin (TM) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), independent of PCS diagnosis or fatigue severity. - Critically, there were no significant differences between the PCS group and the LIFE Cov+ group for these markers. 3. Metabolic disruption: - Clear alterations in arginine biosynthesis and taurine/hypotaurine pathways, indicating impaired nitric-oxide (NO) metabolism with reduced L-arginine and taurine levels. →In plain terms: the vascular damage signal was just as strong in the symptom-free recovered people as in those still suffering from fatigue and other PCS complaints. The same held for the metabolic disruptions (impaired arginine biosynthesis and taurine/hypotaurine pathways linked to nitric-oxide production). 4. Fatigue-specific signal: - High-fatigue PCS patients (top MFI-20 quartile) showed elevated linoleic acid (LA) plus monounsaturated fatty acids oleic (OA) and palmitoleic (PA). →The fatty-acid signature specific to high-fatigue PCS adds a potential severity marker. 5. Notes: - Changes persisted already up to 9 months after infection. - PCS remains symptom-based, but these markers offer objective, measurable signals of underlying vascular and metabolic damage! -The discussion and results treat the observed endothelial and metabolic changes as consequences of a single infection and do not speculate on additive damage from subsequent exposures. - Limitations well noted. ‼️So, COVID-19 leaves detectable, objective blood-vessel and metabolic damage in the bloodstream nearly a year later, even if you feel completely fine and never had Long COVID symptoms. Specific fatty-acid spikes flag severe post-COVID fatigue. The “it’s all in your head” narrative for many post-covid people is directly contradicted by these biomarkers! These findings, solidly backed by prior 2021–2025 evidence, prove that COVID-19 inflicts measurable, persistent endothelial and nitric-oxide metabolic damage up to nearly a year later, even in fully symptom-free survivors, thereby supporting the implementation of routine biomarker screening, but even more importantly: #AvoidSars2 #AvoidReinfections.

I am realizing more and more how unusual, unscientific, unmedical, and counterproductive it is for WHO to select the name #COVID19 and reject SARS2. In fact it would be most consistent with medical practice to just call it SARS. Here's why... (1/n)
