Hacker News finally cares about long COVID.

Cool. Only took them years of ignoring every post I made until this one.

Read the comments. People are hurting.

We Protected Our Children By Homeschooling During COVID, And The Science Proves We Were Right

I’ve had it with the gaslighting.

For years, those of us who chose to homeschool during the pandemic were labeled paranoid. Overprotective. Helicopter parents overreacting to what everyone insisted was “a cold” for kids.

Now the studies have come in. And guess what? We were right all along.

The data is brutal and vindicating. Children who catch COVID more than once face double the risk of long COVID. Their chance of myocarditis jumps 3.6 times higher than kids with just one infection. They’re developing kidney damage, brain issues, and symptoms in practically every organ system researchers have bothered to check.

Scientists analyzed blood cells from people with COVID-19, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer’s.

Using deep learning, they found shared immune genes like XIST and HLA-DRB5 that may link COVID-19 inflammation to long-term neurodegeneration.
