Don’t think at protocol supports that yet, bud.

No you’re trying to get people to send you money and sound like some kind of medical expert off the back of a Master of Arts degree.

Unlike people only reading the headline I know the study it’s reporting on had a tiny group of second infections that didn’t match well with the single-infection group.

But I do know how to share links to studies instead of screenshots from Twitter.

Also I’m not the one with Venmo in my bio and “MA” pasted inexplicably after my display name.

My man you don’t even understand the difference between “mild COVID can cause post-acute symptoms” and “mild COVID is just as likely to cause post-acute symptoms as severe COVID.”

No it’s merely one you (for whatever reason) don’t like.

What are those models? What’s that study? Are they controlling for incidence of infection over time? Is the conclusion of the article the same as what the person is saying in the tweet you screenshotted? Do you even care?

The article was published this year and studies the exact topic we are talking about.

You have a screenshot of tweet talking about incidence over time, not between severity group.

Just for example:

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39917335/
Viral Burden and Illness Severity During Acute SARS-CoV-2 Infection Predict Persistent Long COVID Symptoms - PubMed
The strong association with initial disease suggests a decreasing prevalence of long COVID as acute illnesses become milder. However, many contemporary patients still experience high viral burden with...

They made an assertion. It’s an assertion that ignores nearly every study that’s compared the incidence of post-acute symptoms between groups by severity of illness.

That’s not explaining.

David Manning @dlmanning.bsky.social · 21h
Saying that mild COVID can have sequelae does not imply that severe illness is not MORE likely to result in sequelae.

If you’re unaware of this then you’re just not actually reading literature on the topic behind the titles and abstracts.

I did answer the question as best I could. I’ve literally never seen a study that didn’t show an increased incidence of sequelae by disease severity if it compared across that category.
dlmanning.bsky.social
David Manning @dlmanning.bsky.social · 22h
I believe most viral infections come with the potential for post-acute sequelae and that those complications are more common after severe illness / when the virus is novel to the immune system.
dlmanning.bsky.social
David Manning @dlmanning.bsky.social · 22h
Yes
dlmanning.bsky.social
David Manning @dlmanning.bsky.social · 23h
The question of what sort of post-acute sequelae are associated with SARS2 infection and how the incidence of those sequelae is moderated over time by a more mature immune response is very obviously different from the question of whether the virus is real.

You’re making an irrational claim.
dlmanning.bsky.social
David Manning @dlmanning.bsky.social · 23h
That’s a different question than whether COVID is real, isn’t it?

And he absolutely responded to someone’s else’s question on the issue. Maybe unblock him and read it.

Not sure why one would follow Mark if one did not believe COVID is real.

What? Obviously. What strawman are you trying argue with?

I think it’s easily the best current model for codegen, but I still have a problem with it wandering off in undesirable directions and charging things I don’t want it to.

Yes but 30% of respondents and 36% of parents said it was “probably true.”

If your goal is to sway bystanders coming out swinging with “you probably have COVID-induced brain damage because of typos lol” ain’t it.

And at the same time January 2020 was like maybe a year ago.
