Reheating a Cold Case
Summary
Another debate surrounds the idea that the 1918 pandemic effects reached deep into the second half of the twentieth century, by reducing future attainment for babies in the womb. It compared the health records of 153,760 COVID-19 survivors with pools of historic and current controls (both in excess of 5.5 million individuals) in order to estimate the cardiovascular impacts of the infection. Note that the Veterans study undercores other research suggesting that COVID-19 infection constitutes a greater risk of the cardiac inflammatory conditions (myocarditis and pericarditis) that could rarely follow mRNA vaccination. Such excess cardiac disease risk playing out over the years following the pandemic might not look too dissimilar to the theorised cardiovascular impacts from the 1918 influenza, except here we may have the timely analysis needed to see it coming. Although this study did not consider the specific (and more purely neurological) disorders spiking after 1918, we clearly see that our recent pandemic reached into the brain and increased disease burden in all categories examined.
