FORGET ABOUT #MASKS & #COVID19
let's talk about masks & #Influenza
#Flu & #COVID19 symptoms are so similar, it's why we need rapid testing.
not only that: both can cause CARDIOVASCULAR and NEUROLOGICAL damage.
yet we know of #LongCovid thanks to the FB/Twitter #LongCovid study groups tracking symptoms.
who is to say #Fibromyalgia or "general chronic Pain" aren't #LongFlu?
what if it's been downplayed to avoid restructuring work around social distancing & health care for all?

Research has been done on ME/CFS triggered by flu virus, as well as other viruses like SARS or EBV.

"Chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) is associated with pandemic influenza infection, but not with an adjuvanted pandemic influenza vaccine"
