Today like any other day over the past 5 years I want to draw your attention to the fact that we are witnessing a mass-disabling event with worldwide over 400 million adults, adolescents and children living with #longcovid #myalgicencephalomyelities #postvac and other postinfectious conditions.

"During Omicron predominance, elevated postinfectious risk of T2D (HR, 1.50 [95% CI, 1.06-2.11]) was observed among unvaccinated or partially vaccinated individuals but not among fully vaccinated or boosted individuals."

Keep getting your covid boosters, as long as they're available. Fully vaxxed people have less risk of hospitalization and so, less risk of developing type 2 diabetes as a result of severe infection.
