I follow Dr. Alice (@calirunnerdoc) on X (or Twitter if you prefer). She is a cardiologist and Long Covid patient advocate. I believe she has LC. She has about 24K followers on X. I have seen several twitter strings about people who had Covid/LC and now have cancer. One lady who did not have any tumors before Covid now has many tumors in many locations including head/neck, colorectal, and breast. Dr. Alice linked the article below for that lady to read. It is a review of the mechanisms being studied to investigate how Covid can promote cancers.
Perhaps CYDY does not have the money and/or expertise to pursue Covid/LC, but they may wind up treating the cancers which result from Covid. I find that ironic and I hope that some company (a partner?) will pursue Covid/LC.
Here is the link and some of the abstract from the article Dr. Alice referenced. Note the use of the term “Cytokine Storm.”
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10202899/
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has shown diverse life-threatening effects, most of which are considered short-term. In addition to its short-term effects, which has claimed many millions of lives since 2019, the long-term complications of this virus are still under investigation. Similar to many oncogenic viruses, it has been hypothesized that SARS-CoV-2 employs various strategies to cause cancer in different organs. These include leveraging the renin angiotensin system, altering tumor suppressing pathways by means of its nonstructural proteins, and triggering inflammatory cascades by enhancing cytokine production in the form of a “cytokine storm” paving the way for the emergence of cancer stem cells in target organs. Since infection with SARS-CoV-2 occurs in several organs either directly or indirectly, it is expected that cancer stem cells may develop in multiple organs.
