Other endemic viruses that don’t show up in the historical control group? What definition of endemic are you thinking of?
- nwiswell 5y agoLike I just emphasized, they may not show up as statistically significant because A) they are not pandemic, so the effect is of course much smaller B) their impact is not necessarily primarily cardiovascular Here's a non-exhaustive list of viruses with potentially overlooked sequelae. Shingles (herpes zoster) Rubella Rotavirus RSV Norovirus HPV Hepatitis Influenza This is totally orthogonal to any possible defects in this study, which again I am not taking any stance on. It's merely a question of whether this study is anomalous for having been conducted in the first place. If we assume that the study is flawless, that means that COVID has long term health impacts -- fine -- but do we actually know if that's unusual for a virus?
