Austrian researchers identify persistent immune protein as biomarker for complications of Long COVID-19 PTX-3 has been identified as a biomarker for tissue damage, immune activation, and post-infection issues, offering insight into Long COVID and ME/CFS biological mechanisms. archive.li/WB5AE

Screenshot of a Labmate Online article titled “Austrian researchers identify persistent immune protein as biomarker for complications of Long COVID-19.” The subheading explains that researchers at the Medical University of Vienna found the immune molecule pentraxin 3 (PTX3) remains elevated in patients months after severe COVID-19 infection, suggesting it could serve as a biomarker for long-term tissue damage, immune activation, and post-viral complications such as Long COVID.

Below the text is an image showing a scientist wearing a mask and lab attire, examining a tray of samples in front of a computer displaying bright, microscopic images of cells labeled PTX3 in blue, purple, and orange tones.

The entire responsibility of handling Covid was offloaded on to the individual and they were told to “assess your own personal risk”, while simultaneously NOT informing the individual of actual risk - such as unseen, cumulative vascular and neurological damage, risk of long covid in kids, etc.

Defaulting to surgical masks in health care settings in 2025 is one of the most dissapointing examples of reluctance to change despite overwhelming evidence. Even defaulting to KN95 style would significantly increase protection of the most vulnerable. Infuriating inertia in the HC industry.

Exactly this — vaccines help prevent hospitalisation and death, but they don’t stop infection or transmission. That’s why masking is still so important. 😷 Source: x.com/TaylorLorenz...

The post shows a tweet from journalist Taylor Lorenz responding to a tweet by David Moscrop. Moscrop mentions getting his annual flu and COVID shots, noting it should reduce illness and transmission. Lorenz replies, emphasizing that current COVID vaccines do not significantly prevent infection or transmission, warning that some vaccinated people may take more risks believing they’re fully protected. She adds that vaccines help prevent severe outcomes and death, but urges people to wear masks to stop infecting others.
