Scientists Just Connected the Dots Between Viruses and… Everything -- we need to rethink everything we thought we knew about getting sick.rachel.fast.ai/posts/2025-10-0…
Most people catch many viruses in their lives– for example, over 90% of adults have Epstein-Barr virus, and adults catch the flu about once every 5 years. For a long time, catching frequent viruses was considered both inevitable and harmless. But it turns out that common, seemingly-mild viruses have disturbing long-term health impacts.Common respiratory viruses increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Viruses are linked to dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease. They can re-awaken cancer cells in patients whose cancer was previously in remission. Persistent infections accelerate aging and undermine longevity. Viruses can be the trigger that kicks off life-long autoimmune diseases. New studies come out each week confirming that viruses can harm the health of your heart, blood vessels, brain, nervous system, and gut.
Please pause and let this sink in. If we were to truly internalize this information, there would be massive shifts in the practice of medicine, scientific research, and public policy.

A Study of 500,000 Medical Records Linked Viruses With Alzheimer's Again And Againsciencealert.com/a-study-of-50…
The impact of viral infections on the brain persisted for up to 15 years in some cases. And there were no instances where exposure to viruses was protective.Around 80 percent of the viruses implicated in brain diseases were considered 'neurotrophic', which means they could cross the blood-brain barrier.

Size distribution and viral RNA load of influenza virus-laden airborne particles emitted from pigs over the course of an H1N1 infection
nature.com/articles/s41598-025…In this study, we used pigs as a model for the airborne transmission of influenza A virus (IAV) and we quantified nasal shedding, viral RNA load of airborne particles emitted from pigs experimentally infected with a swine-origin H1N1 IAV, and characterized the size distribution of the virus-laden particles generated from infected pigs over the course of infection. We found that the peak of nasal shedding and airborne IAV-laden particles across multiple size ranges took place at 2 days post inoculation (DPI), with higher viral RNA load found in larger particles. The amount of airborne IAV emitted by infected pigs over the course of infection in particles > 8 μm was significantly higher than that in particles between 0.22 and 1.7 μm. These findings help understand the risk of airborne transmission of IAV in pigs and provide information to help control airborne infections more effectively.

I wish I’d know all this when I was younger, and that there were tools available to avoid viruses, and I would have done things very differently
