Authorities that institute regulations regarding COVID-19 and it's variants have more and more reasons for the regulations. Liberty takes a backseat when there is a maiming and deadly virus that has launched into a global pandemic.
There is proof that points to brain damage to people that have suffered with the virus. The reason for this finding was known at the time of the pandemic when surgeons were finding blood clots in the brain that continued to spawn even as surgery to remove the clot was being performed.
It was learned early on the virus was causing blood clots and many of them microscopic in size, thus effecting the smallest of blood vessels resulting in COVID TOES. What was happening in macro diagnosis was a result of what was occurring microscopically. The capillaries were destroyed by tiny blook clots and resulting in blood circulation problems and pooling of blood in places like the toes.
There is now proof that the tiny blood clots resulting from the infection of COVID-19 also causes heart problems. That also was evident early on, especially in New York City where chest pain was being reported so frequently the ambulances and emergency rooms could not keep up. The heart blood vessels are small and a clot can do a lot of damage.

The following is a summary of some recent studies on COVID-19. (click here) They include research that warrants further study to corroborate the findings and that has yet to be certified by peer review.
Risk of new heart problems much higher after COVID recovery
Long after recovery from COVID-19, people face significantly higher risks for new heart problems, a large study has found.
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs compared rates of new cardiovascular problems in 153,760 individuals infected with the coronavirus before vaccines were available, 5.6 million people who did not catch the virus, and another 5.9 million people whose data was collected before the pandemic. An average of one year after their recovery from the acute phase of the infection, the COVID-19 survivors had a 63% higher risk for heart attack, a 69% higher risk for problematic irregular heart rhythm, a 52% higher risk of stroke, a 72% higher risk of heart failure, and a nearly three times higher risk of a potentially fatal blood clot in the lungs compared with the other two groups, according to a report published on Monday in Nature Medicine. The elevated risks among former COVID-19 patients were evident in young and old, Blacks and whites, males and females, people with and without diabetes and with and without kidney disease, as well as smokers and nonsmokers, said Ziyad Al-Aly of the VA St. Louis Health Care System and Washington University in St. Louis.
The risks were high even in people who had mild COVID-19 and did not need to be hospitalized for it, he noted in a Twitter thread. "It really spared no one," Al-Aly told Reuters. "People with COVID-19 should pay attention to their health and seek medical care if they experience symptoms like chest pain, chest pressure, palpitation, swelling in the legs, etc."...This study compared SIDE EFFECTS OF A COVID-19 infection to millions of other patients. These are not minor findings. The most common side effect of the mRNA vaccines is a sore arm at injection site.
The authorities ELECTED to office in the USA and Canada have a responsibility to citizens and not to demonstrators. There are far more citizens than demonstrators. I imagine feeling exhilarated at the idea of protesting and finding friends and being among others that want to change the path of government findings and policies is a welcome change after two years, but, the protests are irrelevant.
Democratic liberty takes a back seat to insults to the human body. Findings of "Layman Quackery" in Supreme Court prove politics overtaking science. The entire idea of staging a mass spreading event in demostrations against a virus is a waste of time and only complicates the country's future.
The inconvenience of shutdowns in car and truck production by major manufacturers is not going to cause the virus to go away. Shutting down major traffic routes at the Canadian-US border is not achieving liberty, it is causing a mass spreading event.
...Omicron's route into cells helps explain symptom profile
The Omicron variant's method of infecting cells is different from the mechanism most often used by earlier SARS-CoV-2 variants, which could help explain Omicron's milder symptom profile, a study published in Nature suggests.
Earlier variants use the ACE2 protein on cell surfaces and an enzyme called TMPRSS2 to fuse themselves to the cell membrane and inject their genetic material inside. Omicron prefers to enter cells by creating tiny sacs in the cell membrane called endosomes that cells use to transport materials internally, researchers found. Omicron still attaches itself to ACE2 proteins, but it does not need help from TMPRSS2. In fact, Omicron multiplies most readily in tissues where TMPRSS2 is scarce, such as the nose. In the lungs, where TMPRSS2 is plentiful, Omicron has spread less effectively and caused less damage than earlier variants.
The findings help explain "why the disease is less severe and causes less pneumonia" with Omicron, said Dr. Ravindra Gupta of the Cambridge Institute of Therapeutic Immunology and Infectious Diseases in the UK. Gupta also noted that drugs targeting TMPRSS2, such as camostat mesylate, a pancreatitis treatment that has shown some benefit in COVID-19 patients, may be less useful with Omicron....
Never should a democratic government ever lean into minimalizing regulations to benefit their politics in relation to human wellness. Government needs to follow the science not because it is popular, but, because it is the best and moral route. I don't recall a time since COVID-19, even with vaccines and a booster on board, that I went without a mask into an indoor facility like a gym or mall willing to expose myself to what others may have brought with them to damage my wellness.
This pandemic is not over. The side effects of BEING INFECTED is certainly not over.
