 ==== COVID-19 and Autoimmune Health ====
 Autoimmune disorders and immunodeficiency might be described as the "primary COVID-19 correlate and comorbidity", but is strangely underdiscussed by [[public health]] officials and the [[mainstream media]].
+==== COVID-19 and Blood Clots ====
+It has been noted that blood clotting is associated with worse outcomes for COVID-19 patients,((April 21, 2020 | Medical Xpress | [[https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-04-tiny-blood-clots-covid-lethal.html|Could tiny blood clots make COVID-19 more lethal?]])) though it is not clear whether blood clotting results in more severe COVID-19, whether COVID-19 causes the clots in some patients---or which patients those would be.

 Published research shows that when mental illness and learning disabilities are considered comorbidities, they are the most common among those who die from COVID-19 in hospitals.((April 29, 2022 | Beaney et al | Nature Communications | Trends and associated factors for Covid-19 hospitalisation and fatality risk in 2.3 million adults in England | [[https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-29880-7|https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-29880-7]])) This has driven speculation that hospitals targeted the mentally ill for termination.((May 8, 2022 | Ashmedai | [[https://ashmedai.substack.com/p/recently-published-study-in-nature?s=r|Recently Published Study in Nature: The Deadliest Covid Comorbidity Is...
