“The drug manufacturer Merck now lists Covid as the third most common cause of lymphocytopenia, right behind HIV. What's lymphocytopenia? It's immunodeficiency. …A pharmaceutical giant like Merck doesn't say something like that unless it's definitive.” COVID IS NOT MILD. Avoid infection, N95😷

I feel like this is a mischaracterization of what the Merck manual is saying. It (www.merckmanuals.com/professional...) cites this paper pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32663356/ from 2020, pre-vaccines, that is only looking at acute COVID-19 infection, not long-term consequences.
