Entering the Fifth Year of the Coronavirus, Where Does Long COVID Stand?
US News ^ | 3/11/24 | Cecelia Smith-Schoenwalder

More than 17% of U.S. adults reported having ever experienced symptoms of long COVID as of February, according to the Household Pulse Survey.

Much has changed since the World Health Organization first called COVID-19 a pandemic four years ago today. As the U.S. enters its fifth year with the coronavirus, vaccines are available and have been updated to more closely match the spreading variants. Treatments and tests for the coronavirus are accessible. The U.S. government relaxed its coronavirus guidance and officially ended its national emergency declarations in perhaps the largest symbolic step away from the pandemic.

It seems to me that "Long Covid" is strongly associated with demographics that are most strongly associated with mental health issues:

An intersectional analysis of long COVID prevalence

Who has long COVID? Here’s the data by gender

At 46%, transgender people experienced the highest rates of long COVID, followed by people who did not identify with the gender labels provided by the survey. Cisgender women had higher long COVID rates than cisgender men, 32% compared to 22%.

Wow, almost a perfect description of the relative rates of yielding to (leftwing) social pressures amongst demographics... imagine that...

I can almost guarantee that anyone claiming long covid was vaxxed.

Those of us that aren’t vaxxed, perhaps got covid and then moved on with life

“More than 17% of U.S. adults reported having ever experienced symptoms of long COVID as of February, according to the Household Pulse Survey.”

We are not hearing/nor seeing a lot of long Covid from people/relatives, we know from coast to coast.

Actually, only 2 cases out here that we know of. Both were/are very active and sturdy women in their 30/40’s.Two plus years later, they are still impacted and limited re ability to work and live a normal life.

One young man was misdiagnosed and later was diagnosed with terminal LGD Lou Gehrig’s disease.

I had Covid gout which lasted about a week after sharing a mild Covid infection with my wife, donated by an adult son.

Conclusion: Gout flare occurred in 18% of patients with comorbid gout hospitalized for COVID-19.

I put Voltaren gel on the foot about 3 times per day, and it
went away. I needed to use a cane for about 2 weeks to keep my balance. I never needed any hospital time.

Chris Cuomo mentioned on his show last week that he has it but it wasn’t to announce it;

Oh?

Two weeks? I have been by myself, in my house wearing a mask even in my sleep.

Is it safe to come out yet?

Never mind long COVID; what about long VACCINE EFFECTS? Within ten days after her third COVID jab, my wife began exhibiting bouts of dementia, loss of balance and Parkinson’s type symptoms. Her neurologist says the meds she’s on only slow the progression but no improvement is expected.

I have Long Covid. Chronic fatigue, nausea, insomnia, dizziness, brain fog, increased confusion. I had to retire because of it.

Caught Covid in Feb 2022, developed Long Covid starting July 2022, got really bad in Nov 2022, had to retire in April 2023 because of it. It still affects me, and probably forever will. Been trying to get a disability cuz of it. Still fighting with SS.

Interesting. I had a similar experience, but mine started with a standard flu shot in 2014. I got the shot just before starting work, and before my shift ended I had serious pain in my knees, which went away by the next day, and a general malaise throughout my whole body which stuck around for months. I finished out that shift, and within two days, everything tasted like crap, I couldn’t smell anything and the thought of eating was unpleasant at best. This went on for over 2 years.

Also, oddly enough I somehow ended up with periodontitis inside of 2 weeks after that injection. It was a real shock to my dentist and hygienist, since I was seeing them every 3 months for other things.

All my symptoms have finally faded away, (10 years later!) with the exception of still needing more dental care than some, but I am now down to a “normal” visitation routine of every six months.

I sometimes wonder if I wasn’t a test subject of an earlier version of this mRNA experiment.

Not my best work, but here's a first go:

To the tune of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"

It was 4 long years ago today
Doctor Fauci said at home to stay
On the news he said it with a smile
But he said "it’s only for a while"
So may I introduce to you
The fraud you’ve known for all these years
Doctor Fauci’s criminal cabal

They’re Doctor Fauci’s criminal cabal
They hope you will get vaxxed real soon
Doctor Fauci’s criminal cabal
Stay home and wear your useless mask
Doctor Fauci’s criminal, Doctor Fauci’s criminal
Doctor Fauci’s criminal cabal

It’s dangerous to be here
It’s certainly not safe
You’re such a bunch of stupid sheep
They’d like to put you on a vent
They’d love to take your temp

You don’t really want to get the vax
And they're not giving you the facts
They're telling you the COVID shots
Are not what’s causing all those clots
So let me introduce to you
The biggest bunch of lying frauds
Doctor Fauci’s Criminal Cabal

It is "true"

COVID19 was invented march 2020 and rolled out in EVENT 201 right on schedule .

formerly known as "SARS COV2", the staged "Event 201" snowballed and caught on like a grassfire so they rolled with it as the PCR test and promises of huge funding brought in the falsified proof of a" worldwide pandemic "

Largest scam in human history and EVERYONE fell for it and/or was forced to buy in

anyone with credibility who tried to expose the scam was silenced and personally/professionally destroyed

I did see they are having a Bar-b-Que festival in downtown Port au Prince. Guess I’ll drive over there and check it out!

Thanks!

She is probably among the few but statistically notable number of folks whose immune system is highly compromised by the vax and boosters. I haven’t seen any info on if these folk ever get their immune system back in order. The RNA modification may not be reversible.

Long COVID used to be what was the result of oxidative stress due to glutathione deficiency.

Now it is used to describe things like brain fog and muscle fatigue.
