In late summer 2021, during the Delta wave of the coronavirus pandemic, the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation issued a disturbing wake-up call: According to its calculations, more than 11 million Americans were already experiencing long COVID. The academy’s dashboard has been updated daily ever since, and now pegs that number at 25 million.
Even this may be a major undercount. The dashboard calculation assumes that 30 percent of COVID patients will develop lasting symptoms, then applies that rate to the 85 million confirmed cases on the books. Many infections are not reported, though, and blood antibody tests suggest that 187 million Americans had gotten the virus by February 2022. (Many more have been infected since.) If the same proportion of chronic illness holds, the country should now have at least 56 million long-COVID patients. That’s one for every six Americans.

Da-huum!
Your inflated hourly “minimum wage” ought to buy you a sammich.

Damn me and my O- blood that makes me nearly immune from all terrestrial diseases.
I can’t go on disability.
Long Covid / Short Vax, take your pick.
The latest excuse for vax side effects.
Of course, locking people down results in weaker bodies from lack of exercise, and weaker immune systems from lack of use.
Correlation is not causation.
But to keep the fear porn going, everything from hang nails to a bad hair day is now “long Covid”.
Isn’t it interesting that no other colds or flus exist any more? Covid eradicated all other forms of illness.
Except monkeypox.
Or whatever the next health emergency illness is going to be.
In 2010, field offices for the Social Security Administration received close to 3 million applications for disability assistance....In 2020 and 2021, one-third of all Americans became infected with SARS-CoV-2, and a significant portion of those people developed chronic symptoms. Yet the number of applications for disability benefits did not increase....yet patients must build up enough medical documentation to prove that they are likely to remain impaired for at least a year....If the “mass disabling event” plays out as tens of millions of cases of shooting nerve pain or diarrhea, for example, or even just a persistent loss of smell, then you might never see a large jump in the number of Americans who report having difficulty functioning....A CDC analysis, published last month, examined the medical records from hundreds of thousands of adult COVID patients, and concluded that at least one in five might experience post-illness complications.
The insinuation is that more people need to be getting disability assistance=increasing dependence upon government, thus increasing votes for those who support such, and increasing compliance to Woke policies from those you are dependent upon.

But to keep the fear porn going, everything from hang nails to a bad hair day is now a reaction to the vaccine.
Everyone I know who has Long Covid was already lazy and depressed
In ‘77, the Swine Flu vaxx was pulled after killing fewer than three dozen people and injuring around 500.
Why is a human life worth so much less to the state now?

In ‘77, the swine flu vaccine was pulled after the swine flu ‘epidemic’ collapsed.
Blood clot and myocarditis are known and admitted side effects of Covid vaxes.
Since you persist in burying your head in the sand and denying the damage done to people by these vaxes, you will forever be known on FR as a shot shill and liar.
Pretending they are safe and effective when all know that they have serious, life threatening side effects, and neither prevent someone from catching Covid nor spreading it, shows how out of touch with reality you are., at the very least. And that’s giving you the benefit of the doubt.
More realistically, it’s likely it’s intentional deception, which puts it and you in a whole ‘nother catagory.
The only fear mongering being done is by the government which is so terrifying people over a disease with a +99% survival rate into getting an untested, experimental treatment that doesn’t work and has a greater risk of harming them than the disease itself.
Warning people about something that can hurt them, like their vax, is not fear mongering. Lying to them to further your own agenda and using their fear to manipulate them, like you and your cohorts do, is.
Probably most of it is psychological.
Or just wanting the attention and being part of the crowd.
Look at me. I’m special. I have long Covid. I’m such a martyr. Feel sorry for me.
The vaxx was recalled because of an unacceptable risk of GBS.
The risk to today’s CoupFlu vaxx recipients is higher than it was to people getting shot up in 76 and 77.
So why is more acceptable for the state to harm and kill these days...
“Blood clot and myocarditis are known and admitted side effects of Covid vaxes.”
Also a side effect of Covid.

If was also recalled because the swine flu epidemic collapsed. It was never proven that the vaccine caused the increase in GBS. Correlation isn’t causation.
That doesn’t negate the danger from the vax.
The point was that the vaxes are not safe and effective as many claim.
No but it does mean that if you got vaxed and you had Covid, either one could be to blame. I know people who got myocarditis from Covid before the vaccine was available. Everyone I know that has died while sick with the China bioweapon was not vaxxed.
Everyone I know that has died while sick with the China bioweapon was not vaxxed.
Were they given early, safe and effective treatments such as HCQ, Ivermectin, along with Azithromycin or doxycycline, budesonide breathing treatments, etc?
Or, were they given the ‘FRAUDci standard’ treatment of Remdisivir and a vent?
I don’t know of any non-jabbed people to die, while sick with the china virus.
I do know of several who’ve died, after taking these $hots. Folks with NO known existing health issues.
