A huge French study shows BELIEVING you had Covid is associated with many later symptoms. But ACTUALLY having had Covid isn't associated with any (except loss of sense of smell).
Honestly I have no dog in this long COVID fight but it seems like small potatoes while there are tyrants dead set on maiming and killing children. That is giving me chest pains and trouble sleeping too
Hmm. How many of those symptoms can also be caused by atrophy as a result of reduced physical and mental stimuli -- which are, likely, a result of lockdowns, isolation and fearmongering? My guess is a whole walloping lot of them.
I wish this article would get much more attention than it likely will.
Clinically, anosmia was the most pathognomonic symptom of COVID patients whom I have seen clinically over the last year +, and to some extent ageusia (loss of taste). Persistent and / or complete anosmia was the key symptom I saw that distinguished COVID from previous and different respiratory infections, especially the anosmia that lingered long after other symptoms cleared. (After having COVID myself, the anosmia lasted for months till my first capsule of ivermectin. Then I could smell again 3 hours later.)
Medicine had always been practiced - till the COVID era - with reliance on the patient's signs and symptoms, not over-reliance on lab tests.
I would love to see a study done on long haulers on the Swedish population - in a population that was not fed a fear pill and shut down for years on end, how are their thoughts manifesting into symptoms (and long haulers symptoms)? Our government and agencies and media told the population that they were going to die, die, die every single day. What do you think this did to people's spirit, brains, and body?
Saying someone's illness is psychosomatic is often seen as fobbing them off. It's not necessarily. The mind is a powerful thing that can have real effects on the body.
I sense the trolls, programmed and real, have showed up to Alex's Substack. Some of it is relatively sophisticated, some of it is zeroes and ones programmed from who knows where. And why not? Did we think the Overlords would just let Substack be a peaceful place to share information? Ignore the comments that incite fear, uncertainty and doubt. It's part of the psyop.
Of course, part of mass psychosis! It is expected that hysterical symptoms would be part of this pandemic equation. You cannot scare the shit out of people for months with a death ticker, extreme exaggerations and blatant lies, and then not expect anxiety to play a significant role. We've all had that moment where we suspect we may be coming down with covid and you get that knot in your throat at the apprehension of feeling poorly (and the unknown outcomes of a virus that has either been entirely created by, tampered with at a minimum, by man. I've assumed that long covid was simply post-viral syndrome, which occurs in less than 10% of people, depending on the virus. Anxiety and attention seeking behavior by narcissists are the other most likely reasons to report long lasting symptoms. Another thing I found most interesting is the CDC's study 'Underlying Medical Conditions and Severe Illness Among 540,667 Adults Hospitalized With COVID-19, March 2020–March 2021' (https://www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2021/21_0123.htm) , in which 'Anxiety and Fear Related Disorders' was the SECOND most common comorbidity among those hospitalized with a C19 diagnosis. We literally scared people into hysterical symptoms that increased the likelihood of ending up in the hospital, which seems to be a 50-50% shot of getting out of alive if you were unlucky enough to be part of the everyone-on-a-ventilator and/or Remdesivir phases of the medically incompetent NIH treatment plan. Damn, we are collectively stupid.
I just had covid. Fever, body aches and fatigue. No loss of smell. All symptoms resolved in a week. Nothingburger compared to previous flus. But I still got an effing positive on a PCR yesterday. Annoying because that means another week of ignoring calls from contact tracers.
How interesting. My husband lost his sense of smell for three months (we were house shopping and would walk into some homes and the kids and I would grab our noses because they stink and he would get upset because he couldn't smell anything 😆) so I hope this does mean his antibodies are strong.
There's a woman on Twitter that swears she has long covid, takes pics of herself claiming she has aged ten years, wants the whole country locked back down. I have always thought she has serious mental problems.
OH, I SEE NOW. The AMA. This abuse is what happened to people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CDC gave it the misnomer "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome," or CFS, and the disease picked up more stigmatizing as "Yuppy Flu" in the 1980s after outbreaks in Lake Tahoe and other places.) The CDC knew, and knows, what causes it. There is some treatment that helps a great deal, finally, and prolongs life. My husband, a great physician, Veteran, F-16 pilot, with many other qualities and accomplishments, lost his life to it early Palm Sunday morning, 2020. 26 years. Two of his highly accomplished sisters lost their lives to it as well. Fibromyalgia went through a similar process. Now both are acknowledged to be real. Acquired Immune Disorders, Immune Disorders, neuro-auto-immune diseases. For decades these patients were largely abandoned and suffered terribly; were generally considered to be at most somatic disorders. I am ever more amazed, and my outrage knows no bounds at the psychopath cruelty of Wicked Men destroying peoples' lives and our country. AMA has for decades traveled forward helping to establish full Marxist mayhem, and they are almost there. They are not going to like it when they, as collaborators are dealt with the way Marxism has always deal with collaborators.
Things are really getting bad when we trust French researchers more than our own. Our U. S. medical agencies, medical communities, doctors and research scientists don't realize it but their credibility and reputations all got long Covid. Symptoms include they breathe out only hot air and their pants keep falling down because of all the money in their back pockets. We don't trust them anymore
You gotta be kidding me. 60% of the people who had Covid didn't even know it. And many that tested positive didn't ever have Covid. Houston, I think we have a problem!
Typical Big Pharma and medical industrial complex play. Make all things a disease to treat. They learned long ago how to prey on human nature as human nature always wants to be labeled in some way to take away any self responsibility. Look honey, I do not have a drinking problem its a disease so I'm good. Look honey I am fat because its a disease so its not my fault. Look honey I have type 2 diabetes etc etc etc. Once you truly "get" what the medical industrial complex is all about you know its not the true path to living well and staying healthy. If you choose the stepping into the slippery bowl of pharma...it's highly unlikely you will ever escape. Lot's a lots of $$$ in treating labeled disease. Assured Pharma profits!
Years ago I took an anthropology class and I remember the professor telling us about a tribe (where and who long escapes me) that had a way of marking the front door of enemies to indicate they put a spell on the person. The person with the marked door in some cases actually worried themself until they got sick. Covid reminds me of this. Much more about anxiety and unfounded concerns than about physical illness.

Long Covid=Long, big paychecks.

What did you expect when the CDC added every symptom possible to identify as COVID, this is why people test at the first signs of a sniffle!
