Part Three: Mild
AG: "Even with a sniffle and a sore throat, you can get debilitating Long Covid symptoms for evermore."
In our first video, we released a recording of Andrew Gwynne telling the truth about Covid.
Hours later, he was sacked.
But there’s more to this cover up that you won't find in the media.
And we are just getting started.
AG: "The Long Covid was nothing like mild and left me wiped out for the best part of two years, and I'm still struggling with it to this day."
His job was to protect us from Covid.
So why didn't he?
AG: "It may well do lasting damage to our organs, to our brain, to other parts of our body. It may well be with us for the rest of our lives."
Governments know Covid is causing brain damage.
Even in mild cases.
They know it’s causing heart attacks...
... and strokes.
In the young and the old.
They know it’s causing mass disability, costing lives and billions of dollars.
They know it weakens our immune systems...
... leaving us more susceptible to other infections and making us sick more often:
They know the more infections we get, the greater the threat of Long Covid.
And they know it doesn’t spare children.
AG: "That's why we need to try and prevent Covid in the first place."
They know how to prevent infections.
AG: "Clean air, ventilation, filtration all has a massive part to play."
So they know Covid spreads in the air like smoke.
They know it's still infecting disabling and killing us.
And they know they can easily prevent it.
So why aren't they educating the public and healthcare workers?
Why aren't they preventing infections in hospitals and schools?
Your government has the power (and responsibility) to protect you from Covid.
So what's stopping them?
