🔴 More than half of people suffering from long Covid may not have the condition and may just be suffering from normal bouts of ill health, research from the Office for National Statistics suggests

telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/09/1…
📈The ONS surveyed nearly 27,000 people, who tested positive for Covid and used three different methods to estimate the prevalence of long Covid
In one analysis, they found that 5% reported at least one symptom 12-16 weeks after their infection.

However, the study also found that 3.4% of people who had not been diagnosed with Covid also reported the same long Covid symptoms. Image

🩸 This week, a study revealed that almost 35,000 British women have reported that following their Covid vaccination, they have experienced more painful and/or irregular periods.

Why didn't doctors listen? asks @CCriadoPerez telegraph.co.uk/women/life/did…
Dr Victoria Male, a lecturer in reproductive immunology, who led the study, said that all the main vaccines - Pfizer, Moderna, AZ Oxford - were involved, but there has been no suggestion of a long-term impact on fertility Image
This study is not the first we’ve heard of period disruption being linked to the jab.

💉Ever since the vaccine roll-out began women have been all over social media, talking about how the vaccine seemed to have an impact on their menstrual cycle

The retailer announced measures including:

❌Making clothes more durable
❌Halving carbon emissions
