Question for #longcovid sufferers that improved after vaccinations.
I was "mildly" infected in wave 1 and very ill for most of 2020. Jan 2021 I was hospitalized with a reinfection, but LC improved significantly for some time then began to worsen again after a couple of months. >
Then I was vaccinated and it improved further. Slightly worsened, then dose 2 improved things even more. Slightly worsened then dose 3 improved things again and I felt good enough I was planning on a return to training.
>
The last 2-3 weeks though I seem to be reverting badly. Utter exhaustion. Need 15+hrs sleep to feel functional. Tachycardia. GERD worsening. Nausea. Stomach pains and diarrhea.
>
It's been 3.5mths since dose 3, and there's no plans in Sweden for dose 4. 😒
Has anyone else experienced this with "waning" vaccine?
May be signs of latent infection making a comeback? 🤔

There's sadly a very good chance that China is about to turn into a massive morgue and a SARS-CoV-2 variant factory. It's not because Omicron is unstoppable, it's because the west decided to #letitrip, making it harder and harder to prevent outbreaks.
While compared to Europe, China currently looks like this -
1. I took my 15yr old son to the Doctor, where they did a test. His results were worse than an elderly person with COPD. Thank you #LongCovid. Thank you #AndersTegnell. Thank you @Folkhalsomynd

2. We spoke to relatives in Russia, who claimed Russia was defending itself from attacks by Ukraine and NATO. We then spoke to our mutual, elderly, cousin, in a bomb shelter in Kyiv, expecting to die.

3. I spoke to my brother, in Brisbane, Australia. He is surrounded by floodwaters. Some places have had 1 *metre* of rain in a few hours. More rain fell in 2 days than in a usual 4 months. And it rains a lot in Brisbane normally.
More than 1yr after my son fell ill from Covid and never fully recovered he finally - after I demanded it - has a diagnosis of "post-covid" and finally - after I demanded them - had appropriate blood tests conducted.
The result? The Dr just called to say we should take him to ER
A year. MORE THAN A FUCKING YEAR.
I'm furious.
And just for context - He turns 16 next week. He lost an entire term of school because he was fatigued. He now only makes 3-4 days/wk (if that). He's had to change his choices for his high school streams.

Secret documents reveal the obvious - Sweden's pandemic strategy has not been to decrease infections as much as possible, but to mitigate to a level where healthcare can cope. Multiple ministers, including the former Prime Minister, Stefan Löfven, have directly lied about this.
Prediction: There will be zero repercussions from this being revealed.
Also worth pointing out, the Swedish Public Health Authority literally had a graph explaining this in virtually every press conference for the first year of the pandemic -
I should stop being shocked by this type of thing by Swedish journalists (and scientists for that matter), but nevertheless I keep getting shocked. An anonymous twitter account created a "excess mortality" graph that purports to show how well Sweden is doing over the pandemic.
There are *huge* problems with the graph, which I may go in to later, but just reflect on the fact that this is simply a graph produced by an anonymous account on twitter. That's it.
And here it's being retweeted by the Chief Editor of Flamman, a major left-wing outlet.
A Swede points out to him that the account that tweeted is apparently known for extreme right-wing disinformation.
@LAretakis response? "Eurostat is extreme right disinformation"? Breathe!"
