The truth is slowly trickling out.

“A study published this week by the largest workers’ compensation fund in New York found that about 71% of people with LongCovid required medical treatment or were unable to work for six months or more.” scmp.com/week-asia/heal…
The mass disabling event is ongoing. We are disabling our current and future workforces, while continuing to hit the accelerator. abcnews.go.com/Health/people-…
ABC News: “4 out of 5 people with LongCovid have trouble performing day to day activities: CDC. Younger adults were more likely to report LongCovid than older adults” by Mary Kekatos October 5, 2022
This data from the UK is STUNNING. Hiding the pandemic’s fallout and erecting numerous barriers to disability claims (in order to prevent them) is a primary goal in the US.
Because way back in 2021, we learned the system would collapse if Covid disabled even a few million Americans, & they filed for new disability benefits. There have been no changes to the existing system. Collapse is the goal.
Listen to the experts who are seeing the damage firsthand.
People should know the NY study is likely a big undercount. I don’t think the public understands how many people were disabled by Covid before testing started. Without a PCR test, physicians generally won’t diagnose LongCovid. Getting a diagnosis requires time, money, & effort.
“Up to 30% of Americans develop LongCovid after a Covid infection…About 18% of people with LongCovid hadn't returned to work for more than a year, according to a report by the New York State Insurance Fund, state's largest workers' compensation insurer.” cnbc.com/2023/01/30/lon…
CNBC: “Long Covid has an ‘underappreciated’ role in labor shortage, study finds”  PUBLISHED MON, JAN 30 2023 2:18 PM EST Greg Iacurci @GREGIACURCI
Those of us who were disabled by Covid early could see the writing on the wall. Unfortunately, people didn’t want to hear it.
“About 1.5 million Americans missed work because of sickness in December. Each month, more than a million people have called out sick for the past three years.” theguardian.com/world/2023/jan…
The normalization of Covid, refusing precautions, ignoring skyrocketing disease, disability & death, attacking homeschooling/remote learning, & disappearing the high-risk, sick & suffering: all QUITE deliberate. Reasserting the power of the state, while punishing the people.
The public was successfully tricked into believing things have dramatically improved, when in fact, they have not.

This isn’t going to magically stop. It’s going to get worse. Endless unmitigated mass (re)infection is THE official policy.
The truth is slowly trickling out, and the pushback is growing. Media is serving up fictional LongCovid recovery narratives, deliberately undercounting the number of maimed by tens of millions, & downplaying LongCovid in myriad ways. 193 symptoms disappeared in under 2 years.
The Guardian: “LongCovid has more than 100 symptoms, study finds. Calls for national screening program as symptoms revealed range from brain fog to tinnitus” by Linda Geddes July 15, 2021
Fierce Healthcare, February 1, 2023 “Researchers looking for LongCovid symptoms find only 7” by Frank Diamond
In October, an estimated 24 million Americans had LongCovid, and it was reported over 80% of them have trouble carrying out daily tasks.

ABC News published the article on the right in December 2022. The U.S. does not officially count LongCovid.
ACL.gov (Administration for community living) “CDC report shows more than 80% of 24M Americans with LongCovid are still disabled by symptoms.” October 6, 2022
ABC News: “At least 7 million people have LongCovid. Here’s how to support them. Patients can have debilitating symptoms.” By Kiara Alfonseca Mary Kekatos
While hordes of out-of-touch individuals who cheerfully work remotely—only interacting with other humans if there are state-of-the-art public health measures in place—shriek, “No one wants to work anymore!”
I see a pattern. We’re expected to believe we’re in control. If we get LongCovid, it was our choice, our fault. “Should have been healthier!”

Nothing could be further from the truth, but this is how they’re going to get out of paying the sick & paying to prevent transmission. Google Search results for “Long Covid” - The first result is a Washington Post article “LongCovid will be with us a long time and presents new challenges” The next four articles assert “Healthy lifestyles decrease the risk of LongCovid” the last article is a CBS news article with the headline “New research suggests simple steps to reduce LongCovid”
I hear this constantly. These stories are SO common, while media and governments continue to gaslight us. It’s disgusting. Getting LongCovid isn’t a choice. You can’t prevent it if you’re still getting infected—& routine reinfections are expected as a matter of policy.
The “LongCovid recovery” narrative is fictional, but it’s masterfully effective at keeping the public calm, consuming, & producing—business as usual—oblivious to the extreme risks.
Mild organ impairment.

“New British research finds that as many as 6 in 10 long COVID patients continue to battle some form of mild organ impairment -- sometimes involving more than one organ.” usnews.com/news/health-ne…
It has been 3 years since my 1st infection, 9 months since my reinfection. While I have improved some, I keep developing new medical problems. It’s an evolving situation—a marathon, not a sprint. We know how SARS patients fared long-term, why are we expecting full recoveries?
We’ve repeatedly been told MOST people fully recover, creating these impossible expectations without any evidence. We haven’t even begun to see late effects. People who *feel* fully recovered can have unknown organ damage & end up with complications later—which they may not connect to Covid at all. Those who don’t immediately recover face immense pressure to “be normal” & “push through,” which causes even more damage.
“Has or has had” - I see what they’re doing there. Cute. Oh, and this is very likely a massive undercount, as we don’t officially count LongCovid, & many people aren’t connecting their new medical problems to previous Covid infections.
Thank you for the dose of reality, Vermont Department of Health.
People don’t take Covid seriously because articles assure them Covid & LongCovid is treatable, preventable, manageable, & the situation has never been better, but also “the lack of proven treatments is disappointing,” & the NIH is very slow. time.com/6263356/long-c…

Time: “Researchers are getting closer to learning how to treat and prevent LongCovid”
Time: The lack of proven treatments is disappointing, Topol says, but he considers the recent findings about metformin’s potential to prevent Long COVID “very good news.”  Topol agrees that more studies on metformin are needed—but he says he believes that the early findings are promising enough, and the drug is safe and cheap enough, that he would personally take it now if he got sick with COVID-19. “I don’t want to get Long COVID,” Topol says.
One of the saddest parts of the LongCovid “recovery” narrative is watching folks proudly announce their full recoveries to family, friends, employers, & the public, only to relapse when new symptoms surface later. Then people are suspicious, even accusing you of malingering, because people don’t understand the cyclical nature of this disease.
Lately I’ve been seeing SO MANY “LongCovid recovery” tweets—too many to be accidental. Coincidentally, these “LongCovid recovery” narratives often emerge alongside the tsunami of anti-public health trolls & chaos agents. It’s clearly coordinated, meant to modify public opinion & behavior.
It wasn’t constant reinfection with a BSL-3 novel pathogen, it was your unhealthy lifestyle. washingtontimes.com/news/2023/mar/…
“The findings confirmed that 29% of patients with LongCovid had multi-organ impairment, with persistent symptoms & reduced function at 6 & 12 months. 59% of LongCovid patients had single organ impairment 12 months after initial diagnosis.” h/t @MeetJess rsm.ac.uk/media-releases…
LongCovid recovery narratives are not what they seem. This movement is not organic. It’s ALL about business.

The “LongCovid recovery” messaging has been merciless for the last 6 months. It doesn’t comport with reality when 81% of the 24M Americans w/LongCovid struggle to complete daily tasks. There’s very little testing/data, & when people quit seeking care they’re labeled “recovered.”
Propaganda Lesson: In October 2022, the CDC announced 81% of the 24M Americans with LongCovid struggle with daily tasks & young people are more affected.

6 months later, we get minimizing headlines like “LongCovid Can Make It Tough To Exercise,” when folks can’t get out of bed.


US news, May 31, 2023 “LongCovid can make it tougher to exercise, and research is revealing why”
Axios October 6, 2022 “LongCovid is still disabling millions of Americans” Sabrina Moreno
Axios October 6, 2022: “of the nearly 24,000,000 adults in the US are currently have long Covid, more than 80% are having some trouble carrying out daily activities, according to CDC data released Wednesday.”
ABC News, October 5, 2022 “4 out of 5 people who LongCovid have trouble performing day to day activities. Younger adults were more likely to report LongCovid than adults” Mary Kekatos
After we learned “a study published by the largest workers’ compensation fund in NY found that about 71% of people with LongCovid required medical treatment or were unable to work for 6 months or more,” the “LongCovid Recovery” propaganda ramped up SIGNIFICANTLY. By design.
“This comprehensive research, which followed up with patients 24 months after SARS-CoV-2 infection, highlights the alarming finding that 69.1% of non-hospitalized Covid patients continue to suffer from post-Covid issues.” thailandmedical.news/news/breaking-…
In October 2022, the CDC said 24M Americans had LongCovid, & over 80% had trouble completing daily tasks.

By December 2022 it was 7M, and this May 2023 article claims there are 10M. bostonglobe.com/2023/05/26/opi…
It’s also helpful to note, patients who quit seeking care are labeled “recovered.” Our healthcare system is in shambles, & wait times are asinine. We aren’t testing, keeping data, or counting the amount of disability resulting from Covid, and it’s ENTIRELY by design. IT’S A TRAP.
So weird how the above article was published on the same day as this horror show, written by an influential epidemiologist (who used to work for Exxon) encouraging “new, courageous ‘accept exposure’ behavior change strategies.”

And that is what we did. time.com/6251077/covid-…
Time: “The U.S. is now at a major pandemic crossroad. “Follow the science” has been a central policy guidepost in the pandemic. Science and public health knowledge and expertise is the conduit to both sound policy and public education through media channels. New courageous “accept exposure” policies, public education and behavior change strategies are needed to capture the benefits of the new paradigm. This could be a major step in bridging our national COVID divide.
The United States’ ONLY GOAL is to ensure businesses are protected. Changes that affect everyone are rapidly made behind the scenes while the public is distracted, convinced they’re exempt. Please understand: they’re laying the groundwork to f**k everyone in the near future.
After we learned 71% of New Yorkers with LongCovid required medical treatment or were unable to work for 6 months or more, we ended the emergency & normalized mass infection.

At the current rate, “the rate of LongCovid in the U.S. per lifetime will be over 99.9%.”
“In a press release, the mayor's office lists the city's unemployment rate, 5.4% compared to the national average of 3.7%, as one of the leading reasons for this state of emergency.” h/t @spindezine nbcnewyork.com/news/local/nyc…
It’s so strange how the US had 24M LongCovid patients in October 2022, then 10M six months later.

Despite the fact that people continue to be reinfected en masse, & we hear 36M Europeans have LongCovid, the US number is mysteriously declining. euronews.com/next/2023/06/2…
But we also hear 28 million Americans can’t smell or taste, which is LongCovid by definition. fortune.com/well/2023/06/1…
Anyway, here’s THE REASON:

When the millions of suffering people maimed by Covid stop using the healthcare system, defeated after years of constant gaslighting and dismissals, resigned to waiting & watching their premature deaths approach, they’re labeled “recovered.” SO CRUEL.
A study also found 81% of LongCovid patients struggle to complete daily tasks, at the same time we’re told “most recover.” 🥴
Spain: “The survey revealed that 46% of patients experience slight to significant difficulty performing their work, and that approximately 10% have lost their jobs.” medscape.com/viewarticle/99…
Not mild. Not rare. Not going away.

Also, each reinfection DRAMATICALLY increases the risks of LongCovid, organ damage, hospitalization, & death.
81% of the estimated 24M Americans with LongCovid struggle to complete daily tasks, but folks still think The Maimed are choosing not to get better, & forcing us back to normal is the solution.

OUR BODIES DON’T WORK. You can’t push through this, & we aren’t recovering.
85% reported decreased quality of life.

EIGHTY-FIVE PERCENT, while government and media tells everyone “most recover.” It’s a fantasy. It’s not real.
Now consider we don’t officially count LongCovid, and we never have.

Every public health policy has explicitly benefited business & short-term profits at the expense of humans, & now we are going to pay for those egregious errors.
For 2 years we heard, “Most recover!” (when “recovery” is defined as “no longer seeking care from healthcare systems”)

I think governments hoped we would politely die off, but we keep creating new LongCovid patients—nearly 1 million each month, per wastewater estimations.

PSA: If you are sick in the middle of summer, you have COVID. It’s not allergies, it’s not mold, it’s not bronchitis or laryngitis, it’s not a cold or The Crud. It’s Covid. As you lie to yourselves, you’re sickening others, & they could die. Covid affects everyone differently.
Serial testing has been recommended since 2023. People often don’t use the tests correctly.

We’ve never gotten new tests & we are likely never going to get them since disappearing the virus on paper & hiding the carnage are the only goals now.

Allow me to hold your hand as I say this.

We are subjected to endless propaganda & bot activity that pins the RECORD disability & death on vaccines because insurance, hospitals, & governments do not wish to pay for all the Covid Carnage. If it’s vaccines, the burden is on YOU.
Here’s an example of a garden variety vaccine waiver. If all your new disabilities can be pinned on vaccines instead of Covid, the insurance industry, hospitals, & governments are free from the financial burden their anti-public health conditions caused. Waiver “I acknowledge that I derive personal satisfaction & a benefit by virtue of my voluntarism at the Vaccine Clinic, & I willingly serve at the Vaccine Clinic. This personal satisfaction serving as true & valid consideration, I HEREBY RELEASE, WAIVE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS, & DEMANDS OF WHATEVER KIND OR NATURE AGAINST ST.
