“In the fourth year of the pandemic, long Covid is emerging as a major public health concern. However, the medical community is yet to arrive at a clear understanding of what the condition is, what causes it, and how to treat it.” As with just about everything pandemic-related, long Covid is polarising. Some believe it to be a burgeoning public health crisis. Others think it’s a made up condition that only exists in the minds of anxious women and Cult Covidians.
Their is a pretty good probability that most of what people describe as long covid has a lot more to do with adverse reactions.
Myself and a sizeable group of non vaccinated friends and their friends have never had long Covid symptoms and all but one has only caught Covid once and all but 2 had the normal 3 days of mild symptoms.
I talk to a lot of people on a daily basis some of whom are long standing customers and I’m amazed about the story s of I’ll health I’m hearing.
When possible I try and ask about the vaccine and everyone I get a answer from and has been ill has been vaccinated.
I’m finding more and more are saying they wished they hadn’t had it or won’t be having anymore.
Maybe the negative attitudes are coming from those already ill with one of the syndromes, who know damn well that any drug that fails its testing phase so badly is potentially damaging. It is those of us who have been failed by medicine that become suspicious of medicine, and that means anyone who has ever had one of the syndromes or an other un-curable disease. Medicine has let us down so badly, we would be crazy not to be suspicious of those who are selling the snake oil.
Thank you Rebekah. Long covid or Long con? Consider this. If you told people you were installing a video surveillance & total control system on them. Would they stand for it, put up with that?
I don't think so. OK then the whoever they are. Invent some life threatening & truly terrifying lurgy. Release it on the unsuspecting world. While everyone's completely distracted. Switch on the surveillance & control system. Perfect cover for the evil that has been perpetrated.
Coincidence? Conspiracy? Neither actually. just fact. Read my observations on the con, that's happened.
One thing we definitely know about Long Covid is that shots are safe and efficient - and it would have been much worse without them. (Pretty much conclusions for every scientific study going forward).
Edward Shorter proposed a compelling argument on (part of) Long Covid in his 1992 book “From Paralysis to Fatigue” where he describes the history of psychosomatic illness.
Certainly “Long Covid” is real. Every infection - fungal, viral, bacterial -has a small, nonzero chance of triggering some secondary symptom - rarely long term. PANDAS from Strep Throat, post viral syndrome from the flu, etc.
There odds of having long term symptoms from this partially coronavirus should be no different than the odds from the dozen other known coronavirus we’ve lived with for 3 million years - near zero.
However, due to collective hysteria, we have engaged in the “cultural illnesses” shorter proposed in his book.
It is curious though that with Long Covid supposedly so common, I can’t seem to find much of it when I pick a definable public group and count long Covid sufferers

While no medical expert myself (not even sure what that is anymore), it would appear to me to be fiendishly clever to insert a relatively benign pathogen into general society (whether through whatever covid itself is OR the covid jabs themselves) that essentially doesn’t have specific serious side-effects itself, but rather acts chimerically through multiple systemic inflammatory conditions impacting several organs and systems in the body. So much of what we consider to be illness is inflammation after all. To add literal insult to injury, what if this pathogen simultaneously acted to activate dormant or latent genetic conditions, rendering the body’s immune system unable to cope with otherwise innocuous issues, allowing these to spiral. That’s my take on it; whatever I caught in early 2020 wasn’t the flu and it wasn’t a cold - it was a bizarre set of symptoms that knocked me on my arse for about 3 days and then took about another 3 to go away totally. I think long “covid” is a combination of the above and most frequently is seemingly experienced by those of the “grateful to have been jabbed and boosted” brigade, although I’ve read anecdotally of the unjabbed also getting covid really badly, and experiencing those long symptoms. I personally know a handful of people who’ve convalesced for many weeks with “mystery” ailments after covid, all jabbed to the gills. Amidwesterndoc has some good write ups on his Substack about this - there’s no doubt “something” is hitting people, and its not just jab side-effects.
I have no doubt 'long covid' exists, just like post-viral syndromes attributed to other viruses, but the lack of formal diagnostic criteria and the broad definition by bodies like the WHO, is causing the discussion around this serious issue to become farcical.
I simply cannot believe the true rates of LC are 5-10%, but it's little surprise given the way they are currently being 'counted'. Similarly, I cannot believe that it is likely to be any worse than historical post-viral syndromes (although this remains to be seen). Add to that the evidence suggesting there is not a significant association between LC and actual covid infection, and the results (and any subsequent conclusions) are nonsense.
To be clear, I am in no way dismissing the very real suffering of people who may or may not have LC. As a person with a genetic condition which shares many of the same common symptoms (and took decades to diagnose, during which I too faced incredulity and dismissal), I sympathise deeply with people who are struggling to live a happy and fulfilled life when their bodies often refuse to cooperate. Whatever the cause, these people need and deserve help.
Having said that, failure to examine this issue thoroughly and in good faith, does nothing to address the health concerns of such people. Is it really LC, or is it covid vaccine injury? Is it a combination? Could it be a different post-viral syndrome, or another condition altogether (even a condition like mine, which is estimated to be significant underdiagnosed)? These questions are important and they need apolitical answers. In the meantime, I think this doctor is right to advocate for validation and symptom relief.
One final observation, if perhaps a tad petty: the nerve of the RACGP to speak with authority on a "holistic, person-centred" approach after tacitly supporting one-size-fits-all covid vaccine mandates! Of course the former is the correct approach in all medical scenarios, but one can't help noticing that these people have no shame.
There are some people who had real covid symptoms and had long covid problems. But the http://flccc.net has a protocol to help those people. With Ivermectin, Quercitin, and a lot more. It seems to help some people. These doctors think it is the Spike-protein lasting in the system.
First we had the Ventilators and remdesivir causing health problems. Then we have the "Vaccine" causing huge health problems that get diagnosed as long covid. Additionally we had masks, isolation, fear, etc, giving problems. Some people are still wearing masks and/or getting boosters, because of "long covid", so they are actively maintaining the problem that they have.
GREAT article. Good musings. I feel like I have been hit with a trauma sledgehammer these past few years and we know trauma changes the brain and affects the body, especially when exposed to it early in life, recovered, exposed again, and then re-exposed. Australians have been mind raped, even those who understand what is happening. In some ways, we have had it worse. Lots to unpack.
They rebranded it to scare people into fearing covid and taking the jab.
I've had pvfs for 11 years and lost my job due to it 8 years ago.
Any viral infection can cause it.
It goes away quickly for some and not so quickly for others and there's a wide range of things that can go wrong with you. PVFS is really just an umbrella name for it as they still don't know how your body ends up going all to fuck but it seems that it's your immune system that's still fighting a long gone infection. They certainly don't know how to treat it as I was just given co-codamol and tramadol and forgotten about.
At the start of covid I was speaking to my mum about it and said to her that there will be an explosion of pvfs cases due to how many were getting covid. I certainly didn't expect them to change the name and try to use it to scare the shit out of everyone (well not everyone)
I do believe that lots of people who have "long covid" have adverse reactions to the poison they injected into people though but they'll never admit that.
I should go around telling people that I have long swine flu as that's how I ended up with pvfs.
One thing though, pvfs is definitely real but they're topping it up with vax injuries too try and hide the amount of folk that they have knowingly injured.
The dissolution is simple: protein busting enzymes such as serrapeptase, used in some hospitals for iv against clot caused strokes; nattokinase, bromelain or papain.
Clots are not just DVT or PE. They cause widespread depression of function.... cos the body uses blood for transport of more than just oxygen. The organs will sit in their own excrement/metabolites.
The immune system will kill individuals quite happily, with clots, in order to preserve the species that carry that immune system. Clots can be tamed easily, cheaply.
Isn't there a good reason why long Covid is still a mystery? Does the mystery and related fear support or not support Australian vaccination policy? If there would be clear medical proof and evidence "long covid" exists and is indeed related to a Covid infection wouldnt that be wonderful for the vaccination state and therefore all over mainstream media? In absence of it, all they can do is keep the myth alive to support their narrative and survival.
Long covid feels like a poisoning. Non-sense trying to blame it on concerns of getting jabbed, that's just blaming the victim, outrageous, cannot stress that enough. Very repetitive that the abusers keep trying to blame their victims. I say this as someone who got sick in November of 2019, BEFORE the scamdemic and the gene therapies. I suspect I got sick thru a circulating variant or from a flu shot I got the first week of Nov. 2019. Very convenient if there was a plan to poison people via flu shots the winter before a "pandemic" is declared.
I'm troubled by the 'negative attitudes' theory. After considerable research on the illness I considered that both original covid & the vaccines would be bad for me, and actively avoided each. Does the negative attitudes theory allow for personal body and psychological knowledge? When I eventually contracted the omicron version I had a small inflammatory rebound that came after I felt good - I didn't bring it on - which, in the original strain, might have been a bit serious. And people can personally know that being forced to take an experimental medication would be psychologically devastating for them.

We have to separate Long Covid sufferers by Jab status to get to the bottom of the problems.

"long covid" is post viral fatigue syndrome.

"It" is clotting. Clots can be found in organs as well as blood vessels and bones that carry blood.

Just don't tell pHarma!
A good question - "What is long covid?"
Yesterday someone was telling me their actual covid experience. He was a few days feeling bad. His wife had worse symptoms, and cough for a few weeks.
I pointed out the persistent cough was probably 2ndary bacterial chest infection, due to the large amount of uncleared mucus.
And yet he said she had "Long Covid".
