“Self-funded short documentary about the true nature of Covid / Sars-CoV-2, and the impact that Long Covid has had on one family.

Derived from material photographed in Sept. 2024 for the feature length documentary project THE UNRAVELLING, currently in pre-production / development.”

“With each wave, SC2 leaves in its wake long-term complications, damage to the cardiovascular, neurological, and immune systems, and chronic conditions

Those who might have been considered ‘healthy’ before infection can rapidly transition into the category of the vulnerable”

“This is what the Covid cautious want our friends and families to understand. It hasn't gone away. It's still here. It's hurting millions of people. Our governments ignore it. Our mainstream media minimizes it.

Here's what we know:”

“Repeated studies show in the bluntest terms that the initial acute infection is only the tip of the iceberg. Even a mild bout of COVID can leave a legacy of blood clots, heart failure, diabetes, decreased brain function (see sidebar), long COVID (now affecting 400 million people worldwide) and immune damage that increasingly makes people more vulnerable to a plethora of infectious diseases and possibly cancers.

These problems can erupt three years after an infection”

“We have lived through a Covid summer – and there is new cause for concern

With lives being turned upside down by sudden illness and a steady mortality rate related to the disease, Covid and its after-effects are still looming menacingly over us. Zoë Beaty talks to experts and those suffering to find out more”

August, 2024 LA Times:

"Each new infection also carries the risk of long COVID — in which symptoms, sometimes severe enough to be debilitating, can emerge, persist, resolve and reemerge over a period of weeks, months or years."

“A large study published in early 2024 showed that even people who had a mild SARS-CoV-2 infection still experienced new health problems related to COVID-19 in the third year after the initial infection.

Such findings parallel other research showing that the virus persists in various organ systems for months or years after COVID-19 infection. And research is showing that immune responses to the infection are still evident two to three years after a mild infection. Together, these studies may explain why a SARS-CoV-2 infection years ago could still cause new health problems long after the initial infection.”

“Think you’ve grasped the full extent of COVID’s ongoing impact? Think again. As Americans shrug off vaccines and forget indoor air quality, the virus stealthily continues its destructive path. This was pretty much inevitable without new guidance urging a change in strategy and nobody telling us the full truth.

The danger is clear and present: COVID isn’t merely a respiratory illness; it’s a multi-dimensional threat impacting brain function, attacking almost all of the body’s organs, producing elevated risks of all kinds, and weakening our ability to fight off other diseases. Reinfections are thought to produce cumulative risks, and Long COVID is on the rise. Unfortunately, Long COVID is now being considered a long-term chronic illness — something many people will never fully recover from.”

🔺No longer a mass Death event… 🔺COVID-19 is an ongoing mass #Disability event 🔺You & I might get #LongCOVID 🔺But society is yawning
