The Long COVID Tipping Point?
The Long COVID Tipping Point?

“Imagine the impact over the next decade. This isn’t just about individuals; it’s a 10% chance of our doctors, pilots, presidents, soldiers, and police officers all grappling with the debilitating effects of Long COVID. When essential roles in society are consistently compromised, the risks are stacked like blocks in an increasingly unstable tower—one that can only lean so far before it topples. The more we ignore the impact of Long COVID, the closer we edge toward this collapse.

The toll of Long COVID is not a hypothetical future but an unfolding reality. As it affects more people, it strains every facet of society—healthcare, insurance rates, disability programs, and economic productivity. “

COVID-19 & The 2024 Election
COVID-19 & The 2024 Election
“Instead of prioritizing public health, the Biden-Harris Admin elected to construct an artificial ‘post-pandemic’ finish line for them to cross and throw themselves a party. It failed to result in meaningful electoral success during the midterm elections. Another holiday season came around, with more children developing serious “post-pandemic” health issues…The Biden Administration, and the larger Democrat Party, had formed a new consensus with the anti-vaccine movement: That you stupid proles all need to shut the hell up and simply embrace unlimited COVID-19 infections, especially on the job, and especially the burden of bringing the disease home to your family, infecting your loved ones. If you wind up disabled by it, well, you no longer exist to us anymore - so drop dead. You are no longer entitled to your own health or entitled to protect your children's health. Your employer is now entitled to your health, and may throw it away at the drop of a hat, fully protected by the legal system..”

A reminder that ~800,000 Americans have been killed by COVID since the Biden-Harris administration began. Tens of millions have Long C0VlD. And C0VlD spread more in September 2024 than any point in 2020. They refuse to do anything to stop the spread, even as thousands die weekly.

Factcheck: Herd immunity is not the solution to COVID-19 pandemic
Factcheck: Herd immunity is not the solution to COVID-19 pandemic
“While herd immunity has successfully protected populations from other infectious diseases, such as measles and smallpox, all efforts to stop the SARS-CoV-2 virus — the virus behind COVID-19 — from spreading have fallen short. According to Giurgea, immune responses against this virus, whether achieved through vaccination or a previous infection, subside with time. Additionally, the ability of the virus to mutate allows it to evade these immune responses and continue to spread in the population.”

IMO, the main reason is the cognitive dysfunction caused by SARS-CoV-2.

“At the peak of the late-summer Covid wave, U.S. health systems were testing approximately evenly for COVID, flu, & RSV.

Yet, nearly all positive cases were Covid.

PublicHealth guidance must disabuse the myth that Covid conforms to the flu/RSV seasonal pattern.”

“Those who are the most well-informed about COVID, who know which variants are circulating, how to check wastewater levels, who encourage testing in their social circles and calmly continue to mask in public, have a more adult, emotionally mature relationship with the pandemic. They understand that denial is no remedy for fear, and delusion no refuge.”

“So one can only conclude that the CDC purposefully redesigned their COVID graphic to downplay the severity and reduce attention paid to the —by far— number one cause of death by infectious disease.

Why? What purpose does this suppression serve?”

The two main takeaways from this graph are the following:

Overall, fewer than 20% of COVID-19 deaths are being reported in these public places in all provinces (a bit higher in Quebec in fall/winter season, but not much).

Provinces are only reporting 20% of COVID deaths, that would mean that Alberta's 735 deaths in the last 12 months is actually around 3675. Which would be by far the #1 cause of death.

US record-keeping is similarly limited/skewed
