CBS 4WWL notes that we're in a COVID wave with >1 million daily U.S. infections.
“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.”

Recognizing and addressing this strategy and its tactics ensures greater transparency and above all an informed society that does not function as a disorderly herd, but as an organized whole with a common vision and humanity.”
