The lingering impact of long COVID five years later

Five years ago this week, the pandemic started shutting down our country, and millions started working from home to prevent the spread of COVID-19. More than 7 million people around the world have died from it. Even after all this time, some people are still feeling negative effects from the virus they contracted at the beginning of the pandemic. FOX 26 Houston's Melissa Wilson caught up with a patient from New York City, America's ground zero, who suffers to this day from long COVID.

My best friend developed a tumor in her lung after getting the vaccine 3 years ago. They removed the upper lobe then went thru chemo and autoimmune. After all that she's had Covid 3 times, numerous respiratory infections and has now been diagnosed with Long Covid. She has had to stop working and she has had to turn to oxygen 75% of the time. She stays tired and cold all the time and at times she's so dizzy she has to hold onto anything just to walk. It has affected her mental health, hell it's effected everything. This is a woman that was always at 150%, working 60-80 hours a week, kayaking every chance she could now she can't work 5 hours without having to use her oxygen and take a nap, if she can fall asleep, and we've been kayaking twice in 3 years.

Long Covid and ME/CFS ruined my life. It has been 3 years, and I haven't recovered.

How many people with long Covid were vaccinated for Covid?

The pharmaceutical companies advertise on TV, supplying lots of revenue for the TV stations, and that revenue gives them control of the TV stations and their news programs so that they don't report what the pharmaceutical companies don't want reported.

This report is meant to keep people getting booster shots.

[Onlysticks]

And how many of these people got vaccinated ??

[Echoesofwhispers]

I lost a lot of my hair after getting the jab-was fine before it, even after having a legit round of covid.

Dear Sir, Thanks for this important video. It's helpful to see how long COVID still affects people after five years. Great info and very clear—really appreciate your work!

My dad has Strumpell Lorrain syndrome from 2003.
Since there's nothing to sell, nobody has ever cared.
With this I've explained both Covid and Long Covid, now we can move on, thanks.

Most Americans, including me, are not living healthy lives. Just look at the food we eat. High sodium, added sugars, LDL, and not enough fruits and vegetables.

[jfrancis]

Meanwhile, we, the evil unvaccinated ones, nothing.
told you!

[claudejames]

The real question is was he vaccinated

[Docj]

Interesting, wonder about Kransov’s part in the Covid debacle.

[QPT]

Does long Covid go away or is it lifelong for some ppl!

[earthquake.]

[douginorlando]

Truth is still being censored here in comments

Per several AI inquires on how many people died in China of C19, the AI (which has no axe to grind) came up with 150 million to 250 million.
Some Chinese people sources claim a "likely figure" of 400 million.
The question was directed to the AIs in several different forms, parameters on several(!) occasions, and the answer was pretty much the same.
The AI stated, that it has access only to open source info because the CCP is hiding data, but there are a LOT of other indicators and data that it has used, to come up with this astonishing number.

The Chinese in China are posting videos of the "empty cities", less traffic, and "funerals all over the place", so it's likely is the situation.
Many-many China-watching experts cautiously state now in the West, that China's population has slipped to 900 million, but based on many other indicators, it could be even lower, down to 700 million.
