Not sure why someone flagged my post, here it is again:

Excellent, a new way to test for the "fibrinaloid clots", a term that has only recently appeared in the literature since 2022, directly after the first experimental injections were administered worldwide and 2 years after the declared pandemic. It sounds like the authors are assuming "long Covid" comes from Covid rather than the experimental injections without ever having ruled out the latter, even though the onset correlates temporally with the experimental injections far more than the declared pandemic. Since this term never existed in the literature during the first 2 years of the declared pandemic, and only finally appeared in 2022 (and only in 1 article) before it started gaining traction, we must ask ourselves the following questions if we are truly interested in pursuing the scientific method: 1. Did the authors categorize the test subjects by those who had received the COVID-19 injection and those who had not? 2. If not, how do we rule out these effects being long-term effects from the experimental injections which cause people's bodies to continually produce the Spike protein the authors discuss in their paper as being the cause of the "fibrinaloid clots"? 3.Isn't this continual production of Spike induced by the injections something that should be controlled for to answer the question one way or another?

Suggestions: Test for "fibrinaloid clots" in subjects who have had confirmed COVID-19 and categorize them by how many experimental injections they received; include patients who received none. Then plot the number of experimental injections per patient on the x axis and the detected microclot size on the y axis.

Best regards to all.

Likely because you're attempting to spread some form of anti-vax nonsense.

Yeah the paper is just lying. “Long Covid” is just a typical response to a severe flu. Many people are just ignorant of the fact that flus can weaken the immune system past the initial infection. It’s well meaning attempt to understand common flu symptoms but they are just relating to COVID to get more clicks and funding.

Did you actually look at any part of the paper? Their approach is not some hand-wavy qualitative measure. They are measuring an actual phenomenon in people with known COVID infections. If you have a methodological problem with the paper, try using facts next time.

No didn’t read the paper. Yes it’s it’s extremely hand wavy of measurement. You can’t develop a methodology to determine if you have a chronic disease in less time then a a disease can be discovered are determined to be chronic. Duh.

Yeah sounds like you get your medical advice from the Kremlin. There no conspiracy to hide the medical benefits of leaching, can you imagine if that actually worked? Every doctor in the world would have to be a complete moron not to notice.

I don't know why they decided to use the term "blood letting" but I'm pretty sure some of the benefits being talked about in the response also come from donating blood (which is essentially the same thing)? You calling it "leaching" doesn't seem good faith

Yeah it’s not in good faith. I think it’s really stupid obviously misinformation. Duh.

I won't make a claim to the accuracy of the numbers, but I can offer an example of how long COVID can be undercounted. My daughter was a competitive long distance runner. Months after recovering from the acute symptoms of COVID, her performance numbers were still about 10% down and no amount of training would allow her to reach her previous level of performance. After many visits to doctors and specialists, she was e…

It's a pretty sad reflection of the times that there's a need to create a throwaway account to talk about long COVID symptoms, but this is a good personal anecdote to draw attention to what's likely happening. In my case, I only caught covid once - somepoint last year just before I would've gotten the updated booster. It took me well over a year to stop having acute pulmonary issues, and my lung performance is down y…

This, and also brain fog – which unless it is truly debilitating is hard to prove, hard to treat, and can feel pointless to talk about after a while. You won't necessarily hear people talk about "having Long Covid" unless their symptoms are easily measurable and debilitating in a key area of their life. 20% sounds viable to me, too.

I suspect many people commit the grave sin of mixing data sources to derive percentages, which seems almost impossible not to do in this case. I also strongly suspect that rates of infection (the denominator in question) were inflated to some extent during the pandemic as insurers and hmo were incentivized to detect covid even when it may not have been the primary reason for presenting. There were also disincentives…

The reported rates might have been inflated compared to what people presented with, but wastewater tracking and excess death measures all suggest that as a whole, infections were severely under-counted, possibly by a factor of up to over 2x. Majority of the studies on myocarditis after vaccination found very low rates, with close to zero moderate to serious cases, and a full return to baseline of whatever the metrics…

So if we were undercounting the denominator and over-counting the numerator (long covid) that would support my initial conjecture right?
