I'm hopeful that research into whatever "long covid" syndrome is/isn't leads to excellent new medical knowledge that applies to much more than just COVID edge-cases. I suddenly got similar symptoms since getting a nasty version of strep throat last October. Notably I had an elevated fever (>102F) for quite a few days straight.

It used to be maybe once or twice a year I'd notice 1-3 seconds of "off-beat" heart pattern. All of of a sudden it's a few times a week. I'm also getting older (entering mid 30's now) This is my situation exactly, starting a few weeks after getting my second booster (Moderna). I've read enough a…

Out of curiosity, if you noticed these negative side-effects affecting the health of your heart after the second shot, why did you choose to proceed to get a third shot?

>a group of vocal doctors who get ignored or suppressed by the media You make it sound so ominous. But if you look them up they have gotten a ton of coverage from all kinds of media. Pierre Kory et. al. has also published (and are still publishing) numerous articles in (non hoax/predatory) science journals. Sure they are critiqued, but that is what happens when you go against a majority opinion (disciplinary not popu…

Currently the Japanese ministry of health recommends that ivermectin only be used as a potential COVID treatment in clinical trials. It's not otherwise authorized. Some physicians do prescribe it off label, and it's possible that could have affected the course of the pandemic in Japan, but at this point we have no reliable data either way.

I had similar symptoms in January 2019, I went to Urgent Care and then the ER because of heart arrhythmia, I felt sick, but no major fever. I put it down to anxiety (never suffered with before), but part of me wonders if it was COVID. Out of curiosity, where do you live? I too live next to a bunch of chemical/steel plants and have been tracking air quality, weather, traffic, etc. https://millerbeach.community in Gary…

Vaccines are not Covid. Even the inactivated virus ones. They're just a very small viral load with an adjuvant to enhance immune response.

The mRNA vaccines create spike proteins which are fully functional and will bind to ACE2 receptors. The only real difference is that the mRNA vaccine spike proteins don't cleave off their connectors and litter your blood with extra trash and also won't flex down to the cell wall. But any cell randomly getting a spike protein tag-alone likely will no longer be a fully functioning cell.

Yes! And I think it's fair to assume that the vaccine spike can distribute widely throughout your body. Long covid and a subset of vaccine injury cases are very hard to distinguish. They present the same symptoms.

It was my understanding that the existence of “long covid” is still debated as there hasn’t been any real evidence for it other than patient anecdotes.

It has a strong following on HN. Personally, I haven’t heard about it anywhere else.

The news media is kind of fickle about coverage about anything that doesn't get more ad revenue/impressions. Everyone's filter-bubble affects what they see. At least last July it got a minor boost of awareness from the White House:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/biden-ada-long-covid...

Medically it just seems to fall outside the flowcharts of modern medicine where an "easy fix" or "procedure" is not prescribed. Going outside of the "acceptable medicine" of what insurance will cover is practically a unicorn event. So you'll see a lot of doctors just calling it "anxiety." Functionally, Long Haul Covid has become a huge cash bonus to medicine as sufferers get referred (passed around) from specialist to specialist for more testing and diagnostics that nearly always comes up as "normal."

About the only good news about this situation is very likely once they really get the studies done (and they're going to have to do it, because there will be millions of people suffering from this) they are likely also going to find how to help people with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) since all the long hauling symptoms appear to over lap. CFS sufferers already have had the feeling of being ignored/ridiculed by medicine for decades.

I'd urge anyone suffering long covid to take a look at the FLCCC protocol for treating it. Results were immediate for myself and I've seen tens of others that have followed it resolve their issues.

Talking about bans is not an open debate about an actual subject - it's just more dodging/suppression of dissenting opinion. Discourse around dissent of the popular narrative is simply not allowed and indeed you are doing the same. Deflecting to talking about bans/access, rather than the pro's/con's of treatments other than just the vaccines for COVID. Gives people like you the comfort of being open minded without ac…

> Discourse around dissent of the popular narrative is simply not allowed What are you talking about? You're dissenting right here. People do it in the national press daily, as they have been for literally years now on this particular topic. No, what certain people don't like is that their preferred narratives aren't taken as seriously as they want. So whining about "suppressing dissent" is a more palatable explanati…

Dissenting and getting downvoted, kind of proving the point.

My experience living in a county and working in an industry that are both dominated by one particular way of thinking given to them by authority figures (CDC, New York Times, etc.) is that if you step outside that way of thinking and pose fairly innocuous questions that challenge it, two things happen: you lose all credibility, and you get called pretty bad things (racist, conspiracist, etc). That alone is pretty detrimental to pushing the envelope with hard conversations.

I have no doubt (and hear) that what I personally experience is also happening across the media and entertainment industry resulting in groupthink even inside the rooms that are supposed to be doing journalism and asking the hard questions that criticize and question authority.

As I type these words, it's almost as if the root of this is whether you trust those in "authoritative" roles, or not. And fear for ones health turns us against each other if we feel like those authoritative figures are either helping, or hurting.

Anyways. If you think what Bari does is whine, that's too bad. Of the growing band of "counter-narrative" folks (Glenn Greenwald, Bari, Matt Taibi, Russell Brand, etc.) she's rock solid in her reporting and I oftentimes feel like she's doing what journalism should be doing. Spend a bit more time actually reading (or listening) to her. She covers a gambit of topics.

Is this the FLCCC that pushes ivermectin (a fine worm killer, but no panacea) for covid?

Why would fibrinolytics have any therapeutic effect? They are not anti coagulants (i.e. serine protease inhibitors), and work via an entirely different mechanism.

Absolutely not anti-coagulants. They work in conjunction with them to break up clots and absolutely have many different mechanisms. I use six of those mechanisms for controlling blood pressure. The article topic covers fibrin amyloid microclots which is precisely what many surgeons have used these enzymes for in addition to removing scar tissue from the vasculature. On a side note this is a very divided and heated to…

You're specifically using compounds like nattokinase to control blood pressure?

Would be interested in hearing what your approach here is, or any literature you could share.

Because I had been wearing those same shoes for years with the exact same level of tightness and never in my life had swollen feet problem before. The bruising was also following the lines of the shoes which is how it was discovered it was related to the shoe tightness

None of that implies that COVID was the cause. It could just be a coincidence.
