The weirdest thing about “long covid” is that it only affects liberal women who look like this pic.twitter.com/pqgO9zejks

I could have told you this.
If someone would have asked me “what’s up with long Covid???” I would have said “it’s a stupid hoax and the people who claim to have it are just dumb.”
Health problems and brain fog can persist for years in people hospitalised by Covid early in the pandemic, with some patients developing more severe and even new symptoms after 12 months, researchers say.
They found that while many people with long Covid improved over time, a substantial proportion still had cognitive problems two to three years later and saw symptoms of depression, anxiety and fatigue worsen rather than subside.
The scientists studied long Covid in 475 people who were hospitalised with the virus before vaccines were available, to learn whether brain fog, fatigue and mental health problems persisted or emerged beyond the first year.
While the researchers had no information on the participants’ thinking skills before they got Covid, cognitive tests two to three years later showed that on average patients’ IQs were 10 points lower than expected for their age, education and other factors. One in nine showed signs of “severe cognitive deficits”, which equate to an IQ 30 points lower than expected.
…
More than one in four people in the study changed occupation after catching the virus, often because they could no longer face the cognitive demands of their job.
Some of the people having persistent health problems since the Covid era are presumably suffering from side effects of the vaccine. I’m sure that’s some portion of the “long Covid” people.
Also, maybe the vax lowers your IQ? That would be sort of hilarious.
By the way, I’m not committing to that position, I’m just saying – it would be funny if the vax lowered your IQ by 30 points, and the entire conspiracy was to make everyone retarded.
There is definitely some kind of conspiracy.
These vax people are ridiculous.
SEND IN THE TROOPS! Zealous vaccine scientist Dr. Peter Hotez is calling for NATO, Homeland Security, and the DOJ to use military force to silence what he is calling “anti-vaccine aggression.”
