Long-term INCREASED RISK OF DEATH among those who "recovered" from Covid-19 WITHOUT being hospitalized--

Ya know, China obviously has a population problem, so much so that they made a law that people can't have more than one or two kids. Now, this virus was likely created in a lab in China. Their government is known for their abrupt disregard for humans and human life at the expense of the regime. This virus is probably some long term population curbing experiment by them. The fact that the vaccines may cause infertility also backs that theory up.

Fatties gonna fat. Elderlies gonna elderly. Circle of life continues. Most people in nursing homes are one virus away from the ICU. Many Americans are one serious illness away from a chronic medical condition or disability.

Hmmmm, kind of vague....reminds me of the chicken and the egg....it's a good excuse for the pharmaceutical companies to push more drugs and vaccines.

So, the first three responses apparently from people who didn't actually READ and DIGEST the story.

Anybody else?

Just going to point out the obvious. Considering the majority of healthy people don't have symptoms and many never even know if they get COVID those people aren't going to be included in this study. So if you aren't including the healthiest slice of the population who was asymptomatic and only including people who had COVID symptoms and as a whole were likely less healthy it is not surprising that the unhealthy group would be at higher risk of death. If the healthy people who never knew they had COVID were to be included it would drive down the risk of long-term health issues.

I don’t have access to the times on my phone. Do you have a link to the journal article it references? Generally speaking though, was seen as a micro vascular disease of inflammation and thrombosis, it would not surprise me that even a mild degree of microvascular disease could produce an increase in long-term risk. Those risks would be distributed throughout the body, and may contribute the the post Covid “brain fog” some experience.

What a shocker when 88% of Americans are already metabolically ill.

Your choice of title was bad, as the long term risk of death is unchanged, at 100%. But the study says the short term risk of death goes up.

Try again.

"The researchers also could not say if people had underlying health conditions and whether their new symptoms were direct effects of their coronavirus infection, corollary effects of medications they were taking to treat some of the symptoms, stress from other pandemic-related problems or other influences. "

People have been sounding this alarm for almost a year now. From very early on, scientist realized that COVID 19 was not a respiratory virus. It is a vascular virus. And from very early on, COVID deniers have been focusing on fatality rates because they knew that the virus was very dangerous for people who were able to survive it.

Shame on public health officials for not being more direct about the dangers of COVID 19 beyond death and hospitalization. The messaging from very early on should have been that this is a dangerous virus, period. You do not want to get it at all. Instead, public health officials succumbed to political pressure and focused on trying to assess risk and by implication gave certain age groups a green light to go out and get exposed. That was a huge mistake.

I know a collegiate soccer player who had to quit after getting myocarditis through a COVID 19 infection. She now has to go in for regular heart monitoring for the rest of her life and will never be able to play soccer again. I know a professional chef who has been without her sense of smell and taste for eight months. She is having to go to physical therapy to try to retrain her sense of taste and smell and is pretty much worthless in the kitchen right now. I know a college professor who is on his sixth month of medical leave after getting COVID. He has brain fog and difficulty breathing. He had severe scarring from pneumonia from COVID and spent a week in the hospital. All of these people were perfectly healthy and age ranged from 20 to late 30s.

COVID 19 is the terrorist of infectious diseases. You cannot negotiate with it. You have to eliminate it. Every country that has taken anything short of an elimination approach has seen COVID come roaring back time and time again and only mutate to be more contagious and dangerous.

The one thing I would disagree with is the ability to prevent variants. National policy is virtually irrelevant on this topic. As long as there is a large international reservoir of vulnerable people, the proliferation of variants will continue.

I know quite a few younger men who were not in bad shape, relative to the population, and yet who got prolonged, non-hospitalization cases of COVID and have not gotten all better. They'd had months of breathing issues, etc.

I find this hard to believe that you personally know all of these supposed cases, particularly the soccer player. The odds of a professional athlete having any serious heart problems with covid are infinitesimal. Also, the statement that she needs regular heart monitoring for the rest of her life and she is permanently unable to play soccer is not believable. Either you’re making this up or she is.

I am far more concerned about the long term effects of these vaccines.

Precious makes up most of what he says, or at least he gets made up information from CNN and the Times; 2 major disinformation outlets.

This new study needs to be carefully weighed against the imaginary long term risk of vaccines.

COVID is serious and causes long term damage, but the vaccines might possibly do the same if I dream up enough fantasy mechanisms.

The J&J vaccine will be restarted - with a warning.

Hey, take this shot. There's only a tiny chance it will give you fatal blood clots.

Orwellian effed up depravity. Welcome to the brave new world.

Don't worry--the manufacturers have complete and lasting immunity.

Yes.

Very comforting for us guinea pigs
