Long Covid is a Social Construct
Sequelae from viral infection are very real; our magical mythical shape-shifting Long Covid syndrome, not so much.
Mass containment is no longer in the growth phase, and those who remain committed to viral hysteria must now ponder what they’ll do next. The greater part of them, excepting a few Zero-Covid deadenders, will soon decamp to the Land of Long Covid. This has been clear for a long time now; you can see it in their tweets and in the gathering momentum of Long Covid research. Here our hystericists hope to find a source of funding and social relevance that will endure after the rest of the Corona Circus has folded up the tables and gone home.
Nobody disputes that some nontrivial number of people suffer chronic sequelae from SARS-2 infection, just as they don’t dispute that the vaccines have injured a great many and killed no few. But, our overlords have constructed Long Covid maximally, allowing the syndrome to encompass nearly everything that befalls anyone who has ever tested positive. Stomach pain, brain fog, anxiety, depression, fidgitiness, irritability, insomnia and thousands of other things can all be Long Covid. The contrast with Long Vaccine could not be more total. Almost nothing that happens to anyone following vaccination can be put down to the vaccines, and any vaccine injuries that survive this isolated demand for rigour are said by the Corona prophets to be vastly more mild and vastly more seldom than complications from infection.
