• "Long Covid" -- Fake News on RNZ

    From Willy Nilly@21:1/5 to All on Thu Dec 28 00:46:48 2023
    A BS article on the non-existent "Long Covid" is at https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/505645/life-with-long-covid-what-it-s-really-like


    Broadly, "Long Covid" is gaslighting for the true culprit, "Long
    Vaccine", which is a non-permitted topic in NZ. That the vaccine is responsible is clearly shown by that no unvaxxed have "long Covid", in particular since Omicron came on at the start of 2022. To repeat,
    *ALL* long-Covidians from 2022 onwards are fully-vaxxed. Therefore
    the topic of vaccination status is proscribed from all news articles
    on "Long Covid".

    The cited news story gives 4 examples of people suffering from the
    "Long Covid" chimera. Let's inspect each in turn:

    (1) "caught Covid-19 in late 2022" -- despite full vaxx (unstated by
    article of course). 3 children but no husband? Professional welfare
    recipient is my guess. Silent on possible vaxx injury.

    (2) "suffering since November 2022". Did he catch Covid -- article
    does not say. Article is silent on possible vaxx injury. Tinnitus is mentioned, a well-known vaxx injury.

    (3) "caught Covid-19 in February 2022" -- dang those safe & effective
    vaccines. Unquestionably she got her symptoms straight after getting
    her booster shot, a topic rigorously avoided by the article. However,
    the article states she's already had chronic fatigue syndrome, so just
    more of the same, right? Why now promoted to "Long Covid"?

    (4) the obligatory pre-2022 case, "developed symptoms in 2020" without specifying that he ever got Covid. Furthermore, he has never been
    able to obtain a "Long Covid" diagnosis from the doctors in spite of
    trying for 3 years! So the doctors say he doesn't have "Long Covid",
    and yet he is presented in this article as being a "Long Covid"
    sufferer! I call that Fake News -- what do you call it?

    2 years ago I warned on this newsgroup that vaxx injuries would be
    disguised as "Long Covid" for as long as possible, and that is how it
    is and will be. This article is just the latest instance of ongoing gaslighting and disinformation by the authorities who know that they
    themselves are responsible for all this sickness.

    Correlation does not imply causation; Willy Nilly, and I have seen no
    evidence that "*ALL* long-Covidians from 2022 onwards are
    fully-vaxxed"

    One of the articles with a link on the same page as the article you
    referenced above is : https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/saturday/audio/2018899512/prof-danny-altmann-the-burden-of-long-covid
    and from that article:
    " The research showed Covid-19 vaccinations are effective and
    important in reducing the chances of getting long Covid.

    "The vaccinations have been amazing and miraculous, and have worked
    terribly well and got the planet out of a terrible fix. Otherwise who
    knows where we'd be now in terms of our mortality and our misery and
    our economies - they've worked very well, Altmann says.

    "The best way to not get long Covid is to not get Covid, and the best
    way to not get Covid is to be well vaccinated and boosted and have a
    good level of antibodies to stop the virus getting in."

    "And yet we know perfectly well that there were many people who were
    vaccinated who did get breakthrough infections and some of those have
    gone on to get long Covid, but we know that in those breakthrough
    cases in the vaccinated people, your chance of long Covid is further
    reduced perhaps by another 50 percent.

    "So it doesn't get you off the hook completely, but it certainly helps
    your odds." "

    Gaslighting -- he "knows" nothing of the sort -- he clouds what he's
    comparing to, and says "perhaps" as an all-purpose disclaimer. If
    he's pretending to be comparing to the unvaxxed, then he's totally
    lying, because there is no set (thus no published set) of unvaxxed to
    compare to -- the denominator is flat zero -- UNLESS he's including
    pre-Omicron or Y2020 people, a shell game to deceive.

    You deleted your initial post, Willy Nilly - perhaps because it offers
    no evidence to support your assertions. The article you reference did
    give four examples, but in none of them did it say whether the person
    had or had not been vaccinated. Perhaps you have other evidence . . .

    Nice try but still no evidence . . .

    Trust you to try to divert the topic from Covid and its effects to
    party politics, Tony. National, Labour and The Green Party all
    understand the benefit of vaccination,

    Let us not forget that there are many vaccines on the market/in use. Not all are of the Phizer type.

    The issue we are not allowed to talk about is the excess deaths following
    the Covid jab.

    (Sorry going off topic)




    and generally reply on evidence
    (not shown in this case). When pushed, ACT and NZ First also support vaccination, although NZ First in particular will try to avoid
    discussion about it, as both those parties tried to attract votes from
    the nutter parties that it had become evident would just represent
    wasted votes.

    So keep to the topic, Tony - and see if you can provide any evidence
    that ALL those with long Covid were vaccinated. Even if that were true however, the percentage unvaccinated is quite low, and some of those
    may have got long Covid but are not prepared to admit that they were
    not vaccinated . . . Evidence of assertions does help at times -
    responding with irrelevancies less so . . .

    Here is another website that gives a bit more information.

    Both those that were vaccinated and those that were not can get long
    Covid:

    "People More Likely to Develop Long COVID
    Some people may be more at risk for developing Long COVID.

    Researchers are working to understand which people or groups of people
    are more likely to have Long COVID, and why. Studies have shown that
    some groups of people may be affected more by Long COVID. These are
    examples and not a comprehensive list of people or groups who might be
    more at risk than other groups for developing Long COVID:

    People who have experienced more severe COVID-19 illness, especially
    those who were hospitalized or needed intensive care.
    People who had underlying health conditions prior to COVID-19.
    People who did not get a COVID-19 vaccine."

    and
    "Preventing Long COVID
    The best way to prevent Long COVID is to protect yourself and others
    from becoming infected. For people who are eligible, CDC recommends
    staying up to date on COVID-19 vaccination, along with improving
    ventilation, getting tested for COVID-19 if needed, and seeking
    treatment for COVID-19 if eligible. Additional preventative measures
    include avoiding close contact with people who have a confirmed or
    suspected COVID-19 illness and washing hands or using alcohol-based
    hand sanitizer.

    Research suggests that people who get a COVID-19 infection after
    vaccination are less likely to report Long COVID, compared to people
    who are unvaccinated.

    CDC, other federal agencies, and non-federal partners are working to
    identify further measures to lessen a person’s risk of developing Long
    COVID. Learn more about protecting yourself and others from COVID-19."

    There is also a section giving links to data.

    Trust you to try to divert the topic from Covid and its effects to

    I did not do that you half wit.
    Deleted the actual diversion by you.

    There is no greater deceiver than the party faithful.

    Trust you to try to divert the topic from Covid and its effects to
    party politics, Tony. National, Labour and The Green Party all
    understand the benefit of vaccination,

    Let us not forget that there are many vaccines on the market/in use. Not all >are of the Phizer type.

    The issue we are not allowed to talk about is the excess deaths following
    the Covid jab.
    I am not aware of any restrictions, Gordon - who is not allowing such discussion?


    (Sorry going off topic)




    and generally reply on evidence
    (not shown in this case). When pushed, ACT and NZ First also support
    vaccination, although NZ First in particular will try to avoid
    discussion about it, as both those parties tried to attract votes from
    the nutter parties that it had become evident would just represent
    wasted votes.

    So keep to the topic, Tony - and see if you can provide any evidence
    that ALL those with long Covid were vaccinated. Even if that were true
    however, the percentage unvaccinated is quite low, and some of those
    may have got long Covid but are not prepared to admit that they were
    not vaccinated . . . Evidence of assertions does help at times -
    responding with irrelevancies less so . . .

    The article you reference did give four examples, but in none of

    If you actually wanted to discuss those 4 cases, Rich, you would have
    replied to the OP which showcased those 4 cases.

    Both those that were vaccinated and those that were not can get long

    and

    Nothing there actually refutes what the OP is saying - it is just alternative data and opinions. and we know both can be wrong. Your problem is that you reject other peoples posts out of bias and refuse to engage in debate. Typical of sociopaths.
