so you are saying

"believe the science" and your backing that up with a spoof professor 

and you have the hide to criticise dr john gerrard


Dr John Gerrard, Chief Health Officer
BSc (Med) MB BS (Syd) MSc (Microbiology) DLSHTM DTM&H (Lon) FRACP

Dr Gerrard was appointed Chief Health Officer for Queensland Health in December 2021. He was the long-term Director of Infectious Diseases at the Gold Coast Hospital, where he was instrumental in the design the Gold Coast University Hospital, which has been at the front line of Queensland’s COVID-19 response.

A leading infectious disease specialist, Dr Gerrard identified Australia’s earliest known case of AIDS early in his career. He has since been involved in malaria vaccine trials and has worked internationally to strengthen pandemic preparedness, including travel to Sierra Leone during the 2014 West African Ebola epidemic, where he helped establish Australia’s first Ebola Treatment Centre. He was awarded the Australian Humanitarian Overseas Service Medal for this work.

Psst... hey, aquascoot.

I went to see my GP today for regular blood tests and a checkup and while I was there I told him that for the past couple of weeks I've been having some minor breathing issues... kind of a 'wheezing' effect with a bit of coughing, usually first thing in the morning.

After checking my breathing he said everything seems pretty OK at the moment but we both came to the same conclusion... it is probably caused by Covid after I caught it for the first time 3 months ago and it's just started to show up now.

And that was after I've had 5 Covid vaccinations.

So, if I'm out and about shopping with my KN95 mask on and someone comes up to me and asks me why I'm still wearing a mask they'd better watch out from now on.

"mild respiratory virus" and "just a cold" my @ss. I've never had anything like this happen before, even after bad cases of the flu.

But don't worry... I've doubled my efforts to ensure I don't catch Covid again because I certainly don't want it to disable me to the point where I can't post here anymore... after all, someone has to be here to respond to your stupid posts (yes, I know it's a thankless 'job').

yep

just people who want a label (presumably with centrelink benefits like a disability pension) so they can get around in their pyjamas all day.


oh i'm so tired
i'm so weak

canberra

please send me some money for my netflix and uber eats 

Due to continuing government inaction and their ignoring of Long Covid (and Covid itself) people have started to take matters into their own hands in an attempt to inform the population.

The same thing has also been done in the UK.

Long Covid patients slam the UK Medical Research Council’s lack of response to billboard campaign

About time too. One billboard was seen here in Perth last week - see attached picture.

hi there carl,

we already have a diagnosis for people with "over 200 symptoms"

we call them "hypochondriacs"

LOL...

Not so at all.  Carl (and me) both carry out our due diligence with
regard to COVID and its vaccines, and so-called "long COVID".

Far too many people here simply don't do that, and rely on silly
3rd-party memes, or conspiracy theorists such as Pierre Kory,
David Icke, Sean Hannity, Peter McCullough, Sherri Tenpenny,
John Campbell, Alex Jones, Mike Adams, Andrew Wakefield,
and numerous other quacks.

To denounce people who keep up to date and well-informed about
any viral epidemic that's already killed more than 7 million people
is the height of *ignorance, and a true example of a "head in the
sand" attitude.   How sad.  What are they afraid of?   The truth?

   (*Particularly as Australia has recorded
   388 new cases in the past seven days.)

Suddenly the question is - which science to follow?
Suddenly, the science is not settled. It is unsettled.  Might this also apply to other aspects to science that have been declared 'settled'?

"Long COVID may be nothing unique in the future—but its effects today are still very real."   
—Epidemiologist Gideon Meyerowitz-Katz, MPh, PhD, 23 March 2024.

Long COVID is one of the most controversial topics remaining about the pandemic.
Depending on who you ask, it is either a real and current threat to the health of the
globe, or a relatively minor issue that we should pay little attention to in the future.
It is hard to weigh in on the topic without passionate advocates taking issue with
the things that you say, which is true of quite a lot of the conversations we have had
over the course of the pandemic.

The problem, however, is that a lot of people were infected in 2020 and
2021, before we had vaccines and treatments to reduce the severity
of the disease. There is no question that a large group of people are
still suffering serious problems from their initial COVID infection, many
of them years after first getting sick.

And herein lies the problem with long COVID discussions. There are two
separate conversations going on at the same time. We can talk about the
future, which seems a bit brighter—long COVID rates are down drastically,
and people who got infected with COVID are now about as likely to experience
serious, long-lasting issues as people who got influenza in 2019. But we
also have to acknowledge the large number of people seriously injured by
COVID in the early stages of the pandemic who may never recover their health.
