I must confess that I hadn't clicked on Light's link before I typed my last post.
Now I have and I've just seen this:
Quote:“We believe it is time to stop using terms like ‘Long COVID’,” declared Dr. John Gerrard, Queensland’s Chief Health Officer.
What a surprise (not) to see that Dr. John "Dr. Death"/"Lex Luthor" Gerrard is behind this.
The same dangerous idiot who stated 2 years ago that it was 'necessary' for everyone to be infected with Covid.
Queenslanders told spread of COVID strain of Omicron is 'necessary' — what does that mean?Why hasn't Gerrard been sacked yet? (Hint: because he tells his government and big business exactly what they want to hear - at the expense of peoples' health and in many cases, lives).
Here's another link regarding this "bombshell":
‘Long COVID’ doesn’t exist as we know it, according to new research - The Sydney Morning Herald Quote:The research, led by Queensland’s chief health officer Dr John Gerrard, followed about 2400 people who caught COVID-19 and about 2700 people with other respiratory infections, including influenza.
A year after infection, 3 per cent of people who were COVID-positive reported moderate to severe impairment (that is long COVID). Among the people who had caught the flu or another respiratory illness, it was 4.1 per cent.
So, Gerrard comes to his 'conclusion' that Long Covid doesn't exist after looking at studies involving a mere two and a half thousand people? Unbelievable.
Quote:Jeremy Nicholson, professor of medicine at Murdoch University, said without lab analysis of the patients in Gerrard’s study or knowing for sure that long COVID is not physiologically different to other post-viral syndromes, the evidence to dismiss it as distinct condition is not there.
“Until this is resolved, we should still use the long COVID term because it pinpoints exactly the underlying viral cause for a given individual,” which may be relevant to future treatments, Nicholson said.
Quote:Patients who had been diagnosed with the syndrome are outraged by the researchers’ call to retire the phrase, while other experts have said they were unable to understand how such a conclusion was drawn.
Yes. But it starts to become clear how this conclusion was drawn once you see that Dr. Death is involved.
And...

The poorly designed BMJ study (that he’s second author on ie he did nothing) was released almost a year ago
So why now?
Follow the money 💰💰💰
Follow the lawsuits that are aiming at govt
I agree 100%
Oh, and Light... I wouldn't rely too much on
The People's Voice for your information.
The People's Voice (website) Quote:The People's Voice (formerly known as NewsPunch and Your News Wire) is an American fake news website based in Los Angeles. The site was founded as Your News Wire in 2014 by Sean Adl-Tabatabai and his husband, Sinclair Treadway.
In November 2018, it rebranded itself as NewsPunch. Your News Wire was revived as a separate website in November 2020, and has continued publishing hoaxes similar to those in NewsPunch. In 2023, NewsPunch adopted its current name, The People's Voice.
A 2017 BuzzFeed News report identified NewsPunch as being the second-largest source of popular fake stories spread on Facebook that year, and a June 2018 Poynter analysis identified NewsPunch as being debunked over 80 times in 2017 and 2018 by Poynter-accredited factcheckers such as Snopes, FactCheck.org, PolitiFact, and the Associated Press.
This also doesn't come as a surprise when it comes to dealing with Light.
