Saw this article earlier about long COVID and people trying to bring awareness to it. I thought it died out years ago as COVID fell off the air.
Who reckons it's just laziness combined with psychosomatics?

It's also vax damage.
Ding ding ding! This is the answer.
This. And it's also something that companies and governments can milk to high heaven, even more-so since the possible effects are so wide ranging and inconsistent, so they could encourage psychosomatic symptoms just through the psychological pressure and attention alone.
Long covid is the same thing as fibromyalgia and the same thing as chronic Lyme disease and the same thing as chronic fatigue syndrome.
I'd also put gulf war syndrome into this category.
My sister is vaxxed to the max and has had covid twice since she got boosted. She also has shingles, heart problems, and is probably going to have to get a hysterectomy. Now they might be due to other issues. But all this shit has hit her in the past 6 months. I am noticing a connection.
It's awful what these vaxxes do to people. While most vaxxed people that I know are fine, I've had relatives that developed MS, autoimmune hepatitis, muscle spasms, and other serious complications. One relative even died within 72 hours of getting the shot.
The autoimmune stuff is wild. My dad was diagnosed with MS about 20 years ago. He got the first one of the coof shots then got the kungflu. he didn't get the second shot or any boosters. After he recovered from covid a lot of his ms symptoms were reduced. He also likes cilantro and all things pickled now and he used to hate them before. Covid, the vaxxer, or getting box rewrote parts of his system.
The cilantro and pickled stuff makes sense, because COVID can mess with you sense of taste and smell. While I had COVID, I couldn't taste sweet things for a little while. One my friends had COVID, and for two months everything tasted terrible to him.
It's probably group psychosis by those that are braindead enough to think men can have periods and that to avoid salmonella you need to wash your chicken in bleach.
The lazy have better excuses than that.
multiple studies are out at this point repeatedly confirming that "long covid", other than loss of taste/smell, is psychosomatic. in other words, it doesn't exist. the "brain fog" and other shit people are making up is all in their heads.
Academic "researchers" are still getting in on the grift too though. I heard from a family member the other day about a new funded Long Covid study. Apparently "Long Covid" means symptoms last more than 30 days.
Yeah, it's a dumb PR stunt that is probably only being pulled to try to get herself some connections.
Gamers will play this about as much as they did with the PETA mods from a few years ago, lol.
Chronic cough after any respiratory infection is a possibility.
I've been saying this would be a thing since early 2020, and coulda told ya it would happen in 2013 after any cold or flu.
Yeah it's gunna cause some chronic cough, and some post viral fatigue/post viral syndrome... (under a few names) in some people. This is to be expected! But nobody is asking if it causes it more or less than say, rhinovirus or influenza.
The issue with 'long covid' is you almost never see any research trying to differentiate it from the previously known difficulties that can follow any respiratory infection. That's how you know an article is bollocks, if it doesn't make any mention of those conditions we've known about and been treating for decades.
I had the coof back in 2020, it knocked me on my arse for a couple of days; then other symptoms disappeared in the weeks to follow, I didn't get any of the jabs. Long symptoms aren't completely unheard of, but from something which is equivalent to the flu it just seems odd..
These things do make me wonder if these people caught it then panicked and took the vax, or if they have other issues... I guess we'll have to wait for someone with balls to collate the data on such things and try to build some conclusions from it.
I would get a sinus infection that would lead to bronchitis every spring and fall for about a decade. Even when I didnt have an active infection I suffered from a persistent cough. Since then I have cleaned up my diet and got better mentally. I still get sinus infections but they rarely progress to bronchitis anymore and if I get a cough its tied to something and resolves quickly. I think so much of this long covid stuff is the spike proteins redamaging tissues.
It was called malingering before now.
No such thing as long covid. It's the immune compromised as they have aids now from the jabs. It's likely the non jabbed got shed on so if they're affected It's because their spouse got the shot and they didnt.
I'm sure a fair number likely are, though I think there may be some odd exceptions. It could easily cause a lot of those symptoms if it jacked up the digestive tract at all (namely, the gut). Alternatively I suppose it could exacerbate pre-existing issues of that sort as well. But it's not something that should be totally untreatable or stupidly complicated to address.
Unfortunately, the entire thing is being blown up and elevated by a lot of charlatans, all while shoving vaccine related issues under the rug.
No, it was definitely a thing.
Both times I had covid, I had vestibular issues for 2-3 months afterwards.
It'll be a thing as long as people are living with vaxx damage and the establishment is trying to cover for it.
As much as "fibromyalgia", "chronic fatigue", and depression is a thing.
Just an excuse that fat people, women, and mostly fat women use to paint anyone who holds them accountable for their poor decision making as the bad guy.
There's a few explanations for Long COVID, and I think that all of these are true to some varying extent.
The spike protein of the SARS-Cov-2 virus is uniquely cytotoxic and can damage a wide variety of different cell types, because it binds to the ACE-2 receptor, a receptor that is present in: heart, intestine, testicle, kidney, and gallbladder cells. It's not unthinkable that a severe COVID infection could do some lasting damage.
The spike protein leads us to another explanation: the COVID shots. Every iteration of the COVID shot involves the spike protein in some fashion, and the majority of them work by causing the body to mass-produce spike protein. Also, the nanolipid particles, that the mRNA is encased in, are also toxic to many types of cells. The shots probably account for most cases of "Long COVID".
Another potential factor is oxygen deprivation. Some of the symptoms of Long COVID include brain fog and fatigue. Those symptoms would be consistent with oxygen deprivation, and chronic mask-wearers are more likely to complain of Long COVID, in my experience. Maskers get COVID, believe they have Long COVID, wear their masks even more, and their symptoms get worse.
Finally, a certain amount of this is likely psychosomatic.
It's believed enough in places like Washington State
