Can you give me some studies about the frequency of long covid or other things about impact? I am skeptical but definitely open to learning.

jgreen63.bsky.social•3 days ago

There are so many studies that this looks like sealioning! Why are you skeptical? Where have you looked so far?

videoguy.bsky.social•3 days ago

I don't know what sea lioning means. I haven't looked. My skepticism is based on the complexity of the symptoms and other mass hysteria events in history. I am not arguing anything. I'm genuinely interested in hard science on this and thought someone could point me to compelling information.

jgreen63.bsky.social•3 days ago

Sealioning is pretty much what you did. It's a request that people provide the research evidence for a well-established phenomenon, instead of just looking for it. This is different from asking for people to provide the evidence base for assertions when there really isn't any.

videoguy.bsky.social•3 days ago

I agree that long Covid is well established as a phenomenon. I follow hard science daily and have never seen a study showing the cause of that phenomenon was Covid 19. So I asked for that. I have now looked at the cdc website research links on this and they don’t have any either I could find.

So I’ve looked. I am simply asking for a couple of links of science that you found compelling. It is weird everyone is reacting emotionally to a simple and normal scientific request.

It's the casual use of the "mass hysteria" phrase which gives the game away.

You can start with the research mentioned in the article. “I haven’t looked” and then talking about mass hysteria… please do better.

videoguy.bsky.social•3 days ago

I don’t have access to the article. I then just went to the cdc website and looked at the research on it. Not one study was about causation in the abstracts. Just correlations. So I ask again. I looked. Where is the study that shows definitively COVID 19 causes long COVID. I genuinely would read.

“I don’t have access to the article”. I’m not your secretary.

This study found that people infected with COVID were about 5 times as likely to develop ME/CFS, one form of long COVID, compared to those who were not infected.

Also found prevalence of about 4.5% of people infected had ME/CFS, and 39.8% were "ME/CFS-like" (1+ symptom of ME/CFS criteria).

Thanks. I’ll read carefully.

They are consistently doing amazing reporting! I am so impressed on how they are stepping up when the old guard papers are failing and taking a knee

Good to see this kind of coverage!

Rolling Stone has been remarkably good with their coverage lately.

I contracted Covid in March 2020. Bedridden, on breathing treatments, terrified I would die. Five years later, I still grieve the life I might have had if I hadn’t spent the past half-decade sick & in pain. COVID didn’t kill me in 2020, but it robbed me of my health & has likely shortened my life.

And it can still happen to any of us, we are STILL in a pandemic....

virginiecady.bsky.social•3 days ago

Been there... Not funny... And I'm lucky enough to live in France where all my medical bills are paid by SS. But the gaslighting, the misogyny (yes... it impacts diagnoses), the "mental illness" suspicion and the never-ending pain, and fatigue : it's all very real.

do you happen to have a non-pay wall-ed link to the article?
