Re: The Brain and Long Covid
My daughter had COVID very early; March 2023 - she's a teacher surrounded by 5 year old virus generators all day. She lost her sense of taste before it was recognised as a symptom.
It was only in February this year that she said she was back to normal. Prior to that some tastes returned but in weird ways - onions apparently tasted like petrol. Red wine like chocolate.

Re: Moderator Off Duty
he replied with a message showing he understood that what he'd done was so wrong that he could actually commit one last act of damage
Reviewing his posts shows that he actually contributed a tiny smidgen of actual information. It was mostly just the repetitious drone of "math and 2 long term bacterial evolution experiments" and then he misapplies calculations of the mutation rate to a model for all of life.
I don't know how many times he posted links to his "papers" but that seems to be his main purpose here, trying to increase visit stats and citations for his largely ignored work.
The vitriol toward biologists and everyone opposing him was in the basic structure almost every one of his posts and seemed pathological to me. His argument style of Gish Gallop and Trumpian derogatory insults to everyone warranted suspension long ago in my opinion, but I did enjoy watching you toying with him for the last month or so.

Covid global health emergency is over, WHO says
"Yesterday, the Emergency Committee met for the 15th time and recommended to me that I declare an end to the public health emergency of international concern. I've accepted that advice. It is therefore with great hope that I declare Covid-19 over as a global health emergency," Dr Tedros said.

With all the deaths still occurring (covid is expected to be the 3rd leading cause of death in the US this year) it is puzzling that that so many still minimize the threat.
A common argument is that because the elderly, especially those with comorbidities, were the group most affected that the pandemic wasn't really a big deal, but there are several problems with this.
First, the lives of the elderly are valuable, too.
Second, nearly 25% of deaths in the US were of people younger than 65.
Third, long covid is affecting a great many people. Around 30% of those who become ill with covid get long covid, but that includes people who take longer than a few weeks to recover fully. I'd have to guess at how many have permanent long covid, but I would put it at around 10%.
Fourth, they've discovered that covid has a serious neurological component, causing brain damage that people aren't aware of at the time. It is possible that those who think they fully recovered could suffer neurological symptoms and/or deficiencies down the road. For instance, it wouldn't be surprising to find that as people age dementia is found to be more common in those who once had covid.

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Public Health and Safety
The article https://www.nbcnews.com/...nths-arrest-warrant-was-rcna87372 reports that V.N., a Washington state woman who refused treatment for tuberculosis and refused to isolate, was arrested today. She'll be detained in a "negative pressure" room in the Pierce County jail until her treatment is complete and she's no longer a contagion threat.
About 600 people die of tuberculosis in the US every year. The number would be much higher but for the fact that we take the threat of tuberculosis very seriously and work hard to prevent its spread. But people die of tuberculosis anyway. I just found out yesterday that a former boss, younger than me and in the midst of beginning a high-tech startup, died of tuberculosis last month.
Tuberculosis is an example of government doing what is necessary to maintain public health, and it baffles me that so many people did not want government to do its job in the case of covid, which killed at a rate at least a thousand times higher than tuberculosis in 2020 and 2021.
Likely around 10,000 people will die of covid this year, many, many more than tuberculosis. It is beyond me that the threat doesn't convince people of the need for vaccinations and boosters, and to vote in public officials who work to reduce the likelihood that people could be infected by other members of the public.

I heard yesterday that had the first COVID virus been Omicron instead of Alpha there would have been at least five times more deaths.

High deaths from covid injections... The new normal
We are into the 2nd half of 2023 and we are still seeing the same trend across the western world. Deaths at rates never seen before.
But it's not just old people it's middle aged people, young people and children as well. It's a tragedy that began with the covid syringes and is being ignored by our governments.
It's sad really, especially when I personally know so many people hurt and damaged by these toxic syringes. Needless suffering because they were lied to by the government and media.
In Australia the fact that people are dying at a 20% higher rate was brought to the attention of the politicians in parliament. They voted on whether to investigate this trend and most voted no...
That's the smoking gun. As if more evidence was needed. They were happy to destroy the lives of millions when a few old people were dying but don't care now that thousands of young people are dying.
If they really cared for the health of the civilians and had nothing to hide then they would investigate this.
But they're afraid that the truth will be revealed, that these experimental injections are causing much harm, why else would they not investigate this massive rise in deaths?

Us And Them
Ahhh yes. Mr. Pork N Cheese! You've been squawking on this soapbox for awhile now.
Hows school, by the way? What are you learning about?
We are into the 2nd half of 2023 and we are still seeing the same trend across the western world. Deaths at rates never seen before.
If true, why is the media hiding this story? Where are your sources? And are you suggesting that the government and media are against the interests of the common people?
In Australia the fact that people are dying at a 20% higher rate was brought to the attention of the politicians in parliament. They voted on whether to investigate this trend and most voted no...
But for the sake of argument, lets say you are right. "They" are deceiving us.(We)
We cant trust our government. So...what do you suggest that we do? Overthrow the current governments? Elect a populist? Join Antifa or The Proud Boys?
I would like to hear your solution.

Personal lying bullshit.

Twisted evidence bullshit.

Because there is nothing to investigate. Your wet dream here is all bullshit.

Re: High deaths from covid injections... The new normal
The article suggests that COVID is NOT the primary culprit.
Pork is trying to lie the continuing covid deaths into vaccine-caused deaths.
Such an obvious subterfuge. The attempt is stupefying.
