I've also been seeing reports about Long Covid cases declining, and new referrals dwindling. I imagine less severity+vaccination is making a dent. I'm also convinced the alarmist 20-30% rate of long covid that many sources have alleged is much lower after vaccination, and not only because it reduces the incidence of severe cases

So exhausting that this disease is still a thing.
This morning about 4am I shot awake and the entire room was spinning, like massive vertigo over something like 10 seconds straight :eww: , and then I've had little snippets of it all day today. It's a really familiar thing from the peak of my alleged long covid days, and it's also characteristic of POTS and disautonomia, which they tell me is the biological roots of what's going on (& my cardiologist without thinking it has anything to do with covid. Maybe it doesn't, but the timing of the two biggest hits of it I've had are suspiciously synced to the two biggest covid waves in Tokyo).
I'll think it's gone, but 6 months later it flares back up like this. I wonder if it's reinfection or some other cause, or maybe some impossible to decipher mix of causes.
The only plus to it I guess is, in the original days it would have been paired with my heart going crazy with arrhythmia, an adrenaline shot from hell in my chest, and my head feeling dangerously loopy, and now I don't feel that part, just a faint little adrenaline warmth passing through. So it wasn't scary this time, comparatively speaking. That might be related to having gotten the vaccine.
But I'm really tired of this still being a thing that crashes the party every so often...

Not reinfection but re-inflammation (and yes the vaccine can trigger it because the spike protein and its relation to blood vessels dynamics)
2 days after my 4th shot, no problem at all. Pfizer updated.

(
https://www.prevention.com/health/health-conditions/a42916199/study-diabetes-diagnosis-after-covid-19-infection/) Covid-induced diabetes is almost eliminated by vaccines
The study found that people who had COVID-19 had a higher risk of being diagnosed with all three conditions after having the virus. However, when they adjusted the data to look at something called a benchmark diagnosis (in this case, a new diagnosis of acid reflux or a UTI—two common conditions that aren’t related to COVID or the other conditions), they found that only the risk of developing diabetes was significantly elevated. Again, while the study did not distinguish between the various types of diabetes, they did in fact cite that COVID-19 raised the risk of being diagnosed with diabetes by about 58%.
It’s also worth noting that when the study’s researchers drilled down on which patients had gotten their COVID-19 vaccine before becoming infected, they found that those who had been vaccinated had only a minimal increased risk of a new diabetes diagnosis after having the virus. With this adjustment, people who were unvaccinated had a nearly 80% greater risk of a new diabetes diagnosis.

Not strange, if your blood vessels are damaged by the COVID the diabete is happy to take place there (if sugar in the bloodstream levels are high).
Where are now the "sure deaths by vaccine!!111" people? Don't be fearful, show yourselves.....

It's the pancreas which produces insulin. The story is likely that in an initial infection the virus has a much greater chance to get far enough that it's infecting the pancreas.
It's likely that more illnessess will be traced to viruses in the future. There's a lot of evidence that a specific adenovirus type, Adenovirus 36, disrupts how fat cells work, and that it's linked to chronic obesity.

Diabete is NOT ONLY related to insulin (first type of diabete), is a much more complex condition :)
You can have diabete (and vessel tissue degeneration induced by it) and pancreas perfectly functioning.
faetal on 22/2/2023 at 11:51
Yup. Type 2 diabetes is caused by dysfunction of the metabolic response to insulin, not lack of insulin.
lowenz on 22/2/2023 at 14:29
The result nonetheless is the same: vessel tissue degeneration until necrosis begin.....so it's not really surprising that SARS2 can "help" diabetes (as a chronic condition) in taking place.

Woody Harrelson goes full on conspiratard on SNL and the dupes are loving it. Comments saying that the silence was the audience agreeing and not just politely declining to call him out.

Stick to pitching dope and raw foods, Woody. Stop spewing deadly bullshit.
