I admit to laughing out loud at the "graph looking thing"!

What are the chances that the "long covid" narrative is now being pushed because it is a useful cover for vaccine injuries given that the hyper-vaccinated seem to be the ones coming down with the most covid cases?

That’s basically been my theory as well as to why the “long covid” narrative is being pushed... among perhaps using it to resume what many of us have experienced the last couple years.

My mom used to say “there’s always a little bit of truth mixed in with a lie”. So true.

What concerns me is that the time horizon for the “long covid” thing is naturally longer than regular covid. In other words it can be manipulated for the foreseeable future unless citizens, independent journalists and principled physicians continue to their part in calling out what needs to be called out.

I had a dream once that science had a problem with unfalsifiable hypotheses.

I love these four-quadrant graphs. In 2020, I prepared a talk on risk models consisting only of such graphs, one on each slide (unfortunately, the workshop was canceled due to Covid).

Oh, and the patient is always right, but there are only two ways to get patient status: your condition is on the list (like Long Covid), or someone with authority has to approve.

On the x-axis is the number of values on display, on the y-axis is the strength of the vocation to change the world. Coforma is in the upper-right quadrant, I am in the lower-left.

The report is an example of using labels, and language, as weapons. That's the impression.
