Feeling long COVID-19's lingering presence
COVID-19 killed more than 15,000 Minnesotans and 1.1 million Americans. We thought it was over, but now we are learning that COVID never really left us. Esme Murphy took a fresh look into the crippling and potentially deadly symptoms, and why so many cases are going undiagnosed.
An estimated 5% to 30% of people who had COVID are now at risk for long COVID. Just in Minnesota, that means more than 400,000 people could have or still have long COVID.
WCCO Meteorologist Adam Del Rosso, 33 years old and a passionate tennis player, shared his unexpected and long battle with long COVID.
Murphy spoke with Kate Murray, the long COVID program manager with the Minnesota Department of Health, about the wide range of symptoms and recovery time.
One of the doctors working to learn more about long COVID is Dr. Greg Vanichkachorn, with the Mayo Clinic in Rochester.
Twin Cities Doctor Hannah Lichtsinn, of Hennepin Healthcare, says her hospital is seeing an uptick in COVID and long COVID cases. She told Murphy the best way to protect yourself is to get your vaccine and boosters.

I had the two vaccines. I never had covid but I had lots of arrhythmias after my vaccine and ended up in heart failure needing a pacemaker. I never had heart issues before. I have perfect cholesterol, and blood sugars and have never been overweight. My sister was never vaccinated and the most she got was a few sniffles but her husband who has had every single vaccine and booster ended up in ICU with covid and had to be transferred to a rehabilitation center after that and eventually came home on oxygen.

As of this past January, people in my country (Canada) have won over $2.1 million settlements over vaccine injuries - for example, Carrie Sakamoto from Lethbridge, Alberta who developed Bell's Palsy; and Paul Wightman from Lake Country, British Columbia who developed Guillan-Barré syndrome.

No. Vaccine reactions and post viral syndromes (long covid) are real, HOWEVER they are two different things. WORSE, unvaccinated people are still getting long covid. oops. It's both. BTW you know what is also a post viral syndrome???: HIV AIDS. It's a virus. A virus doesn't care who you voted for. Duh. Good luck everyone.
It doesn't matter whether the spike protein entered your body through the air or through an injection, it can cause damage either way. The spike protein from the vax has been proven to stay in your body and attaches to all your cells, it doesn't stay at the injection site like they claimed. One of my best friends died after having a heart attack after he got heart damage and a blood clot after his 2nd dose. I was lucky and just got chest pains, a leaky heart, and arthritis throughout my body...

so far SPIKE proteins have been unproven, but they have injected nanotech, hydrogels and graphene oxides. Either way, they are trying to poison us all- so we can't get caught up or divided over how- we just know they are. I'm sorry about your friends. There are things to help us detox.
The vaccine messed me up for a long time, and since the jab I've had a worse reaction to covid-19...

Long drawn out sickness due to damaged immune system, because of the injections. Spike pro. Romans 10:9-13 and Acts 10:38,42,43 a reminder of the testimony of every prophet about where is forgiveness and salvation of life after death 🎉 Happy Birthday to Jesus 🎉 the faithful Son.
Glad he is feeling better
Vaccine injury and long covid are not the same thing.

We used the 32 day ArtemiC Rescue and ArtemiC Support combo, and it worked well for us for both short and long covid.😢
LoL

Why? Her education is in English language & literature, not anything related to biology, immunology or anything related to health / vaccines.
