Some Long-Haulers Seeing Major Relief From COVID Vaccination

 Stunning news for many experts - it appears that a number of the people who survived COVID but have serious ongoing problems with weakness, lethargy, and pain are reporting that after receiving a COVID vaccine they are feeling much better.

Extreme shortness of breath is probably the most concerning symptom of post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC) and at least one person who could barely walk a block is now reporting that three weeks after getting the Pfizer COVID vaccine he is beginning to feel much better.

"Survivor Corps, which has a public Facebook group with 159,000 members, recently took a poll to see whether there was any substance to rumors that these patients were feeling better after being vaccinated.

"Out of 400 people, 36% showed an improvement in symptoms, anywhere between a mild improvement to complete resolution of symptoms"

An important note about this development is that SOME of the long-haulers have experienced WORSENING symptoms after their first of 2 vaccine shots but experienced incredible relief a few weeks after getting the second COVID vaccine shot.

Upwards of 25% of people who survived COVID have experienced these long-hauler symptoms.

Does Anyone Still Answer Their Phone?

Today I did my weekly cleanup of phone messages. I change my phone number every two years but the nonsense calls build up to an intolerable level after about 14 months. Today there were 27 saved messages from unanswered calls, some from humans (sort of), a couple from someone speaking Hindustani, and some from computers, all from three companies selling things I would never buy. I live in the country and we know what to do with door-to-door salesmen. Between large hungry dogs and shotguns paired with a backhoe. If I ever answered one of these calls I would still be cursing the caller as my BP went up and up so I never, NEVER answer my phone. There were 7 non sales calls, all from my insurance company, UPMC which is a great insurance plan EXCEPT FOR THE VOLUME OF NONSENSE CALLS they force on me almost daily. No, I do not want to join your conference call about "how to make the most of staying at home" OR the very latest news about COVID or COVID vaccines, only about 4 days beh...

H5N1 Strain Kills 19-year-old in China

For those who have fogotten, Bird Flu (specifically the H5N1 strain) is a major threat to the world's population. The last major pandemic in WWI killed about 100 million and there is really no better treatment today if/when a pandemic strikes. About the only good treatment is supportive - that is, putting patients on breathing assistance, but in a pandemic there will only be a few machines to share out among each 1,000 patients. Bird Flu is most dangerous to the young with strong immune systems. For the latest information on the situation in China and Viet Nam, see http://www.who.int/csr/disease/avian_influenza/en/ China has reported that a young woman recently contracted and died from Bird Flu after buying and cooking some ducks. WHO report: "The Ministry of Health in China has reported a new case of human infection with the H5N1 avian influenza virus. The case is a 19-year old female from Chaoyang District, Beijing. She developed symptoms on 24 Dec 2008, was hospitalize...

Climate Change, Too Late To Beg Politicians - Time To Follow The Pentagon And Begin Preparation For The Inevitable.

 As for climate change, I worked on it for decades even in an official capacity as an emergency management coordinator. It is too late to change what will happen by 2050. Politicians simply can't move fast enough, even countries which agreed with the Paris agreement have totally failed to  to meet the goals they agreed to. It is time to stop wasting time, money, and effort on fighting short term climate change and focus our energy on preparing for inevitable financial and social changes we or our descendants will face. Working to make long-term changes would be  useful but that will occur naturally as Red states are washed away (GRIN). I wrote a book about this and am working on the second volume now. "Preparing for Climate Change  Coastal flooding will cost the U.S. billions of dollars within two decades." . second edition ebook  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TYTG6ZC [ excerpt below ] As far back as 2014 the U.S. military saw climate change as the  ...
