    Post viral syndrome information

    Long covid seems to be the same as any other post viral syndrome https://www.scimex.org/newsfeed/expert-reaction-long-covid-may-be-no-different-to-other-long-term-virus-effects From: European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID 2024, Barcelona, Spain, 27-30 April). Queensland data Long COVID ‘indistinguishable’ from other post-viral syndromes and other respiratory virus a year after infection Comparison with influenza and other respiratory illnesses Australia, Queensland, During Omicron wave No evidence of worse post-viral symptoms or functional impairment a year after infection. Long COVID may have appeared to be a distinct and severe illness because of high numbers of COVID-19 cases. N= 5,112 adult symptomatic individuals (Fatigue, brain fog, cough, shortness of breath, change to smell and taste, dizziness, rapid or irregular heartbeat) PCRs conducted between 29 May and 25 June 2022 PCR-confirmed infection for COVID-19 = 2,399 PCR negative for COVID-19 = 2,713 Influenza positive = 995 Results collected, May and June 2023 Overall Still reporting symptoms, 16% (834/5,112) Still reported moderate-to-severe functional impairment, 3.6% (184) Those still reporting any symptoms after a year Post Covid No difference Post Influenza Those with moderate-to-severe functional limitations a year after diagnosis None covid adults, 3% Covid positive adults, 4.1% Influenza positive adults, 3.4% https://bmjpublichealth.bmj.com/content/bmjph/1/1/e000060.full.pdf Comparison at 12 weeks post infection Ongoing symptoms after covid, 21.4% Ongoing symptoms after influenza, 23% Moderate to severe functional impairment after covid, 4.1% Moderate to severe functional impairment after influenza, 4.4% Obvious question not addressed!! Presence of spike protein antibodies Dr John Gerrard, Queensland’s Chief Health Officer These findings underscore the importance of comparing post-COVID-19 outcomes with those following other respiratory infections, and of further research into post-viral syndromes. Furthermore, we believe it is time to stop using terms like ‘long COVID’. They wrongly imply there is something unique and exceptional about longer term symptoms associated with this virus. This terminology can cause unnecessary fear Other commentators https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/mar/15/long-covid-symptoms-flu-cold https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-03-16/queensland-chief-health-officer-long-covid/103594020 https://www.9news.com.au/health/coronavirus-australia-queensland-health-study-long-covid/dede1234-d86f-4842-b6f9-975097dc7e62 Learn more about your ad choices.

    Long-term disease in children post-vaccination

    Henry Ford vaccine study. Senator Ron Johnson’s hearing, titled “How the Corruption of Science has Impacted Public Perception and Policies Regarding Vaccines,” https://live.childrenshealthdefense.org/chd-tv/events/committee-hearings/how-corruption-science-impact-public-perception-policies-vaccines/ After multivariate adjustment 57% of vaccinated children developed at least one chronic health condition (often multiple) 17% of unvaccinated children were chronically ill. Exposure to vaccination was independently associated with an increased risk of developing a chronic health condition (HR 2.53, CI 2.16-2.96). Exposure to vaccination Overall, the development of a chronic health condition occurred more often in the group exposed versus unexposed to vaccination. (p less than 0.0001) IRR 2.48, (CI 2.12-2.91). Risk independently associated with an increased risk of: Asthma HR 4.25, (CI 3.23-5.59) Autoimmune disease HR 4.79, (CI 1.36-16.94) Atopic disease HR 3.03, (CI 2.01-4.57) Eczema HR 1.31, (CI 1.13-1.52) Neurodevelopmental disorder HR 5.53, (CI 2.91-10.51) (mental health and neurodevelopmental disorders including developmental delay and speech disorder) Ear infection IRR 6.63, (CI 5.73-7.66) Chronic ear infection IRR 5.67, (CI 4.37-7.37) Anaphylaxis IRR 8.88, (CI 1.24-63.47) Asthma attack or bronchospasm IRR 6.30, (CI 3.85-10.31) There were no chronic health conditions associated with an increased risk in the unexposed group. Statistical comparisons could not be conducted for certain conditions, such as diabetes and ADHD, because there were no cases in the unexposed group. Ten years of follow up The overall probability of being free of a chronic health condition at 10-years of follow up: 43% in the group exposed to vaccination 83% in the unexposed group. (log-rank test, p less than0.0001) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL5Zx1cIABo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gh6r5rIo4Jw https://live.childrenshealthdefense.org/chd-tv/events/committee-hearings/how-corruption-science-impact-public-perception-policies-vaccines/ Committee on Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs (Search: Henry Ford vaccine study) PDF, entered into hearing records https://childrenshealthdefense.ca/news/henry-ford-birth-cohort-vax-vs-unvax-reveals-staggering-health-risks-in-vaccinated-children/ Impact of Childhood Vaccination on Short and Long-Term Chronic Health Outcomes in Children: A Birth Cohort Study Objective: To compare the short and long-term health outcomes, within a captured payer environment, of children exposed to one or more vaccines to those unexposed. Setting: Integrated healthcare system in Michigan. Participants: 18,468 children born between 2000 and 2016, enrolled in the health system insurance plan. Main Outcome Measures: Development of a chronic health condition over time. Results: 18,468 consecutive subjects 1,957 had no exposure to vaccination 16,511 had received at least one vaccine (various levels of exposure). In exposed subjects, the median number of vaccinations was 18 (IQR 2-28). Conclusion: This study found that exposure to vaccination was independently associated with an overall 2.5-fold increase in the likelihood of developing a chronic health condition, when compared to children unexposed to vaccination. This suggests that in certain children, exposure to vaccination may increase the likelihood of developing a chronic health condition, particularly for one of these conditions.

Though there remain some important uncertainties, Early verbal reports indicate that hospitalisations due to Omicron are now increasing in South Africa. The doubling time for new Omicron infections is currently around 3 days in England It is unlikely to be any slower than a 5-day doubling time (high confidence) Household studies show higher secondary attack rates (high confidence). Why is omicron more transmissible? Combinations of transmissibility and immune escape Some early indications from South Africa suggest less severe disease in those hospitalised A modest reduction in severity would not avert high numbers of hospitalisations if growth rates remained very high. One thousand per day be end of month The peak is highly likely to be higher than 1,000 to 2,000 Omicron hospital admissions per day without intervention For it to be below this level there would need to be only a small degree of immune escape and very high protection from boosters against Omicron With very rapid doubling times a large wave could occur leading to synchronous absences from work.

Even though our area hasn’t been hit badly by Omicron infections yet, cases are rising quite quickly. Compared to Delta, where you could feel people were very anxious about contracting that variant and almost everyone knew someone in hospital and most knew someone who had died, the mood is definitely different. We are just not hearing about mass hospitalisations like in the third wave and those that are testing positive are mainly feeling flu like symptoms for a few days and then recovering.
