Long Covid: even faker than you thought

Guest Post by Alex Berenson

A new Australian study confirms: Yep, it’s THAT fake.

The term “long Covid” should be dropped from use, because Covid has no more aftereffects than the flu or other mild respiratory illnesses, according to a major new study from Australia released yesterday.

The study showed that only 3 percent of people who had Covid had “moderate-to-severe” aftereffects a year later – numerically fewer than those infected with influenza or other mild respiratory diseases.

Researchers surveyed 5,112 Australians who had been infected with Covid, flu, or other respiratory illnesses. The study adds to similar work suggesting that – except for the tiny handful of people who require ventilators or intensive hospital care – nearly everyone who gets Covid recovers completely from it within months.

The study’s full findings will be presented at the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases in late April.

“We believe it is time to stop using terms like ‘long COVID,’” the study’s lead author, Dr. John Gerrard, said in a press release. “They wrongly imply there is something unique and exceptional about longer term symptoms associated with this virus. This terminology can cause unnecessary fear, and in some cases, hypervigilance to longer symptoms that can impede recovery.”

Dr. Gerrard is currently the Chief Health Officer of Queensland, an Australian state of 5 million people on the country’s northeast coast. He was the first physician in Queensland to treat a Covid patient.
