CDC: Beware of post-COVID symptoms

For those who have wondered how medical authorities will evade accountability amid the exigent onslaught of vaccine injuries, the answer is “post-COVID”. 

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a new Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) Tuesday warning of post-COVID symptoms, also known as “long COVID”. 

“Approximately 1 in 5 adults ages 18+ experience a new condition a month or more after surviving #COVID19,” wrote the CDC in a tweet accompanying the report.  

The agency also attached an infographic that read, “Approximately 1 in 5 adults ages 18+ have a health condition that might be related to their previous COVID-19 illness, such as: neurologic and mental health conditions, kidney failure, musculoskeletal symptoms, cardiovascular conditions, respiratory conditions, blood clots and vascular issues.” 

The CDC appears to be taking care not to say that these symptoms are caused by COVID-19 or are an extension of COVID-19, only that they “might be related”, leaving open the possibility that they could be COVID-19 vaccine-related. 

More importantly, the ambiguous language ensures that any official connectivity between the vaccine and its injuries will be kept under a cloud of doubt. What is a vaccine injury for one is a post-COVID symptom to another. 

In a summary section above the MMWR report, the CDC continues to warn about post-COVID. 

“As more persons are exposed to and infected by SARS-CoV-2, reports of patients who experience persistent symptoms or organ dysfunction after acute COVID-19 and develop post-COVID conditions have increased." 

“COVID-19 survivors have twice the risk for developing pulmonary embolism or respiratory conditions; one in five COVID-19 survivors aged 18–64 years and one in four survivors aged ≥65 years experienced at least one incident condition that might be attributable to previous COVID-19,” the agency added. 

The report, a retrospective analysis of COVID-19 patients between March 2020 and November 2021, and found that “one in five COVID-19 survivors aged 18–64 years and one in four survivors aged ≥65 years experienced at least one incident condition that might be attributable to previous COVID-19.” (emphasis added} 

In both age groups, the agency noted, the most common risk ratio was for blood clots and respiratory issues, both oft-reported vaccine injuries. 

However, the report did not include any vaccination data, with the report admitting that “COVID-19 vaccination status was not considered in this analysis.”
