1 in 3 People Who Survive COVID-19 Are Left With ‘Brain Disease’ or Psychiatric Disorders, Says New Study

Researchers are continuing to study the long-term effects of COVID-19. And now, there's evidence to suggest that a third of COVID-19 survivors are struggling with brain disease or other psychiatric disorders.
....

A little more than 17% of those patients were diagnosed with anxiety, while 14% were diagnosed with some form of mood disorder. A smaller number of former patients experienced brain hemorrhaging, stroke, or dementia—all of which can be considered types of brain disease.

You gotta be kidding me. Anxiety and mood disorder. But the headline is front and center screaming BRAIN DISEASE! So ridiculous.

Anyone who has a rough time with any disease or sickness and is hospitalized will probably be a bit anxious afterwards or develop a bad mood. But please, let's keep funding these jerkoffs so they can continue their "peer reviewed studies" and scare the hell out of the public. I'm less than impressed.

Dr. Fauci says he takes vitamin D and C supplements and that they can lessen 'your susceptibility to infection'
glandsverk@businessinsider.com (Gabby Landsverk) 9/11/2020


Dr. Anthony Fauci, a leading US expert in infectious disease, said in a recent interview that he takes vitamin D and C supplements to keep a healthy immune system.
There's good science behind his recommendation, with plenty of evidence that being deficient in either nutrient can make you more susceptible to infection.
Fauci said most other immune-boosting claims, however, are useless. There's little evidence other supplements make much difference in preventing illness.

The leading infectious-disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci recommends taking your vitamins now that school has started and flu season is nearing.

Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, specifically suggested taking vitamin D and C supplements and said he takes them himself in an Instagram Live interview with the actress Jennifer Garner on Thursday.

"If you're deficient in vitamin D, that does have an impact on your susceptibility to infection. I would not mind recommending, and I do it myself, taking vitamin D supplements," he said. "The other vitamin that people take is vitamin C because it's a good antioxidant, so if people want to take a gram or so of vitamin C, that would be fine."

There's a large body of research supporting Fauci's recommendations. Studies suggest vitamin D and C are your best bet for supplementing immune health. However, many of the other products sold for this purpose are useless or worse.
There's evidence to support supplementing vitamin D and C for immune health

Extensive evidence has linked vitamin D deficiency to greater risk of infection, particularly from respiratory diseases like COVID-19.

That's led many researchers to investigate the use of vitamin D supplements to help prevent or lessen the effects of the coronavirus. While the findings are somewhat contentious, since researchers don't fully understand if vitamin D supplements can cause better health outcomes, studies have consistently linked vitamin D deficiency to greater risk of severe infection.

At the very least, Fauci should be stripped of all credentials and banished from public life. What really needs to happen, though, is a long jail sentence. Ten years oughta do it. He can have it cushy in a Club Fed somewhere. I don't care, just as long as he shuts his mouth for good.

Oh, yeah, Fauci, take some D and some E and throw in some other letters of the alphabet for good measure, then triple mask up and go jump off a cliff. Bungie jump without the bungie. Have some gas station sushi. Change the channel from a Steelers game in a sports bar. Whatever, just get gone, you complete PHONY.

Don't take these videos too seriously. I'm sure it's just a coincidence. CREEPY AS HELL REGARDLESS

Do scientists still care about distinguishing between causal relationships vs correlated relationships vs coincidence?

BTW, I haven't been sick (TMK) but I'm increasingly anxious. All this talk about passports, new normals, doomsday. What do I get?

Any chance there's a link between these displayed conditions/diagnosis' and the fact that the .gov, along with the infallible paragons of 'intelligence' in the public health community, have displayed NOTHING but complete ineptitude throughout this entire nightmare, supplemented of course, by the constant drumbeat of terror and death associated w/ COVID coming from the media establishment?

It seems the prescribed counter-measures/treatment/cure that's been imposed on society for this pandemic, just might be worse than the actual disease! I wonder...

For all of those posting above. The Lancet will accept well reasoned rational argments that are in conflict with the journal report. For those who do not know:
The Lancet is a weekly peer-reviewed general medical journal. It is among the world's oldest and best-known general medical journals. It was founded in 1823 by Thomas Wakley, an English surgeon who named it after the surgical instrument called a lancet.

The editors are not in the habit of publishing garbage.

Other than the Wakefield study.

I no longer trust anyone on this subject. They can peer review until the cows come home. I'm not listening. I'm certain this seems irrational to many of you, but this is what happens when you lie to people enough, and I reached that threshold months ago.

Look at what's been done to the world in the name of "safety". They have fucked up the lives of tens of millions of Americans.

It's time for everyone to man up. You can cower in your house or you can choose to be alive, with all the risks that are associated with life.

^^^I reached that threshold 200 pages ago in this very thread!

When I was young and entertaining pre-med, Lancet seemed like a respectable publication.

But anytime I see "information" like this, I tune out and disregard anything else the "expert" is trying to say. I can't fathom how one would normalize all other factors to reasonably attribute something like covid to 'feelings' let alone measure the level and determine causal, not correlated, relationships.

The scientific method is lost.

My Doctor makes me fill out a form detailing the symptoms causing my visit. One of the questions asked is am I irritable?
I write down: ARENT WE ALL?
I should be careful about that. Probably puts me on a list somewhere.

Well, I just read a piece on the previous page that seems to suggest otherwise.

IF you read that Lancet piece and don't walk away shaking your head, then you've seriously lost the plot.

Mood disorders... Anxiety... about COVID-19!!!

Who would have guessed???

Perhaps you should submit a carefully crafted letter to the editors of the Lancet. Your considered opinion as a merchant marine will be eagerly anticipated.

Thank you for your opinion. I certainly understand your point of view. I appreciate your response which was polite and respectful. I have not missed a day of work although it has been difficult due to governmental restrictions.

NY Rewards Illegal Aliens With COVID Relief Checks 10 Times Amount Given To American Citizens

https://www.zerohedge.com/mark...en-american-citizens

The State of New York has passed a new budget with major tax increases that will only drive more business from the declining state. It is also carving out billions to cut one-time checks for illegal immigrants who lost work due to the state’s lockdowns. The size of the checks? Over ten times that given to Americans in the last round of stimulus sent out by the Biden administration.

The bill includes $2.1 billion fund to provide “one-time payments for undocumented workers who did not qualify for federal stimulus checks or unemployment benefits,” the New York Times reported, “according to budget highlights released by the governor’s office.”

“New York will now offer one-time payments of up to $15,600 to undocumented immigrants who lost work during the pandemic,” the report continued.

“The effort - a $2.1 billion fund in the state budget - is by far the biggest of its kind in the country and a sign of the state’s shift toward policies championed by progressive Democrats.”

The last round of “stimulus” payments sent to under the Biden administration’s plan began to be issued on Friday.

“That brings the total disbursed payments from the latest stimulus package to more than 156 million payments, worth about $372 billion,” reported USA Today.

“The payments, which total up to $1,400 each per individual, were distributed mostly by direct deposits and paper checks.”

New York rewarding illegal immigrants with massive one-time payments comes amidst a surge in illegal migrants that has the Biden administration taking flak from all sides. While Biden now tries to deflect from his record by telling prospective illegal migrants such things as “don’t come” to America, his lip service only serves to underscore that the president knows his administration’s policies are harmful to America.

“The president campaigned on easing immigration controls, including a moratorium on deportations, an end to former President Donald Trump’s ‘wait in Mexico’ policy for asylum-seekers and halting construction of the border wall,” an NBC opinion piece noted in March.

“That platform gave migrants good reason to believe it would be easier to get into the United States if he were elected.”

Biden has also begun building parts of the southern border wall begun under President Trump, drawing fire from radical critics. Meanwhile, New York state is handing out $15,600 checks to anyone from around the world who can make it into the state illegally — but not to American citizens whose livelihoods were decimated or destroyed by the governor’s reckless and unlawful lockdown policies.

The $15,600 checks being cut for illegal aliens while millions of Americans are struggling is the latest sign that the Democratic Party’s policies are a recipe for social discord and budgetary disaster.

The Big Apple is collapsing and surreal policies like the ones just passed in Albany is a primary reason why. The state is run by a governor whose corrupt administration hid thousands of nursing home deaths from the public and who has been credibly accused of sexual harassment by multiple aides. Meanwhile, the state’s draconian and arbitrary lockdowns have crippled small businesses, shuttering hundreds of them permanently. It has gotten so bad that many New Yorkers are throwing in the towel on the disastrously managed state.

Last year, tens of thousands of the richest New Yorkers fled the state - as many as 70,000, according to a Unacast report cited by Reuters. The spendthrift measures passed by Albany have set the state on a course for budgetary implosion and another round of blue state “bailouts” from the Biden administration.

Living in a welfare state. Sounds delightful.
