A new study finds the risks of developing long COVID declined over the first two years of the pandemic. But unvaccinated adults were more than twice as likely to get long COVID compared with those who were vaccinated.
“COVID-19 infections continue to outnumber flu cases and lead to more hospitalization and death than the flu. COVID-19 also leads to more serious long-term health problems. Trivializing COVID-19 as an inconsequential cold or equating it with the flu does not align with reality.”
The point seems to be to try to tell the kind of person who probably won’t read this article that they’re wrong to say that COVID isn’t a big deal.
So you mean it’s not “just the flu” like the antivaxxers have told me so often? (Ignoring the fact that the 1918 flu killed between 20 and 50 million people.)
Just a description of the problem and symptoms, no new info on treatment.

Now: “People die all the time, whatever.”
Eventually: “My family are dead and I feel sick, help.”
When people fabricate a short-term reality based on convenience rather than facts, people make a worse world for everyone.
