Dismissing everything as fearmongering is a coping mechanism, in this case I would call it denial.
I think a highly iterative process of understanding the effects of COVID are an interesting thing to learn and it might also help people and lead to a breakthrough if others are inspired to entertain the hypothesis.
- catalogia 6y agoThe simple fact of the matter is there is currently no rational reason to believe covid will have long-term effects comparable to polio. That the possibility can't be ruled out is meaningless because you can't rule out that same possibility for any other virus either.
- vmception 6y agopermanently lower oxygen saturation and neural degeneration unrelated to the blood oxygen across a broad population of unknown size is crippling comparable to polio. your entire argument is based on either not noticing that, not being aware of that, or desperate to talk about why visually crippled people was a bigger problem even though zero resources need to be spent on that today.

Comparable to polio? Put some real numbers to it, otherwise you're just pulling shit out of your ass. Post-polio syndrome effected 25-80% of survivors. The handful of anecdotes of people having trouble after surviving covid-19 are a far cry from that.
