> millions, maybe even a billion worldwide that will have long-covid for the rest of their miserable existence. What? I don't think there is any data to suggest that 1/8 of the world population has long-COVID or that they have a miserable existence. That's quite judgmental to say about someone also. > They're alive but the quality of life is just gone, likely forever. Forever? How do we know? So many people recovered from long-COVID. Everyone is different, there is no data to suggest that people will have lasting symptoms forever.

Convenient isn't it that they still don't have a test to detect and prove long-covid, forget treating it. Not going to get into a pointless argument here about it, there are already many studies showing at least 10% of people who get covid now have long-covid and it's decimated the workforce. https://www.brookings.edu/research/new-data-shows-long-covid-is-keeping-as-many-as-4-million-people-out-of-work/ https://www.brookings.edu/research/new-data-shows-long-covid... Long-Covid deniers might be the worst of all because the suffering is very real and they don't "get it" until it's their turn, and then it's too late.

  We are going to eugenics them. You can already see the foundations of it in the "no one wants to work anymore" campaign, the immediate and intense denial of long covid as even a thing, the absolute refusal to consider or weigh long-term effects in covid policies, things like MAID in canada, the increasingly aggressive propaganda campaign against the homeless. For people with long covid we're going to deny it's real, deny healthcare, blame them for their financial consequences, give no support, then offer suicide.

  > Long-Covid deniers might be the worst of all Nice new epithet. > Convenient isn't it that they still don't have a test to detect and prove long-covid, forget treating it. This sounds like you're a conspiracy theorist. Not only are you condemning everyone by making up a new epithet, you're couching it all in your conspiracy theory that they're hiding evidence of long covid?
