The vaccines did what, knocked a chunk off of an already absurd figure? They aren't stopping transmission. They aren't stopping long covid (not really). And you think the pandemic is over?

A unique strength of the current study is its evaluation of the prevalence of 8 subtypes and 41 symptoms associated with long COVID.A unique strength of the current study is its evaluation of the prevalence of 8 subtypes and 41 symptoms associated with long COVID. Among these, neurological symptoms emerge as a detrimental long-term problem for individuals with a history of COVID-19 [35], which is uncommonly seen in common respiratory viral infection such as seasonal influenza [36, 37] and the common cold [37].
Analyses conducted by Haupert et al [38] identified multiple symptoms specific to COVID-19, such as depression and sleep apnea, whereas ischemic heart disease was the only significant post-flu manifestation. The neurological subtype has an estimated pooled prevalence of 16% among confirmed COVID-19 cases, closely following the respiratory subtype (20%). The prevalence of specific symptoms within the neurological subtypes, such as memory problems (11%) and brain fog (4%), highlight the cognitive impact of long COVID among the global COVID-19 population.
These findings highlight the need for heightened attention to neurological complications within long COVID care and research.
