Have you been infected with COVID-19 multiple times? | ABC

🔹Immunology experts say contracting COVID multiple times is a sign there could be a problem with the immune system.

🔹Researchers have found the more times you're infected the higher chance you have of developing long COVID or other chronic health conditions.

🔹Those at risk are urged to be up to date with their booster vaccinations.

"Getting COVID-19 multiple times means either you're exposed to it a fair bit and you're not as diligent protecting yourself, or there might be something wrong with your ability to fight infections," Professor Faux said

New study proves that COVID-19 is far more harmful and deadly than the flu.

Dr. Al-Aly wrote, “We observed higher risks of death, healthcare utilization and hits in most organ systems in COVID-19 than the flu. This was evident in pre-Delta, Delta, and Omicron. And also evident in vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. COVID-19 remain a much more serious threat to human health than the flu.”

COVID excess death toll approaches 30 million globally.

"Extrapolating these infection estimates to the rest of the world, this could very well mean that upwards of 1-2 billion more infections have transpired during the ongoing global wave of JN.1, meaning that tens of millions or more Long COVID cases should be expected to develop in the coming weeks to months.

"What is most concerning is that excess deaths remained stubbornly high throughout the entirety of 2023. While official COVID deaths for 2023 stood at only 284,000 globally, the excess death toll was 3.2 million, a figure that is more than 11 times higher."

Powerful interests want you to think COVID is no big deal (nbd) and over. Why?

So you’ll go to work without demanding higher pay or new safety measures.

So you won’t ask more of government.

So office space doesn’t become a bad investment.

So you’ll shop.

So you’ll travel.

So the $ flows.

Queensland’s chief health officer Dr John Gerrard has been accused of “medical gaslighting” following his comments on long COVID. | couriermail.com.au

#LongCOVID @auscovid19

“The message comes from the top. Why would healthcare staff in Queensland take patients seriously when the leading doctor diminishes the very real condition that is impacting more and more people?” Ms Austin, 47, from Eukey, in the Southern Downs, said. “I felt like my nervous system was constantly being eaten away by ants. My brain would seize and I would have no idea where I was in my own home. I’d get on a bus and would be sitting there clueless as to where I was going or why. It was so frightening,” she said. “I would have such severe chest pain I’d end up in the emergency department multiple times to be told they could find nothing wrong. I literally felt I was going mad and was totally alone.” Dr Gerrard’s comments made headlines internationally and garnered opposition from medical experts. His statement was related to new research, from his own team, that found there were similar ongoing symptoms with other viral infections. “I don’t deny that long Covid has commonalities with other post viral illnesses but it is crucial that it is labelled for the purpose of patient validation and pathways to treatment,” Ms Austin said. Dr Gerrard emphasised to The Courier-Mail that he acknowledged that the symptoms are real and can cause significant distress to those affected.
“However, the research suggests the types of longer-term symptoms and complications after Covid-19 are not unique or exceptional to the virus,” he said. “Physically I feel better but mentally I am still scarred from the experience and I live in fear of getting Covid again as I just couldn’t face reliving that nightmare. Covid is certainly not over for me or for many of the people still suffering. I managed to graduate and do well but life has changed for ever” Ms Austin said. Micquette Abercrombie from the Australia Long Covid Community said that hundreds of the group’s members are Queenslanders. “The level of anger and astonishment after the CHO’s message was huge. One of the biggest problems facing members is being taken seriously by the medical community. They need to be believed and treatment developed,” she said. Gary Macpherson from Hamilton, keeled over in the emergency department of the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in 2020 — he had contracted Covid. That was the start of a health nightmare for Mr Macpherson. He landed in ICU for six weeks. Four years later he still suffers from lingering health problems sparked by the virus. He too has slammed the CHO for his comment that the phrase “long Covid” sparked unnecessary fear. “I don’t have long Covid. I have Covid for life. It is very real. While I am not as debilitated as I was I still only have only 80 per cent lung function and kidney problems. I don’t have any buffer if I get sick again,” he said.
