Is that a Falun Gong YT channel?

Is that a Falun Gong YT channel?

You mean, is it a FG practitioner's media channel? I can't be sure, it is not one l recognise, but l like this channel because it has good insider information on China. I only found it recently on GanJing World.

Gotcha.

Out of curiosity, how did you get drawn into the FG orbit? Do you have Chinese ancestry or was it just something like getting a pamphlet in the subway or someone knocking st the door?

Met a friend from the U.S who was also into raw vegan diets. She joined my site and we became great friends. I switched to the FG practice and got immediate good results. My complexion is now rosy with a pinkish glow with very few wrinkles. I did raw foods for years, but l never looked good until l started FG.

Falun Gong won awards all over China in the early days, and was awarded the star qigong school in 1993. There was also a study from M Trey documenting the health benefits from people in the practice.

Long COVID: major findings, mechanisms and recommendations - Nature Reviews Microbiology

Long COVID is an often debilitating illness of severe symptoms that can develop during or following COVID-19. In this Review, Davis, McCorkell, Vogel and Topol explore our knowledge of long COVID and highlight key findings, including potential mechanisms, the overlap with other conditions and...

www.nature.com

• Long COVID is an often debilitating illness that occurs in at least 10% of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections.

• At least 65 million individuals worldwide are estimated to have long COVID,

• …[occurs in] 10–12% of vaccinated cases

Yes that’s right, 10% of vaccinated cases​

• With significant proportions of individuals with long COVID unable to return to work, the scale of newly disabled individuals is contributing to labour shortages.

• Six months after breakthrough infection, increased risks were observed for cardiovascular conditions, coagulation and haematological conditions, death, fatigue, neurological conditions and pulmonary conditions

• A higher prevalence of long Covid has been reported in certain ethnicities, including people with Hispanic or Latino heritage. Socio-economic risk factors include lower income and an inability to adequately rest in the early weeks after developing COVID-19

• Long COVID impacts children of all ages [with symptoms] 2 to 36 times more likely [with children who had COVID]

• Studies looking at immune dysregulation in individuals with long COVID who had mild acute COVID-19 have found T cell alterations, including exhausted T cells [and other immune reductions]

• A long-lasting reduction in vascular density, specifically affecting small capillaries, was found in patients with long COVID compared with controls, 18 months after infection.

• Cardiac MRI studies revealed cardiac impairment in 78% of 100 individuals who had a prior COVID-19 episode

• 70% of [long COVID] patients had damage to at least one organ and 29% had multi-organ damage… The organ damage experienced by patients with long COVID appears durable

• … fatigue was found in 32% and cognitive impairment was found in 22% of patients with COVID-19 at 12 weeks after infection. Cognitive impairments in long COVID are debilitating, at the same magnitude as intoxication at the

• drink driving limit or 10 years of cognitive ageing

• Viral persistence in the penile tissue has been documented, as has an increased risk of erectile dysfunction, likely resulting from endothelial dysfunction. In one study, impairments to sperm count, semen volume, motility, sperm morphology and sperm concentration were reported in individuals

• Several imaging studies that included non-hospitalized individuals with long COVID demonstrated pulmonary abnormalities including in air trapping and lung perfusion

• Few people with long COVID demonstrate full recovery, with one study finding that 85% of patients who had symptoms 2 months after the initial infection reported symptoms 1 year after symptom onset

Almost Twice as Many Republicans Died From COVID Before the Midterms Than Democrats

The authors of a new study can’t say if this impacted the midterms, but say that it’s “plausible given just how stark the differences in vaccination rates have been, among Democrats and Republicans.”

China coronavirus: 60,000 Covid-related deaths in just over a month

It is the first major death toll released since the country stopped its zero-Covid policy.

www.bbc.com

About 2k dead per day. Pretty much par for course for a country that size going through a wave.

There will soon be a release in English media about how high the COVID deaths in China are. Be prepared guys, the figures are higher than expected. Be prepared for a big shock.

no one will care shooey. i can assure you of this.

People will care in the near future because it will dramatically impact trade and world relations. Lots of medications and things are made in China, and now there is going to be major shortages of everything IMO

We had that three/four years ago now and look where it got us. Even the Chinese don’t care at this point that’s why they’ve reopened.

AND....
World relations will now change. Why? The regime will fall because there won't be the leaders to run China anymore. What about the military?...gone too? AND the United Nations will be set free, no more BRI countries being bought off by China. It all ends now.

None of this will happen.

Chinese hospitals creak under the strain of a huge Covid outbreak

More than 60,000 people have died since “zero-Covid” rules were abruptly lifted in December, official figures show, and many more deaths are feared.

www.nbcnews.com

"[T]he Cyberspace Administration of China said over the next month it would take action against 'fabricating patient experiences' and promoting fake virus treatments in order to 'prevent gloomy sentiments' during the Lunar New Year."

You weren't really ill. You just had the flu/RSV/cold/hypchondria.

Colin Furness debunks the popular theory and explains how Covid-19 may be weakening our immune systems in the long run

More for Rambo. basically getting coronavirus causes t-cell exhaustion which makes your immune system susceptible to RSV, flu etc. Getting coronavirus makes the immune system weaker, not bolstering it to be stronger according to this epidemiologist.

Twelve people are responsible for 65% of disinformation about COVID-19 vaccines on social media.

And two are members of this forum! 🤣

The science (and business) behind COVID-19 disinformation. And what to do about it.

Rumors around COVID-19 vaccines and death, like the Died Suddenly video we highlighted earlier this week, aren’t random. Disinformation campaigns are deliberate, often orchestrated, and highly effective in confusing people enough to change behaviors, like not getting the COVID-19 vaccine. And...
