A new study has found an increased risk of certain long COVID-19 symptoms up to two years after an original infection.

Getting sick from COVID-19 is bad enough. What if you're one of the unlucky people who experience what is called long COVID? It's a medley of symptoms that can occur months -- and even years -- after recovering from COVID, according to a new study of more one million people from eight countries.

"This is an extremely robust and well conducted study, using data from a large sample, and across multiple nations," said Rachel Sumner, senior research fellow at Cardiff Metropolitan University in the U.K., who was not involved in the study. The study looked at 1.25 million patients two years after their COVID-19 diagnosis and compared them with a closely matched group of 1.25 million people who had a different respiratory infection.

The study could not tell if people had experienced ongoing symptoms for the full two years since a COVID-19 diagnosis: "That might be the case, it may not be the case," Taquet said. "This data is only looking at the number of new diagnoses being made, not the persistence or the duration of the symptoms.

In the study of 10,000 children with a Covid-19 diagnosis, 260 had developed epilepsy and seizures within two years, compared with 130 out of 10,000 children diagnosed with another respiratory tract infection, which was a "twofold increased risk," Taquet said, In addition, "some of these disorders will continue to have delay in diagnosis and treatment with healthcare systems that are struggling to deal with both COVID infections and backlogs of patient waiting lists," Sumner added.

How about Schlong Covid?

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🙄

When will u stop the fear ? How many of these long Covid patients were vaxxed not once but twice and even three and four times? Move on and start reporting some real news!

Again, we all know this is bs. Time to call it what it is

Long COVID aka vaccine consequence lasts a lifetime....

And the vaccine injuries last how long?

For how long will the risks from the jabs extend? Oh yeah, we have no idea!

Long covid is the new narrative for vaccine mandate

This is how I assess my risks...

it was longcovid before, now its just known as blood/brain/organ damage from some mystery thing everyone all got around the same time...

Hey True Anthem, this is DISINFORMATION.

🤣

Meanwhile, the U.K. is beginning to admit reality

If only we had a vaccine that worked and stopped transmission.... But we don't. Now we have a vaccine that doesn't work and people are skeptical that 'long COVID' is actually side effects from the jab.

Ctv: steering public opinion towards profitability

Clot shots

Long vaccine risk extends two years after injection more like it. It's anything but the almighty vaccine says the dogma spewed by ctv

“Adult risk of developing seizure disorders, brain fog, dementia and other mental health conditions remain high two years after recovering from COVID-19, the study found.” Which came first, the chicken or the egg? They all played dress up, followed arrows, and hid… Thoughts?

STOP NOW!!

STOP!!!!

🐂💩

- Long Covid - Is the Vaxx - Wake - Up !!! - Everyone was Warned of potential harm long ago - Now it's The harsh reality - - Dr. Charles Hoffe and panel of doctors - Warning - mRNA / micro vascular blood-clotting is inevitable - -

Long FEARPORN extends two years after infection.

Who cares?

Let us make one thing perfectly clear. Long covid definition has not yet been universally accepted. Any study on its presence or implications need to find an objective measurement tool. Covid may lead to long term complications in a small subgroup but they should not be lumped

BULL💩 .

Another reason for lazy people to fake a sickness.

Vaccine side effects

Long covid - Is the Vaxx - Wake Up - Blood Clots are inevitable - The empirical science as to why 6 Canadian Doctors died in one week - -

And today you held a very fruitful 'town hall style' meeting with the employees and it was great. No it wasn't it was horrible BellMediaPR . Maybe save a little face and fire Melling.

If you are under 50, statistically you should be more afraid of cars than COVID

No risk at all!!!

That's embarrassing CTV. Pretty sure you just wrote an article that says that the Antarctica was warming. And you wonder why millions of Canadians don't trust you

Long covid is a vaccine injury

Enough already!

The question is are these the risks of Covid or are these the risks of the Covid vaccine, both or neither? Correlation does not equal causation and at this point it would be very difficult to separate these correlates from other pandemic related stressors.

Hope your crispy creme was worth it suckers

What ever happened to the origin of this virus? China wasn't it so they should be accountable and sanctioned or is this part of the WEF plan? Someone posted that China has worked on another virus 60 times more effective so death in large numbers?

No such thing as long covid

How long do the adverse effects of mRNA last?

Tomorrow’s headline : most people with long Covid don’t know they have it 🙄

And people call it flu just b/c the symptoms are similar 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

More fear mongering with ZERO SCIENCE YET AGAIN !

Everyone I know that got long covid is vaccinated.

But when will long flu be taken seriously?

You mean vaids right

Stop the jabs!

Gov't is the virus

If you’re vaccinated there’s a higher risk

CV19 was the greatest thing that ever happened for CTV News; it’s a well that never seems to run dry for them

It's the vaccines!!!!!

Everytime you post pictures of nasal jabs CTV, I'm gonna post this as a reminder that anyone still doing it, is admitting they are cattle or have a fetish for it...

long covid = vaccine side effects! after all seems like all thoses that have had the shots seem to be constantly testing positive over & over!!

Only if you are vaccinated and continue to produce spike proteins 🤡

'Long covid' is the last straw to create fear since everyone has had covid multiple times and for most - it was the sniffles. In fact, a report came out today that said 50 percent of people have zero symtoms.

Nothing new. We knew that already. Covid obsession, lack of critical thinking and laziness for some are just a few of these symptoms.

Hahaha. Journalists should be protected..

LongCOVID? Think Cannalogue🪷
