Via LinkedIn – Augie (August) Ray: “I periodically post about the ongoing risks of COVID19 that most are ignoring. The world changed in 2020 and didn’t go back to “normal.” Over time, repeated COVID infections are affecting the health of more people. We know this not just from the thousands of research studies published on COVID’s chronic symptoms and damage but also from real-world economic and health data. I visit this Federal Reserve chart every few months. It shows the number of people with disabilities in the civilian labor force. The chart below is set to index (at 100) on the earliest data for which data is available, June 2008. And, as it happens, we were at that same index level in April 2020, amid the shutdowns and isolation of the pandemic.   But something strange has been happening in the US since January 2021. Around the time we decided vaccines were sterilizing, we could rip off the masks, and we could return to normal, disabilities started rising abruptly. And, most crucially, they’ve never stopped. We now have 55% more disabled people in the workforce than we did before the pandemic. A year ago we had 45% more, the year before that 40% more, and the year before that 30% more…COVID continues to surge twice a year, cause reinfections, and is associated with cognitive damage, fatigue, higher rates of cardiovascular issues, and impaired immune systems…You can read brief summaries and access more than 3,000 medical studies here…”
