"Long Cold" - Unknown Before Three Days Ago

Or did they just make it up?

If you search Internet far and wide, you won’t find the term “long cold”. Not before Oct. 6, 2023! For example, Health.com says this about the common cold on Aug. 6, 2023:

The common cold is, as the name suggests, incredibly common. The average adult has about two to three colds yearly, and children have even more than that. Coughing and a runny or stuffy nose may linger for two weeks. Though, your symptoms will likely improve during that time. Sometimes, you may have a nagging cough that lingers for an additional week or two after you've started feeling better. Consult a healthcare provider if symptoms do not go away or worsen after 10 days.

That’s the cold we all knew. Up till now, that is.

“Have a cold you can’t seem to shake? ‘Long colds’ are a thing, just like long COVID” (Fortune, Oct. 6, 2023)":

“Long cold” may be a thing, too. That’s according to a new study released Friday by Queen Mary University of London, published in The Lancet’s EClinical Medicine. Researchers asked hundreds of recently ill patients who had been recovering for four weeks or longer what symptoms they were experiencing. Some had recently had COVID, and others had recently had one of a number of other another acute respiratory infections, which researchers generalized as a "cold."

“Our findings shine a light not only on the impact of long COVID on people’s lives, but also other respiratory infections,” Giulia Vivaldi—a statistician and epidemiologist at Queen Mary University of London and lead researcher on the study—said in a news release about it.

On to the study itself:

This spotlight on the long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection leads to the question of whether there are post-acute sequelae of other acute respiratory infections (ARIs) in the community, including those that present with mild initial symptoms, and how these sequelae compare with long COVID. Importantly, given the non-specific nature of symptoms such as fatigue, any comparison needs to take into account the symptom prevalence in a contemporaneous, uninfected population—particularly given the background of a disruptive pandemic, with increased stressors, limitations on movements, and elevated levels of population fatigue.12 We therefore aimed to compare symptom profiles between people with previous SARS-CoV-2 infection, people with previous non-COVID-19 ARIs, and those with no reported infection, and then to identify distinct symptom clusters among people with previous SARS-CoV-2 infections or non-COVID-19 ARIs.

That’s it! The study compares the most common symptoms as a result of Covid vs ARI, regardless of the Covid “vaccination” prehistory (which is a must now for any self-respected scientist). Nowhere in the study do you encounter the term “long cold” or “long <anything else>”. So, Fortune made it up, and other news outlets started parroting this fake news.

It seems like the goal of this news campaign is to make the Covid mRNA jabbing public accept their newly developed immune deficiencies as something that has been overlooked by the society at large for the last millennia. Prepare yourself to hear much more about long this and long that from now on.

Never to worry: Pfizer, Moderna and other “vaccine” purveyors will have new revolutionary mRNA jabs for anything and everything, starting in 2024.
