Just not sure if it’s adding any value. FWIW I didn’t raise it. The mods seemed to have noticed themselves

I haven't been impressed with the mods in this thread at all, even in the past. We've had a couple of people who come to troll bait every so often (including one regular) and when they put a little bit of effort into their trolling the mods completely ignore it every time. But they'll jump down on your neck for laugh reacts.
Apparently they can't be arsed with anything that requires a bit of thought and going back through some posts.

My parents have never had cold sores prior to getting covid in May ‘22. In the three colds they had since, they have developed cold sores, which get increased in size each time
There are studies done that as shown covid weakens the immune system and latent viruses become reactivated.
HSV1 and 2, which I think are cold sores. Also EBV is appearing in people.
This is a preprint report from last year. But lots of anecdotal evidence in the post covid groups;
Increased circulating fibronectin, depletion of natural IgM and heightened EBV, HSV-1 reactivation in ME/CFS and long COVID
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/ Chronic Fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex, debilitating, long-term illness without a diagnostic biomarker. ME/CFS patients share overlapping symptoms with long COVID patients, an observation which has strengthened the infectious origin hypothesis of ME/CFS...

MENSA, a Media Enriched with Newly Synthesized Antibodies, to Identify SARS-CoV-2 Persistence and Latent Viral Reactivation in Long-COVID
Post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (SARS2) infection (PASC) is a heterogeneous condition, but the main viral drivers are unknown. Here, we use MENSA, Media Enriched with Newly Synthesized Antibodies, secreted exclusively from circulating human plasmablasts, to provide an immune snapshot that...

I've had cold sores all my life and since having COVID twice and all the available vaccinations... I've noticed no difference in incidence or severity of them
A little off topic, and a little bit gross, but I used to suffer from cold sores, and then followed an old wives remedy, and haven't had one for decades. Ear wax.
There's seemingly a little science behind it too, though not everyone's ear wax is apparently suitable.. and plenty also seem to disagree with it having anti viral properties.

Do not put on open wounds since ear wax can contain bacteria and dirt. But when you feel the start of one put some on. I produce a lot of waxy ear wax, my wife produces very dry wax, so that may make a difference too, not everyone is the same.
Maybe it's luck, maybe it's something completely unrelated etc, maybe it was correlation and not causation etc.

This post. This wins the "What the flipping heck am I even reading?" internet award for today.
Also, congratulations on finding something that works for you.
Ideally yes. But we don't live in an ideal world, so that would depend heavily on where it originated. And how robust and co-operative the investigation was. If it turns out it originated in a Chinese laboratory or that becomes the de facto origination due to politicking and post-fact BS can you imagine the fall out? Especially with Trump in charge. He'd absolutely love that, in fact he'd probably set it up given any encouragement.
And doing that wouldn't make a repeat any less likely. It would just make the world a much more dangerous place.
I'm sorry to hear that and I suspect you're right. I wish you a speedy recovery.
A new nasal vaccine is due to enter trials soon.
I think this will be a game changer for many.

This is a disaster for American medical research. I know a lot of post covid research is nearly wholly funded by the NIH. Their research as come to a near complete stop. Trials have stopped too.

This is the first time I have posted in this thread.
In spring 2021 I downloaded publicly available US VARS data that covered early COVID vaccination. The data is formatted in CVS format and was viewable in Excel.
I want to talk about what was in this data, but still feel I can't, lets just say the blood clots and myocarditis, and the UK governments 120k compensation for the very worse side effects are no surprise for me.
And please don't think I'm trolling or stirring up trouble or anything, I still have the VARS data on a HDD drive from almost 4 years ago. RFK in USA looks like he's going to investigate exactly what happened with everything and hopefully make the findings public.

What is VARS? Can you post it so it's shared in a google drive doc?
Sorry I mean VAERS, it's this
Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)
vaers.hhs.gov
Yes I might upload the document to a google drive.
EDIT 2021 data is still on VAERS.
The CSV file contains a 'DIED' field, sort the data on this, then read the comments that are written. I would like to copy out some of the things written in there but worried I get in trouble for re-posting them so won't.

An opinion article from one of the most prominent leading researchers into Long Covid, Amy D Proal, on the state of research and what needs to be done.
Opinion: Long COVID is solvable, but we need more clinical trials
Some people may remain ill after COVID infection because the virus still lurks in their bodies. The looming question now is: Who will pay for drug development and trials?
