Correct, a ventilator alone doesn't cinch the diagnosis in my or other cases. The diagnosis of my COVID-19, like many diagnoses, follows a pattern, a diagnosis cinched by:
• acute and convalescent antibody titers
• cytokine profile
• symptom profile, physical, imaging findings,
• acute and convalescent clinical course
that in aggregate are quite unlike any "sniffles" or "flu" that I have ever had.
Just as red bumps on your skin are not always "acne," the diagnosis of a rash depends on the pattern, exposure, and time course. Sometimes the red bumps are measles, poison oak, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, or Ebola.
Sure, people get fever, cough, and "ground glass" opacities on Chest CT from "flu." Some people even get quadriplegia from post-"flu" Guillain-Barre Syndrome… BUT my quadriplegia was not the "ascending" (toes first then extending upwards) pattern of Guillain-Barre. Who have you ever met who 1-2 years after "flu" continues to have chest pain, severe exertional intolerance, and profound fatigue? Do you personally know of anyone who lost their hearing, taste, and smell, have permanent whole body neuropathy, or lost 70% of lung capillaries from "flu"?
Admittedly there were numerous reports of bogus diagnoses of COVID, e.g., gun-shot wounds with COVID death certificates, "cases" pf papayas with PCR + results. Admittedly, every faction is vested in which data to believe and disbelieve, BUT COVID exists. Most get well without permanent damage (long term, who knows? Maybe there will be delayed consequences, as Parkinsonism following "Spanish flu."), but millions died and millions more are seriously messed up unlike any "flu."
I have no onus to prove the cause of my illness to you or anyone, but I think you do a disservice with your sweeping generalizations and a greater disservice with your discredited claims ("never isolated"), but you can believe any damn thing you choose.
Lastly, there is the matter of my wager… Talk is cheap.…
I wager that any random FLCCCA member, bar none, has helped more people than you have.
I agree the FLCCA has helped more people. No argument there.
That doesn't mean there aren't red flags that people should be aware of including promoting reliance on the early detection, masking and "social distancing", early quarantine and track and trace measures that are part of the emerging surveillance state.
The stats show that the majority of flu cases have been rebranded since nobody gets the flu anymore.
I can't know for sure, Mark, but the symptoms you describe are not flu symptoms and there may be some other variables to consider such as graphene poisoning. The ground glass lung is one of many symptoms from graphene poisoning which include:
"In addition, several typical mechanisms underlying GFN toxicity have been revealed, for instance, physical destruction, oxidative stress, DNA damage, inflammatory response, apoptosis, autophagy, and necrosis. In these mechanisms, (toll-like receptors-) TLR-, transforming growth factor β- (TGF-β-) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) dependent-pathways are involved in the signalling pathway network, and oxidative stress plays a crucial role in these pathways."
https://particleandfibretoxicology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12989-016-0168-yIn 2016 they were testing to see just how much graphene poisoning the human body can take before severe damage and death occurs.
