UPDATE 1 in comments: Another POS "mod" is sending people to the site of - Michael Turner MD - a FLCCC anti vaccine "online" doc who actually DID kill a patient with his nasty "protocol."
I used to visit r/longcovid to hear what other people were experiencing and see if they had found good Docs/helpul info/studies. It was mostly people complaining and telling their stories so I stopped reading awhile ago but last month went back and all I saw was anti-everything assholes.
Today I saw a warning on another place that I visit that the mods are telling people the vaccine causes long covid and they lock their comments to prevent corrections. Now I see why. The dummy who originally made the account and got a lot of vulnerable sick people to join… passed it on to assholes from a grifting antivaxxer site.
Trolls took it... you big dummy! And the mods are the ones spewing the anti-vaccine lies.
It is not just any old wellness group it is… it is The Wellness Company, with conspiracy POS Peter A. McCullough as its Chief “Science” officer.
The only "solutions" offered by covidCAREgroup on their website are supplements sold by The Wellness Company. For those not in the know, The Wellness Company pushes dietary supplement quackery for both COVID-19 prevention and recovery. This includes supplements to "detox" from "COVID-19 vaccine injury." The entire company was founded as an anti-vaxxer grift, which is why their Chief Scientific Officer is noted COVID misinformation superspreader Peter A. McCullough. McCullough was a prominent early advocate for the use of hydroxychloroquine and has made numerous false claims about COVID-19 vaccine safety and efficacy, particularly concerning the spike protein produced by the mRNA vaccines. Last year, the American Board of Internal Medicine recommended his board certification be revoked.
The QUACK DOC also was at an anti-vaccine “hearing” done in some hotel and spinsired by whoknowswho and videotaped to look official… (Reminded me of Giuliani’s fake “hearings” taking affidavits and “testimony” from paid shills spewing lies)
It is a freaking blog site. At the heart of the site, these grifters are doing what I and others do here, but in opposite land. They are not there to help. They are there to direct you to buy things, and then go to their Fecesbook and Reddit pages to tell their stories… and get other poor suckers to come by and BUY! Their motto is a longer version of “Do Your own research!”
“The most powerful tool in your recovery is knowledge. We are here to help you help yourself by learning to advocate for yourself and taking charge of your health.”
And lucky you! You can become a paid member or donate to the cause!
The founder is a nurse.
I read her one blog that seemed sensible ... until the part where she makes unsourced claims… that her “mods” are repeating. “There is a lot to consider when making choices around vaccines. The COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective but carry a risk of developing long COVID issues. “ After that it is all grift. She uses a SCREENSHOT with URLS you cannot use to add info about vaccines, then adds info to get supplements… with working URLS… imagine that!
At the bottom of her blog:
COVID Care Group, LLC, (CCG) offers clinical education and healthcare resources, but is not a healthcare provider that renders medical diagnosis or treatment.
The CCG is a community support organization run by volunteers focused on education, research, and resources, and does not receive federal or private funding.
COVID Care Group is not a not for profit organization. Donations, gifts & memberships are not tax-deductible.
The grifting MSM Melaleuca also is under the name... The Wellness Company. Are they affiliated? I have no idea and refuse to go down rabbit holes at my age, but should someone have expertise in searching perhaps you can find out more. (FYI: I was one of the first to blog about Q and 4/8 Chan, researching and compiling info about LOSER45 for Dems in 2015... to no avail, and then delving into the spider web of "Natural News" since even before the pandemic... I am tired and somewhat disillusioned. I really don't wish to leave this world with hate in my heart for humanity ... but Damnnnnnnnnnnn!... it is going to be tough)
LLC Nonprofit RN. Another know it all with a license. Ughhhh!
They are no longer hiding it... they are FLCCC affiliated! The grift is disgusting!
And this is the new heading.
There is no longer a place to find decent info about long COVID on Reddit! Grrrrr! Anyone searching here for "long COVID in the lower forum search is much better off...
OS: I am adding a new post: NEWS for anyone suffering from Long-COVID
I get MedPage in my email everyday. Here is one article from today's: https://www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/faustfiles/108333?xid=nl_mpt_DHE_2024-01-19&eun=g1680515d0r&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily%20Headlines%20Evening%202024-01-19&utm_term=NL_Daily_DHE_dual-gmail-definition

UPDATE 1
I visited r/longcovid and it seems the reports are working. (I am not "on" Reddit. It is a hell hole site , but I lurk for a few good posters. If YOU are on it , please report this shyster.)
The "mod" scammers are being more cagey, but I still found a reply from one. Note it is locked so that no one can comment and fact check...
The link takes you to this guy's site... Losing My (Vaccine) Religion: A Doctor’s Journey From Hope to Despair - Michael Turner MD. IOW, "How I became a Doc who preferred making money by killing patients."
He is an FLCCC anti vaccine "online" doc who actually DID kill a patient with his nasty "protocol"... https://www.tri-cityherald.com/news/local/article277928293.html
ANNNNNNNNNND guess what? He is still doing it... https://michaelturnermd.com/covid-treatment/
Sorry, getting nursing credentials is not that hard. Lots of morons slither through, and then we have this. I have Eternal Hate In My Heart for these POS nurses who contaminate my profession.
My daughter is 38 and has had LONG Covid for over a year and a half. She got it after a case of Covid. She is now getting treatment from a group called RTHM (doctors and researchers). They keep testing her and try various treatments for the issues that she has (she has PoTS, and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, and probably other things). Sometimes, what they prescribe for one thing, helps that one thing, but makes something else worse, so they back off and try something else. Unfortunately, it is expensive and all out of pocket, since even though she has good health insurance, if sometrhing is not approved by the FDA for treatment of that exact thing, it is not covered (I think). You can see what they say on their website (they treat other things besides LONG Covid: https://rthm.com/
