Since the initial drafting of this article, the following committees have: The report was releasedHowever, the Scottish Government is yet to respond to this.
In January 2023, Scotland Parliament announces of COVID-19 Reconstruction Committeewas tasked with investigating the impact of the disease, which has been dubbed “Long Covid.” An estimated 187,000 Scots are said to be affected..
Official statistics (provided by the ONS in the UK) are Estimated value In this regard, all data Self-reportingIf the ONS' figures for people affected by “long covid” are accurate, it would cover 3.4% of Scotland's population.
I have been making Freedom of Information requests for several months for other Covid-related research and have recently learned that the statistics the ONS is providing are “experimental”. The ONS states clearly “We advise caution when using the data,” the ONS warned.
Categorization is unclear: for example, some participants may have experienced symptoms due to health conditions unrelated to COVID-19.
of WHO definitionIof 'length COVID' is (emphasis added): “of Persistent symptoms or new symptoms appearing 3 months after initial SARS-CoV-2 infectionWith these symptoms Lasts for at least 2 months There is no other explanation.” Over 200 Various symptoms.
Standards in Scotland are much lower
However, here in Scotland, the provisional definition of “long Covid” has changed the threshold for symptoms to persist from 12 weeks to four weeks, and the lowering of the threshold will clearly result in a significant increase in reporting of this condition.
John Harden, Deputy National Clinical Director; “Long Covid” explained Inclusive terminology for Symptoms last for more than 4 weeks Next COVID infection. People who experience long corona are divided into two groups. He told the Expert Advisory Group:People who have experienced severe symptoms of COVID-19, And those who didn't experience Severe COVID-19 infection But the symptoms persist.
Despite this standard, Jane Clare Judson, CEO of Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland, I said in February In a Scottish Parliamentary Inquiry:
Finally, I hope that the Scottish Chest Heart and Stroke Hospital will not be overwhelmed with Covid-19 patients. And at the moment, We are not overwhelmed.
What she means here is that 'Long Covid' patients in Scotland are not being recognised by GPs enough to be referred to specialists, and this is likely because, as mentioned above, there is overlap in symptoms with many common illnesses.
Problems with diagnosing “long corona”
Clearly, this is a confusing and subjective diagnostic framework that is open to abuse. Misdiagnosis This will be reported alongside many other common symptoms – for example, if you have an asymptomatic “positive” PCR test for COVID-19 followed by a persistent cough, back pain or feeling depressed for more than four weeks, this will be reported as “long corona.”
So TimesSir John Bell, professor of medicine at Oxford University, Repeated the problem Specifically, we used UK ONS data to examine associations with ‘Long Covid’ diagnoses.
Many readers will know that a very similar illness known as myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome has been around for decades. It is a long-term illness that has marginalized sufferers since its discovery decades ago. There is still no effective treatment, and once-healthy patients suddenly become bedridden, many with limited mobility, and rarely ever fully recover. The close connection between “Long Covid” and ME/CFS is Listed on the ME Association websiteDr. Charles Shepherd said:
The ME Association believes that Long Covid and ME/CFS are both examples of serious and debilitating symptoms that can accompany any kind of viral infection.
Importantly, he warns:
Not everyone with long COVID can be confirmed to have had COVID-19 in the past.
I personally do not know anyone who has suffered from “Long Covid” or who has died or become seriously ill from the disease known as Covid-19 during the past three years of the “pandemic,” but I will acknowledge that the symptoms do exist and can be debilitating for some. testimony In the Scottish Parliament.
No new illnesses
It is one of the most populous local authorities in Scotland and will close in February 2023. South Lanarkshire Council's Freedom of Information response “Long Covid” reason for Absence from work From the Council, do not have Of the thousands of staff employed by South Lanarkshire Council, 99.86% have not reported the illness over a three-year period, but what is more shocking is that there has been a 97% increase in reports of “long Covid” in 2021. This was after the introduction of COVID-19, a new coronavirus pandemic.vaccine'There is no real evidence that vaccination reduces the disease known as “Long Covid” as has been claimed. Quite the opposite.
In other words, “Long Covid” do not have The Scottish Government has warned that the disease is new, may have been over-hyped and there is no effective treatment. Yet the Scottish Government has decided to prioritise it and allocate time and funds to it. Is the Scottish Government justified in placing such a high priority on this issue given the country's economic development prospects? My Data? Are there other health concerns for Scottish residents that should be a priority? I'm sure there are.

The government’s own data shows numerous recorded injuries and deaths from Covid-19 “vaccines”, as well as unusually high levels of excess infection. NonMortality from coronaviruses. Historically, it has been known that up to 99% of adverse events from vaccines go unreported. Public Health Scotland's own coronavirus “vaccine” surveillance system ( MHRA Yellow Card Scheme) detailed 36 deaths and a total of 641 adverse events, including anaphylaxis and Guillain-Barré syndrome, associated with the COVID-19 vaccination.
Regarding the mortality rate of “Long Covid”, data from the National Record Office for Scotland shows that: no Three years into the pandemic, there has been an increase in deaths due to the disease (also recorded as the “post-COVID-19 state”) as the underlying cause.

Is the coronavirus vaccine the cause?
So, will members of the parliamentary committee ask how many patients with “long corona” could have been harmed by the experimental corona “vaccine”? Accepted as reality In the scientific literature.
Furthermore, Dr Kevin Deans, a consultant chemical pathologist at NHS Grampian in the north-east of Scotland, who is researching “long Covid”, said on BBC Radio Scotland in January 2022 that “long Covid” caused by the corona “vaccine” has not been fully recognised or adequately assessed.
Now evidence is emerging that some people have a similar condition (“long Covid”) after receiving the vaccine (…). So we need to get serious about understanding how big this problem is.
this is Reconfirmation In February 2023, Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, Deputy Director of the CDC in the United States, said:
We are aware that there have been reports of people experiencing long-term health issues after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
And he is one of the world's leading pathologists. ProfessorEssole Arne BurckhardtBefore his recent death, he claimed that many of the side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine are due to the toxic spike protein that is expressed by the recipient, causing a “long corona” condition. All organs are affected, Blood vesselsheart, brain, and reproductive system.
Dr Clare Taylor, who advises the Scottish Government, said: said She believes “long Covid” is “a condition that has vascular causes.”
When I asked her on social media in 2022 whether the Covid vaccine could cause “Long Covid”, she immediately blocked me.
She also believes that despite the highest level of evidence, mask-wearing is an effective mitigation measure to stop aerosolized respiratory “viruses.” Real World Data These are useless and have actually proven to be dangerous to users and the environment.

We really need to wonder why the Scottish Government and its “experts” are ignoring higher standards of evidence and trusting very low quality data from experimental ONS estimates, despite Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) constantly denying that COVID mRNA “vaccines” are causing widespread health problems. Now that there is no more evidence to back this up, there is no excuse. State Assemblyman John Mason said that the side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine are minor and rare, and that the benefits of getting vaccinated are (Jug Scottish) outweigh the risks.

It is also relevant that the Scottish survey into excess deaths was only completed in 2022 with only 109 responses. Shockingly, almost a third of respondents said that Covid-19 “vaccines” are extremely harmful. This real-world data, which also included feedback from Scottish citizens, is the exact opposite of Mason's claim.

So why investigate?
Based on the above information, Political Footballcould in effect be seen as a whitewash to cover up the damage caused by the many COVID-19 “vaccinations” I have witnessed first-hand locally. It has also been noted around the world that since the experimental shots began, more people have begun to provide detailed reports of their vaccination results. Debilitating vaccine Injurya UK column conducted a series of horrifying interviews. I highly recommend watching the full documentary. vinegarF and pictureEffective—a vinegarSecond ohPinion.
As a logical person, I would conclude by asking myself the following questions:
- If large numbers of people in Scotland are actually suffering from chronic health problems as a direct result of the experimental Covid ‘vaccine’, how would the Government know?
- The Scottish Government and Parliament seem uninterested in finding out the truth. Is the Recovery Commission following the evidence honestly, or is it doing something else?
- Perhaps it would be more appropriately named the Covid–19 Cover-up Committee?
Debating with someone who has abandoned the use of reason is like administering medicine to a dead person.
