Medical Scholars in Thailand Worry Long COVID-19 and Vaccines May Cause Disease and Death

According to medical scholars from Chulalongkorn and Rangsit Universities in Thailand, Long COVID-19 and vaccines might let hidden diseases surface, weaken immunity and lead to cancer and brain disorders.

Prof Dr Thiravat Hemachudha, director of the Thai Red Cross Emerging Infectious Diseases Health Science Centre at Chulalongkorn University, issued the warning, as did Panthep Puapongphan, dean of Rangsit University’s College of Oriental Medicine.

They noted on Sunday that symptoms that lasted more than three months following COVID-19 infection were known as “long COVID” and included heart, lung, and nerve problems and inflammation of the skin, tendons, fibrous tissue, muscles, and joints.

Scientists could also cause cancer and reactivate previously dormant infections like herpes, scientists claimed.

Prof Dr Thiravat and Mr Panthep indicated that there were efforts to conceal statistics concerning the persons afflicted and killed by vaccinations, resulting in an unreasonably low official number of people impacted.

As a result, many patients were unaware that immunizations impacted them and could not obtain appropriate therapy.

They also stated that Thai mortality rates had increased since the COVID-19 pandemic. They recommended an investigation to determine whether it was related to immunizations. They did not provide pertinent figures.

According to studies conducted in other nations, the COVID-19 vaccine killed some people and caused harm to various systems, including their heart, blood, and respiratory systems.

Furthermore, the Faculty of Medicine at Chulalongkorn University discovered that approximately 100 COVID-19 vaccine recipients had inflammation and protein abnormalities indicative of brain diseases, with some already exhibiting symptoms.

Prof Dr Thiravat and Mr Panthep also cited Ramathibodi Hospital as presenting a research effort by the Faculty of Medicine at Mahidol University that found that after their third COVID-19 vaccination, some persons showed inadequate T-cell immunity. It meant that numerous vaccines could decrease immunity, they explained.

They argued that accurate statistics should be made public so individuals can make educated vaccination decisions.

Long COVID-19

The term “Long-term COVID-19” refers to a condition in which people continue to have COVID-19 symptoms after the acute phase of the sickness has subsided. While most people recover from COVID-19 within a few weeks, some people, termed “long-haulers,” have symptoms that extend for weeks or months.

Long-term COVID-19 symptoms may include exhaustion, shortness of breath, chest pain, joint pain, difficulty concentrating (brain fog), loss of taste or smell, and other neurological problems. These symptoms greatly impact a person’s quality of life and everyday functioning.

The specific cause of prolonged COVID-19 is unknown, and it can affect people with mild and severe instances of the initial infection. Researchers are actively investigating this phenomenon to better understand its underlying mechanics.

Treatment for long COVID-19 is largely concerned with symptom management and increasing affected patients’ general well-being. This could entail a multimodal approach that includes drugs, physical therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and assistance from healthcare specialists.

Individuals experiencing persistent symptoms of a COVID-19 infection should seek medical attention and collaborate with healthcare experts to manage their symptoms and monitor their health. Long COVID-19 is becoming better understood, and continuing research aims to learn more about its causes, risk factors, and potential therapies.
