The Invisible Pandemic: What Science Is Finally Admitting About (Long) COVID
Send us a text
They told us it would be over in two weeks.
They told us that once you recover, you're fine.
They were wrong about all of it.
Three years into this pandemic, we're finally getting clarity on what COVID actually does to our bodies long-term. The evidence is overwhelming, disturbing, and deliberately downplayed by those who want us to "move on" without addressing the slow-motion public health disaster unfolding around us.
I've spent the last week poring over the Nature Reviews Immunology article that forms the basis of a recent scientific deep dive podcast on long COVID. What I found should terrify anyone still clinging to the fantasy that this virus is "mild" or "endemic" or "just something we need to live with."
Let's be clear: At minimum, 10% of everyone who gets COVID—regardless of vaccination status, severity of initial infection, or personal health—develops some form of long COVID. The real number is likely higher.
That's not a small problem. That's a society-altering catastrophe. continue reading the article
This is Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy
Independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, clinical, global, and community conversations about things that matter. Breathe Easy, we go deep and lightly surface the big ideas.
Thanks for listening today!
Four recurring narratives underlie every episode: boundary dissolution, adaptive complexity, embodied knowledge, and quantum-like uncertainty. These aren’t just philosophical musings but frameworks for understanding our modern world.
We hope you continue exploring our other podcasts, responding to the content, and checking out our related articles on the Heliox Podcast on Substack.

Curated, independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, evidenced-based, clinical & community information regarding COVID-19. Since 2017, it has focused on Covid since Feb 2020, with Multiple Stores per day, hence a large searchable base of stories to date. More than 4000 stories on COVID-19 alone. Hundreds of stories on Climate Change.
Zoomers of the Sunshine Coast is a news organization with the advantages of deeply rooted connections within our local community, combined with a provincial, national and global following and exposure. In written form, audio, and video, we provide evidence-based and referenced stories interspersed with curated commentary, satire and humour. We reference where our stories come from and who wrote, published, and even inspired them. Using a social media platform means we have a much higher degree of interaction with our readers than conventional media and provides a significant amplification effect, positively. We expect the same courtesy of other media referencing our stories.
