Many of us have been disabled with Long Covid for years now, since 2020. We would not have been sick and would have been working all these years if not for the federal government and their gain-of-function bioweapon.
Improvement is possible… just expensive. I temporarily improved, but had to stop helpful treatments because I could not afford them and the toll of inflation too. Credit cards can only carry you so long…
This is not like vax injury caused by an employer’s vaccine mandate. In that case, we could sue our employer. In this instance, we have been deprived of income and forced to spend, in some cases, tens of thousands of dollars for treatment… without any recourse. We cannot sue Fauci. We cannot sue the federal government. We have no way of recovering our lives, our health, and our income.
The government should have to make this right.
I realize the likelihood of this is next to zero. It also seems the government could not afford it. But we can spend:
- $2 billion on the National Science Foundation for DEI.
- Over $100 Billion laundered through Ukraine to American defense contractors and politicians.
- Half a trillion to make the invasion of illegal aliens happen—even providing their food, transportation, housing, and utilities for years (including paying $2000 rent for them every month).
But there is somehow nothing left for the people who had their lives and livelihoods robbed by their own government.
Fauci’s victims need a way of getting well and getting back on their feet.
**A note on the expense. People who haven’t dealt with chronic illness may not understand that the most helpful treatment for chronic illness is a functional medicine type of approach… and every cost incurred is out-of-pocket
It’s costing me $1k a month to be barely functional and merely able to breathe when sedentary. It required nearly $2k a month for me to feel well enough to work part-time. (Only part-time. More than that sent me to bed sick. To improve more, would cost more.) So, at least for some people with severe cases, it would require at least $25k a year or more to even begin to make them whole.
The most helpful labs are self-pay. And most of the best treatments are too. (Example: Peptides can be enormously helpful for chronic illness. The safest, most economical option for this is usually custom compounded. After the ACA was passed, all insurance companies decided they could not afford to meet the ACA requirements and continue to cover custom compounded medications, so they stopped covering them in 2014 months prior to when the ACA went into effect. Peptides are self-pay. The only thing that relieved my Long Covid asthma was a peptide nasal spray. Asthma ordinarily wouldn’t be that big of a deal, but no inhalers or biologics helped, and all food triggered asthma for me after LC. So no nutrition at all was possible without peptides… which I had to stop, thanks to inflation.)
For someone to be able to obtain doctor visits, tests, and all treatment necessary, $25k a year is not unexpected.
I had a misdiagnosed infectious disease 30 years ago and spent a decade in a wheelchair and confined to bed. To recover from that degree of illness required hundreds of thousands of dollars of out-of-pocket, self-pay expenses. I testified in our state legislature and had to state the cost. At the time, about 4 years after diagnosis and 8 years into the disabling illness, the total spent was almost half a million dollars. In today’s dollars, the amount would be $800k. So $100,000 per year essentially.
This kind of cost is not out of the ordinary for chronic disease, especially when the only means of treating it effectively is a functional medicine type of approach. Those kinds of physicians and treatments are never covered by insurance.
Even if a miracle cure is eventually discovered, the inflammation in the body will have had years to inflict damage. The body has to heal at the cellular level. That requires functional medicine … years of time … and significant expense.
It would be nice if we could either get a tax break (which I posted in another observation, suggesting a tax deduction for all out-of-pocket medical expenses, not just after a percentage of AGI) or direct compensation (in what would essentially amount to compensatory damages) to help with the expenses we’re incurring because of our government.
Again, not likely. And given the millions of people who have Long Covid, it’s probably not affordable for the country. (If just two million people are disabled with Long Covid and they receive only a one-time payment of $25k each, the total cost to the government would be $50 Billion.) But even $10k or less would help. Anything would help.)
The families of people who died from Covid also deserve some kind of compensatory damages, especially young families in which the main breadwinner died from Covid (not with, but from Covid). So if the government were to begin compensating one group, all of Fauci’s victims would need to be compensated.
I want Congress to cut our wasteful spending. The country is a decade away from financial collapse. I don’t want to contribute to that in any way. (Reason why I held the draft of this observation for weeks without posting it.) So…
If this isn’t possible, then please just put Fauci in jail. The man is the worst mass murderer in history, and he stole the health of millions more.
