They always were. The 12k dead were correctly reported to the feds but weren't being added to the State reports or tallies

So I have a question. I meant to post it here, but accidentally posted it in the lovely D&D thread.

Obviously there are a billion ways this virus can - and has - been brought to heel, but we won't do any of them in America because death cult and Libshits. So assuming that zero covid is impossible - it's not, but it's impossible in practice because America is a failed state - then it seems to me that the only realistic 'solution' is one that addresses the consequences of COVID. And with that in mind, three conclusions stand out to me as - from my understanding - consistent with the data.
1. The worst probable effects of COVID on an individual are death or long COVID.
2. The vaccines are, even with the somewhat waning efficacy we see, still quite effective at preventing death but seem to be at best 'better than nothing' at preventing long COVID. In either case, regular boosters will likely continue to ensure that, if all else stays the same, the vaccines will remain effective at preventing death.
3. Not everyone who gets COVID, vaccinated or not, and recovers suffers from long COVID.

Ergo it seems to me that maybe the 'solution' here inasmuch as there is or it is one, is to try and figure out why not everyone who gets COVID gets Long COVID and trying to reproduce that? Because I've got a friend in the UK who's a diabetic and got COVID and not only did he, thankfully, survive, but hes' fine now. No long COVID. While in contrast, plenty of people - some in this thread - healthier than him have been crippled by it.

Like is there any data or compelling theories? Why is it that it seems like whether or not you get long-term consequences from COVID seems utterly random and does not seem to correspond with age or comorbidities? There's a clear relationship between being unhealthy or old and dying from COVID, but not so much from whether or not COVID fucks you up for life.

there are plenty of horrible outcomes with covid inbetween death and long-covid. someone in here a few days ago mentioned they had a couple 30ish year old patients who were coming off a few days on the vent and now needed tracheotomies because the vent hosed up their trachs--that means they're going to live the rest of their life with a hole in their neck that they breath and talk through.

covid is a vascular disease so it can gently caress up pretty much any organ. people have needed double lung transplants, new livers, etc.. all kinds of stuff. it's probably what long covid symptoms ultimately are attributed from--covid just loving up and wreaking havoc on your circulatory system and all the things it can touch (everything in your body)

Your already in it. It's not exciting. It's never exciting. Hollywood lied to you. It's just everything getting really lovely while the authorities refuse to do anything. There will be no endemic violence. They will be no cathartic detonations of the powers that be. just everything getting worse in the most boring way possible until a group from outside the power structures kicks things over

you will not notice it when they do. it will simply look like the rational next step in everything else that happened. trmp

Isn't that more a consequence of the vent itself, rather than COVID, and falls under the purview of unfortunate breakthrough cases that *do* require hospitalization, which would be expected even under most normal circumstances?
Like my understanding - and again correct me if I'm wrong - is that those sorts of outcomes (hospitalization and/or death) would be expected as a minority of breakthrough cases, but by no means common assuming people are vaccinated and get boosters ever 4 months or so.

Like, again, my understanding is that the vaccines are by and large very good at preventing death and hospitalization and just bad at preventing whatever exactly long COVID is.
