So NAV, the welfare authority in Norway, notes a huge increase in lost work days to diagnosis of fatigue in the past two years. Who'd have thought that might happen?!

But by all means, let's keep pretending it's just a cold and there's no reason to adopt ANY protective measures other than vaccines (and even those are not as frequent as in some other countries). Because it's so good for the economy to get back to "normal" asap.

(Sorry for the rant but I'm in my 9th month of 50% sick leave and I know I'm lucky to even have this as an option, yet it's so clear the degree of gaslighting going on, it's making me crazy).

This is odd. JCVI know #vaccines reduce COVID-19 death & illness in previously healthy, younger people, incl. #LongCovid. I had #PostViralFatigue from COVID & I know several people with CFS/ME: post-viral conditions are no joke.

They should develop annual nasal #vaccination targeted to recent SARS-CoV-2 variants, at a cost to those at lower risk, i.e. in line with flu for which I'm eligible for free annual jabs. I can't get a further SARS-CoV-2 vaccine!
