I agree with you - except for the bit about "there is no unique viral pathogen". I think that most of us who have experienced "covid" would agree that it is not the same as a cold, or any other type of flu. The disease progression is quite weird, experientially. (I don't know if I got the delta or the omicron version, but I had about 5 days of mild cold-like symptoms, then lost taste/smell, then just as it seemed to be getting better I crashed with severe fatigue and dizziness - only lasted a day because I cheated & used some non-mainstream treatments, but it was very, very different from any other respiratory illness.)

I agree that it has been way over-hyped, and that the high lethality is most likely because of denial of appropriate treatment. I have no answer to any of the questions about long covid, or other issues about the effects of the spike protein - but I don't think these things should be dismissed.

And I agree that the whole motivation for the scamdemic needs to be closely examined, and the imminent collapse of the world financial system seems to be a key factor.

We just don't want to rush to make assumptions that we have the whole story, when it is possible that there are multiple factors at play here.

If you google flu loss of smell or taste with a To Date: 2015, you'll find heaps of medical papers about it pre-coof.

"Atypical pneumnoia" rolls around every year.

The symptoms you just described are age old.

Can I ask why you think the illness you describe is caused by a viral pathogen?

And may I ask why you think that is a useful question?

Because it sounds to me as though you have an agenda, most likely an agenda about proving me wrong in some way, and TBH I am not really interested in getting into an unwinnable fight with someone who has already made up their mind on these matters.

One thing that has been in the back of my mind is that taste and smell are heavily linked. Also, if you look at where your smell receptors are, they are located right where people have been jabbing swabs for the PCR tests. Is it possible there is some rupturing or interference causing this phenomenon in some people?

Myself, I've never had a PCR test.

But the olfactory bulb is right up there adjacent to the nasal passage, so any viral (or other) damage to the nasal mucosa could easily affect olfactory receptors or pathway neurones.

And of course taste and smell are linked - which is why I put them together as taste/smell. Technically, it is the sense of smell that went (for me) - no problem with sweet/salt/sour/bitter, the actual taste senses.
