Post-COVID-19 condition (PCC), commonly referred to as Long COVID, is defined as persisting symptoms 3 or more months after the initial SARS-CoV-2 infection that cannot be explained by an alternative diagnosis. The symptoms reported most often were fatigue, shortness of breath, muscle, joint and chest pain, headache, cough, loss of taste and/or smell, and diarrhea.

A study entitled “Association between virus variants, vaccination, previous infections, and post-COVID-19 risk” was published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases on August 25, 2023. Researchers compared the risk of developing PCC after infection with the original Wuhan virus, plus the subsequent Alpha, Delta, and Omicron variants.

It found that the people most likely to develop PCC had been infected with the original, now-extinct Wuhan strain; other risk factors included female sex, smoking, obesity, and other comorbidities. Vaccination had no impact on a person’s risk of developing PCC from Alpha, Delta, or Omicron; however having recovered naturally from a previous infection reduced the risk by 86%.

Dr. Joseph Varon, chief of the Critical Care and COVID-19 Department at the United Memorial Medical Center, noted one flaw in the study’s design; it did not look at whether the Fauci Ouchi put people at greater risk of developing Long COVID. Dr. Varon says this is what he has been seeing in his clinic.

“What I’m seeing is that the higher the number of boosters that you have, the more chances … you’re going to have long haul syndrome,” he said, adding that the majority of his long-haul patients are those who took four or more doses of the vaccine rather than those who took up to three doses or were unvaccinated.

Feel free to disagree with or ignore any of the people I’ve matched up with the various types of narcissism. I put them in mostly as graphic breaks to make it easier for you to follow the text, plus maybe a little bit to make you go “Hmmm.”

1. Overt narcissism is also known by several other names, including grandiose narcissism and agentic narcissism. Someone with overt narcissism might come across as outgoing, arrogant, entitled, overbearing, having an exaggerated self-image, needing to be praised and admired, exploitative, competitive, lacking empathy. People with overt narcissism are more likely to feel good about themselves and less likely to experience uncomfortable emotions like sadness, worry, or loneliness. They also tend to overestimate their own abilities and intelligence.

1a. Antagonistic narcissism is a sub-type of overt narcissism. With this aspect of narcissism, the focus is on rivalry and competition. Some features of antagonistic narcissism include arrogance, a tendency to take advantage of others, a tendency to compete with others, disagreeableness and a propensity to argue.

1b. Communal narcissism is another sub-type of overt narcissism, and it’s usually seen as the opposite of antagonistic narcissism. Someone with communal narcissism values fairness and is likely to see themselves as altruistic; they will tend to be easily morally outraged, describe themselves as empathetic and generous, and react strongly to things they see as unfair. However, their behavior will not demonstrate genuine concern for the well-being of others.

1c. Malignant narcissism is another sub-type of overt narcissism. Someone with malignant narcissism will have a strong need for praise and to be elevated above others, while also demonstrating vindictiveness, sadism (getting enjoyment from the pain of others), aggression when interacting with other people, and paranoia (heightened worry about potential threats). Someone with malignant narcissism is more likely to experience legal troubles or substance abuse.

2. Covert narcissism is also known as vulnerable narcissism and closet narcissism. Common traits of someone with covert narcissism include expressions of low self-esteem, higher likelihood of experiencing anxiety, depression, and shame, introversion, insecurity or low confidence, defensiveness, avoidance, tendency to feel or play the victim. Covert narcissists have a hard time accepting criticism but where an overt narcissist will find someone else to blame, a covert narcissist will internalize criticism, taking it more harshly than it was intended.

I absolutely LOVE the Trio Blanket crochet pattern by Susan Carlson. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/trio-blanket. This is one of hers.

They are so fun to crochet, because the colors shift every ten rows or so and it’s all just threes, so I can watch a movie and not mess up. Also, there is no weaving in at the end or need for a border to strengthen the sides, because the three cakes of yarn are continuous. Finally, the finished blanket is everybody’s favorite, because it is not just gorgeous, but also soft and light-weight with a wonderfully luxurious drape.

There are only two tricky parts. One is turning with three cakes attached; I love this pattern so much that I bought three wooden crochet bowls for the cakes. The other tricky part is designing them. They are made with Scheepjes (sheep yes) Whirl Cakes @ https://www.jimmybeanswool.com/knitting/yarn/Scheepjes/Whirl.asp. There are FIFTY different options, each with multiple color changes within the cake! Even after narrowing it down, the permutations of middle to outside vs. outside to middle add to the confusion … or glory, depending on how much one enjoys designing. ::I LOVE it::

I want to make a Trio Blanket for Bootz’s First Holy Communion gift and invited him to help me design it. The kid’s got an EYE. He came up with some yarn combos I wouldn’t have thought to try. He came up with the 6 three-somes (above). But it doesn’t end there. For each combo, there are four permutations, which makes for a staggering amount of choice.

While I was puttering with Paint, trying to make graphics to help him figure out his #1 favorite, I figured out a great way to design these things. First, I did a graphic of each cake, with its name, and a copy/paste clip of the most representative cross section. Then I combined the three cakes on to a single template where I could copy/paste the cross sections to show the four permutations.

I was having so much fun, I worked up a design I’ve had in mind for ages for my peacock-loving daughter. I grabbed a photo off the net and matched up the yarns as best as I could. Scheepjes Whirls sadly do not have any cakes with that brilliant turquoise, but I really like the combo I came up with. Maybe one of these days, I’ll even have time to make it. I’m a slow crocheter; each one takes me up to 6 months to complete … which is probably not a bad thing, since the yarn costs $100 per blanket. Yoiks.

READING SCIENTIFIC STUDIES: The article at the link is very interesting and helpful for anyone who, like me, wants facts, but has little to no science background for evaluating studies. Mostly, I depend on knowledgeable resources like the scientists at Consumer Lab, Igor Udov at Substack, and Dr. John Campbell at YouTube/Rumble to explain studies to me in lay terms. But occasionally, I want to dig deeper on my own. Here are some important points the author of Modern Discontent makes …

1. Most media outlets report on studies based solely on the contents of the abstract, which in many cases, is the only part of a study that is available online for free.
2. About 25% of the abstracts attached to published studies present the findings in ways that are inconsistent with the actual findings.
3. The methods section is important. E.g., One study that has been cited quite often by Ivermectin critics includes one in which the Ivermectin group was given Ivermectin only once. The researchers then pronounced that Ivermectin was useless and the lapdog media reported it over and over and over.
4. A good place to look for deceptive reporting is if the text describing a graphic does not match the graphic.
5. There is no perfect way to read a study, but this method helps one avoid being overwhelmed by the sciency stuff in the last Results and Methods sections: Title → Abstract → Introduction → Discussion → Results → Methods.

HEALTH: A study entitled “Volatile organic compounds emitted by conventional and “green” cleaning products in the U.S. market” was published last week in the journal Chemisphere. Researchers purchased and air chamber tested 28 popular cleaning products and 2 air fresheners for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) associated with neurotoxicity, elevated risk of cancer, and harm to the respiratory and reproductive systems. None of the products were free of VOCs. However, “across the group of 30 products tested here, green cleaning products emitted fewer VOCs and fewer hazardous VOCs than conventional products, and overall fragrance-free products had significantly lower emissions.”

The researchers found that “across the group of 30 products tested here, green cleaning products emitted fewer VOCs and fewer hazardous VOCs than conventional products, and overall fragrance-free products had significantly lower emissions.”

CatholicVote President Brian Burch noted, “Pro-life Catholic voters helped deliver him the White House in 2016, and a record number of votes in 2020. He cannot expect to win again without these same voters.” The problem there is that he is the leading (by a lot) Republican candidate who has any chance of winning.

GRAMMY NOTES: This is a crop from Rembrandt’s Prodigal Son. I was struck by the son’s feet. His right foot appears to be wrapped in rags and, where his heel was exposed, has been cut by a stone on the road. His left foot is bare, because he has kicked off his left shoe, which reminds me of how God in the burning bush told Moses, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” –Exodus 3:5. It is such a striking image of how we come to God the Father in poverty and humility, aware of our sinfulness and of His holiness.

COVID-19: A study entitled “Severe SARS-CoV-2 infection as a marker of undiagnosed cancer: a population-based study” was recently published in the journal Scientific Reports.

Using France’s National Health Data System, researchers analyzed cancer incidence 41,302 patients who had been hospitalized due to severe COVID-19 infection between February 2020 and August 2021 and 713,670 individuals who were not hospitalized due to infection. The two groups were matched in terms of gender, age, and geographic location.

The COVID-19 group showed a higher incidence of cancer. For renal cancer and leukemia, the risk was more than three times as high. The study did not establish a causal relationship between cancer and severe COVID-19 infection, but researchers believe that a severe case of COVID-19 may be a warning sign of undiagnosed cancer.

On Wednesday, the latest Consumer Price Index report showed inflation increased from 3.2% in July to 3.7% in August. On Thursday, Special Counsel David Weiss announced that Hunter Biden is being charged with three felony gun counts. And, on Friday, the UAW threatened to strike if they don’t get a 46% pay raise, a shorter workweek, and other new benefits.

GEORGIA: On Thursday, Judge Scott McAfee of Fulton County Superior Court ruled that the trials of Trump’s former attorneys, Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell, will begin in late October and that Trump’s trial will not begin until after those are done.

LOUISIANA: Under current Louisiana state law, Louisiana families are only allowed to move their children from “a failing school to a higher performing public school,” severely limiting school choice and parental preference. The teachers union loudly supports this in public. But in private, the union got its teachers the right to move their kids to whatever school they want, including to non-public schools.

S&G: Jesse Scott Johnson (AKA “Jessica Lillian Johnson”) is part of the ABDL (Adult Baby and Diaper Lover) community, whose members obtain sexual pleasure from wearing diapers and being humiliated. He also works as a barista at a Starbucks in Ballwin, Missouri. Libs of TikTok notified The Missouri Department of Health & Senior Services to notify them of this video and inquire if it violates any health codes. Turns out it does, and now they’re investigating the violations of health and food codes.

VAXXX: A new study entitled “COVID-19 Infection Rates in Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Inmates: A Retrospective Cohort Study” was recently published in the Cureus journal. Researchers analyzed data from 33 California state prisons, primarily a male population of 96,201 individuals. They found a statistically significant difference in the numbers of unvaxxxed prisoners vs. bivalent-boosted prisoners who caught the ‘rona during the first six months of this year. Specifically, 2.72% of the unjabbed got sick as compared to 3.24% of the boostered. The bivalent vaccines were authorized without clinical trial data and no efficacy data has been produced to this day.

GRAMMY NOTES: Update on the USPS stamp scam … Dearest took print outs of my emails and the fake stamps to our local postmistress. She couldn’t have cared less that the stamps might be counterfeit. “I’d take them. They look fine.” ::sigh:: So anyway, yesterday I had a really nice, very fun chat with one of our local cops. He was most intrigued by my tale, but had zero idea what he could either do or recommend I do. We did have a great time just getting to know each other, which was a bonus for me; I rarely have visitors. Plus, I gotta say … every time I have had any interaction with the Dryden PD, it has been so positive. We are really blessed! I’m thinking maybe I’ll try to find out if the USPS has a fraud department.

BIDENOMICS: Inflation in August hit the highest monthly increase of the year. And, thanks to Democrats, as prices have been steadily going up, income has been steadily going down. In 2021, the median household income in the U.S. was about $76,300; today, it is just under $74,600. In 2021, the percentage of our population on government assistance was 5.2%; today, it is 12.4%.

COVID-19: A senior-level CIA whistleblower has reportedly told leaders of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic that the CIA offered to pay off six analysts to bury their findings that the virus probably leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China.

GEORGIA: A Fulton County Superior Court Judge has officially severed the cases of defendants Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell from former President Donald Trump and 16 co-defendants saying, “severing the remaining 17 co-defendants is simply a procedural and logistical inevitability.“

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is prosecuting the case, has repeatedly asked to try all 19 defendants together. Trying them separately will be a logistical nightmare.

NEW MEXICO: On Friday, Gov. Grisham signed an emergency “public health” order that banned open and concealed firearms in Albuquerque, and surrounding Bernalillo County. On Wednesday, a federal judge blocked part of the order. Now the Attorney General says he won’t defend the ban in court, because “I do not believe it passes constitutional muster.”

NEW YUCK CITY: During his campaign, Mayor Eric Adams applauded NYC’s commitment to being a so-called sanctuary city for illegals. Now he complains that he can not handle the 10,000 migrants a month that besieged southern states are sending him, whining “This issue will destroy New York City.”

FACT CHECK: Sanctuary cities get only a tiny fraction of what’s coming across border. Border Patrol’s Tucson, AZ sector just had almost 11,000 in one week. And they’re only one of nine sectors along the southern border.

S&G: Remember the anti-Catholic drag group that was honored by the Los Angeles Dodgers? One of them has been arrested for indecent exposure. According to the police report, he sat in his car with the door open, masturbating, for an hour in broad daylight on a Saturday at a public beach side park. A witness says he had his left leg out the open door of the truck and right leg up on the dashboard with no pants on. “He wants everyone to see what he’s doing.”

This same perv has been invited to a school in the past to teach children about “Pride” groom children for future sexual abuse.

TERRORISM: The Biden administration’s Department of Homeland Security gave a $530,000 anti-terrorism grant to Sexual Minority Youth Assistance League, a far-left LGBTQ group that “supports and empowers LGBTQ youth ages 6-24.” They do this, in part, by distributing condoms to children and giving pervie adults access to children without parental supervision.

Their manifesto, which was inspired by the Black Panther Party’s Ten-Point Program, promises “to bravely and ferociously fight for our communal liberation” by working for “the Abolition of the Police, ICE, Borders and the Judicial System”; “an End of the Cisgender Heterosexual Patriarchy”; “Reparations for all Indigenous and Black Peoples,” “Indigenous reclamation of stolen lands”; and “free and non-compulsory education for all ages.”

It has become increasingly clear that the Left Stream Media has gotten the memo that Joe Biden is done.

On Sept 12, Washington Post columnist David Ignatius published a piece explaining why he doesn’t want Biden/Harris to run for reelection. Numero Uno appears to be that the Dems don’t think they can cheat another win for him against Trump.

Last month, CNN did a whole show about how horrible the Biden economy is and how low Biden’s approval rating is. “We always said Donald Trump had such a low approval rating, right? But if you look, what you see is that Donald Trump’s approval rating was actually slightly larger than Joe Biden’s was at this point.”

The Varvel cartoon above is only two months old. Now, it is out of date. On Tuesday, CNN reported that the White House had sent them and a bunch of other major news outlets a letter instructing them to intensify their scrutiny of House Republicans “for opening an impeachment inquiry based on lies.” The article was kind of mealy-mouthed, but the fact that they published it at all is Big News.

Then, on Wednesday, CNN did a piece about Biden’s frequent confabulations. CLICK https://twitter.com/TPostMillennial/status/1701968189263929537 [1:36] to hear them act like this is something they only just now noticed.

Until very recently, the White House spox was literally sharing a bed with a CNN anchor. Jean-Pierre says she and her ex, Suzanne Malveaux, are now “co-parenting” their 9-year-old daughter, Soleil. Now, there are lots of reasons a couple splits up, but one has to wonder if at least one of them was their jobs.
