Long COVID threatens to take people out of the workforce in a mass\u002Ddisabling event, which could end up bruising the economy. Read more.

Long COVID can be debilitating

“PCC affects the ability to work and perform daily tasks, creating considerable consequences for individuals and communities,” Nemer said. “The economic burden of PCC and the implications of the labour market in Canada could be profound.”Dr. Mona Nemer, Canada's chief science adviser . That amounts to billions of dollars in lost earnings. “The annual cost of those lost wages alone is around US$170 billion a year ,” the World Economic Forum said.Article content

For now, data on Canadian labour market impacts is scarce. But a 2022 survey of 1,050 COVID-19 “long-haulers” by VineX, an organization that studies how viruses affect the brain, suggests the consequences could be severe. Eighty per cent of poll respondents said their symptoms had a “negative or very negative” impact on their brain function, and more than 70 per cent said they had to take a leave from work as a result. Some were forced to completely exit the workforce.

We can't believe anything you report.

I think it's the crazy people obsessed with covid and 3 years in, their immune system is non existence. Or, it's in their heads.

Get that long CERB

LONG COVID IS THE VACCINE!

Just imagine what the vaccine injuries are going to do

🤡🤡🤡

So mass laziness

Long Covid symptoms and Vax injury side effects are the same… How long before they say long Covid causes aggressive cancer…that’s coming.

I don't think that's going to happen at all

Funny how of all the cases of covid I have seen, none of them got long covid. I dont know anyone who knows anyone who got long covid. Vaxed or not, they all recovered fine.

Meh, it’s seems mostly to be an issue of middle aged white women already prone to fibromyalgia. I think we’ll be ok. Worst case, HR managers will be in shorter supply.

On-going effects of lockdowns and health difficulties resulting from mRNA vaccines, also causing issues where Canada’s labour market is concerned.

People that don’t like their jobs and are lazy seem to get long Covid. Weird.

Lots of the unvaccinated complaining about long covid...wait...they aren't...why's that?

Fixed the title for you NP: 'Mass-disabling event': How COVID vaccine injuries could wreak havoc on Canada's labour market

It seems we are constantly looking for reasoning for people to not work...quite a country we are building

It's funny because almost no one knows someone with Long Covid just like almost no one knows someone that died of Covid. People are going to leave Canada for places that don't prioritize the neurotic.

How do we differentiate between ‘long covid’ and ‘long lockdown’? Mental and physical health harms from being forced to stay home and avoid people are real.

Actually... *adjusts neckbeard* the factor most wreaking havoc on Canada's labour market is Canada's absurd housing market.

Work's gotten really slow. I'm kind of worried to be honest. They really screwed us good.

We should all get bennies for having to put up with this farce.

Long covid isn't a thing. Vaccine side effects are what they are referring to.

The propaganda machine never takes a day off, does it?

I was healthy before Covid. I'm UnVaxed. I'm healthy now. When can I expect to get long covid? Do I get a bonus for not being vaxed? or some sort of compensation for being discriminated against under Vax Fuhrer Trudeau's mandate.

Has anyone looked at how many cases of long COVID are actually vaccine injuries? No, because our government thinks vaccine hesitancy is an even worse outcome than dying from the vaccine. If they looked they might something to worry about and cause vaccine hesitancy.

“Data is scarce” in Canada. Very convenient for crafting another narrative out of nothing.

Well some of us know the real explanation.

'Long covid'... I wonder what it actually is because getting the truth out of these 'people' is a joke...

At times you wonder if Covid was an enabler for a wide swath of hypochondriacs to stop boring their immediate family and move to a bigger stage. Not all. But some.

Nothing to do with the failed, untested inoculations that were essentially forced onto the majority of Canadians, including children!

Run this story on Friday like everyone else....

Enough with the propaganda
