Five years after COVID-19 lockdowns punished physical activity outside the home, possibly facilitating adverse events mistaken for biologically elusive "long COVID," the Empire State is explicitly warning residents that exercise is a threat to their health.And if you can't trust a New York politician, who can you trust?
The claim that "physical activity" is an "underlying medical condition" that increases a person's risk of "severe COVID" showed up in the New York State Department of Health's guidance to pharmacists and physicians on how to circumvent Trump administration policies so that all New Yorkers ages 3 and up, regardless of health, can get COVID vaccines.
A physician who works in New York and New Jersey sent the Sept. 5 guidance to former Senate pharma corruption investigator Paul Thacker, he said in his newsletter Sunday.
In six steps, the guidance explains how to prescribe "patient-specific orders" for COVID vaccines "off-label," meaning for purposes the Food and Drug Administration hasn't expressly authorized and lists the conditions that trigger the state's strongest recommendation that a given group "should" be vaccinated, one of which is "physical activity."
Vaccine boosters were less friendly to off-label uses during the Biden administration, with his FDA allegedly interfering with doctors' attempts to prescribe ivermectin as a COVID treatment and securing legislative authority to ban off-label uses at will.
"I have never seen any Dept of Health encourage off label prescriptions ever," the physician identified as "Michelle" told Thacker. She's baffled by the physical activity warning: "Your moderate activity that keeps you healthy, keeps your cholesterol down, your blood pressure down, is what they actually say is putting you at risk for severe COVID."
