a poor part of the venezuelan capital carrack has some neighbors, had the bright idea of opening a cinema that a great tight sinner platter. bundle was so successful that it's still running after the lockdown. ah, and we had to uganda to accompany a blind man as he goes about his every day retains. during the pandemic, restrictions on public life, hit disabled people particularly hard at 1st to germany. in the town of my book, a medical team is researching the effects of long cove it including ailments, apparently caused by vaccinations. demand at the clinic is high. my book and alon a small town in the western german state of hassan, in this a dill, is one of german is few treatment centers for people suffering suspected adverse

reactions to covet. 19 inoculation. here at the university clinic, 32 year old vera and 26 year old alexander are looking for help. they've suffered major health problems since their coven inoculations a year ago. experiencing a variety of symptoms that are making life difficult. it's alexander's 1st time in my book. he had to wait 8 months for an appointment. the outpatient clinic for post rack is over run. i've been approved for him. it's my 3rd time here and look at how the readings have changed. it could be down to the medication. what are your main problems? goodish exhaustion has to mean one follow the south will room. when he hasn't been manase neurological problems are still the main thing for me. the pain in my hand and my nerves now and my immunity and my hand is still

misaligned since last winter friend, although of money they have an idea where it comes from the nurse. matthew had 2 of them. you know, they did a biopsy on my nerve tissue and found nerve damage. it stayed rigid like that with her and you were healthy before and tried and gone. i definitely didn't have that beforehand. no nerve pain either john's wish had them both. and after the inoculation, i clearly had something. at 5 days later i had the vision problems, and dizziness and headaches. i went to the obsession and was told i had blockages behind both pupils, appearance that pre cursor to thrombosis. and that was then traced back was the, you know, completion mark shots as almonza, the atlas, seattle soccer field of tuneful aba. it's in the months after half in moore. it's notes well, months ago as resume. i got more and more varying symptoms, vandalism,

to mocking like dizziness and heart palpitations when standing out of my mouth. all from now the smith also nerve pain and pins and needles. nobody believe me then i was dismissed as mentally oldish. i was in your fill that am out of whack. i was always told it's nothing measurable, but they did do a biopsy of my nerve tissue. and i hope that with all cases it's taken seriously and not put down to being just in the mind that when someone comes in with numbness, the doctors do a biopsy of single matter. oh, the cause of post back syndrome is not yet known. patients develop varying symptoms . a wide range of factors could play a role such as undetected illness or infection at the time of inoculation. ready the many factors make treatment difficult. according to ban schieffer, a cardiologist and head of the post vaccination,

outpatient clinic. they mustn't hang cooking, you have to look closely. and that's what takes so much time does this though, and it also makes it so hard for us to do our jobs here and then convey the findings. we come meet him clearly. i can't simply tell doctor so and so who's just phoned me, give me your instructions and we'll do it just like that can also me. i listen nancy angle every one is more than welcome to observe our work here and humans are to come and look at our lab method. the lab ones on this during the forensic search for causes and appropriate therapy. the employees at the center for unrecognised and seldom illnesses are in demand. here, blood samples of those afflicted are broken down into individual parts and analyzed via for moving on to through and since we believe that inflammatory processes can be triggered in some patients through

a covert infection. colby or an inoculation. who it impact on without which my that is we don't yet know. we got food and come, but that's what we're in the process of researching. this will be at least a good us go for support. we're calling us. we're here for both of it's improving here. here to you see here that it's dropping in many patients is with lucian. wolfing. i wouldn't just blame it all on the inoculations, either lease or canadian for that or surely also genetic factors that play an individual role. how every one has loans, or hundreds of thousands of genetic variations in their genome. so we got those for those or perhaps triggered more than one person than and another on the. so i'll talk on this. not so easy to analyze. that ad hoc guardian is huge, thought hopeful, of visual food with these are scientific questions and you know what can take a while to answer the conquer, you can't cure or understand an illness just like that in one or 2 weeks. it can take years, some people work their whole life to identify the way an illness works. with young

2 years after inoculations began, there is still a lack of clinical studies on the cause and treatment of side effects. on the staff about usa, he's a clinician, we also in clinical algorithms me so that patients no longer remain in diag stick. limbo and unforeseen nirvana for blyth is on a dusty and we need treatment center entry where they know what to do. their us visit to my book has at least brought her hardy a logical problems under control. but her medical odyssey continues both neurologically and immune to logically after filming. she was diagnosed with damage to her immune system, which requires further treatment. vera and alexander,

who must her see if his new medication helps him decide to remain in contact. they intend to compare notes and support each other. i don't know. so when did you with over 15 percent of the world's population live with a disability and majority of them in poor countries where health care is lacking? these people were hit particularly hard by the lock downs, with even the simplest aspects of daily life. posing big problems dw reported julius morgan. bla, met up with a blind man in uganda's capital. come parlor only. hi god, to misty me, is passionate about music. and also about

law. he wanted to study to become a lawyer. but then coven, 19. it was due for an admissions test. when the university moved the applications online, which left the blind man in the dark. find out if you are in the right place for establish the working rules was everything was done online and for us really green about online. i missed 3 entries for my care as the hadn't applied. and i couldn't come because by the time we're supposed to come, they closed at trance, butch and screws were closed, as well. say couldn't be successful in law. god to mas, see me, is no studying to become a teacher. but he hasn't yet fully adapted to

e learning. i had to look for someone to, to help me upload may examinations and sometimes issues could happen and it may exams couldn't launch. applewood. trinity, low ed may perform miss if i'm to compare my performance scenario on and he had to, he had to ease better because he had to, we had no such issues. we're doing exams physically at his university signs with measures to prevent the spread of covered 19 could be seen across the campus to the see me felt left out it became an uncomfortable experience. i wasn't able to i didn't find those areas. yeah. or to ease to wash my hands on unless i had maybe someone say come and bless your hand,

said twin i could g r lays. but in most cases, after entering compass anguish, main gate, lake after 3 weeks. because you choose a guide for yourself and the full in those 3 weeks me forgetting again even navigation, the mobility wasn't or that it could get lost to in different places in the community to the see me faces related challenges like accessing public transportation. he says that this worsened during the pandemic. when the government shut it down, there were no exceptions made even for people with disabilities who rely on support from others. we were restricted, even when you're with your guide, you're moving their neighbor,

debra. then they want you to be on separate for their burned as bats at the end of it. oh, you get yourself lost, lose border borders, gun those motorbike taxis, where his lifeline during the pandemic which left him more isolated than usual. but our community members, many people are not and as soon as they don't normally officially reversed, so it's very hard. and our community about 3 percent of uganda's $47000000.00 population are said to be visually impaired. they are part of a white or global population of a 1000000000 people living with some form of disability research shows that during crises, the disabled often suffer most already. when you have a disability, you have been of dealing with all the things you may not be able to do

it. some of them are mobility, some of them i, you know, with the education and so with additional restrictions of not being able to move, not being able to access atlas the little services you would have been able to access . ah, was an added burden. you know, statistics show that amongst the poor people are people with disabilities at the poorest. so if i know more regular uganda and leaves on a dollar a day, then a person with this, their disability is even worse. after the pandemic exacerbated the plight of many god to mas see me, hopes people will learn from it. he hopes for a more inclusive society, where people like him are no longer overlooked by their communities. m electrical engineer yet committee at which moved to kenya's capital to find work

of his 3 children. his eldest son accompanied him, but then you can which he caught kind of at 19. today we're in nairobi as part of our, my cousin series in silicon has got to another file. i was hearing that lots of people were dying from cove it on up as a sun when, or even rich people soil upon the potter. i was when i got it, i was prepared because i thought, who am i to survive if even presidents were dying oklahoma and they have people who have everything they need, they have everything to protect themselves. my names are jacquita church. ah, i'm electrical engineer in kenya. i had their covenant in mythical booker. i remember, it was in 2021 of the, and it was a wednesday order. with them i was working and, and everything was fine until the evening. nick

a finer kaiser disorder. that's when i started to feel as if i had the flu. some i had difficulty breathing, difficulty breathing to pull move. so i went to a private clinic, one to get tested it for 5th. and then from when i told them my symptoms, if i the 1st decided to do a covered test, covered nothing, i mean when and when the results came in, i was positive with it is really quite, i was shocked. look one, i could young, generic then my eldest son was living with me and because he was studying in nairobi, the i end up, i noticed a couple so he also had to get tested and he was when, unfortunately his was negative. so i considered checking into a quarantine hotel that my son would be left alone at home. it was so challenging, but in the end i stayed at home and we were our masks every day. but i wasn't able to sleep at night. i used to stay awake and because i was afraid that if i fell asleep, i feel i would die alive. thought i would grow funny. after 2 weeks when 3,

i went back for another test and luckily i was negative. anyone negative? susan potter. since having covered one, i've been dealing with health problems that i didn't have before. after now was r bubble, for example. no, i have problems with digestion. that is the problem. no, that wasn't the case before covered. resume mir. grandma abdulla who boys in quick work has not been good. i have 2 boys in college, and my daughter is still in high school. it's been very challenging to earn enough money, and that's hit me very hard. somebody needs to return after recovering until i was vaccinated. for the 1st time, i also got a 2nd dose as well as the last one. the booster shot. and the government measures have helped reduce cases. if you compare when people were not wearing masks to know when people are, you see the infection rate has gone down drastically or by mouth. you may remember was 80 ah

cash. do you have a question about covered as science editor derek williams, tackles them based on the latest research and analysis. right to him at co producer i d. w dot com this week? he answers a question from susan. oh, what does research currently say about repeated cat 19 infections? oh, remember back in the early days of the pandemic when having and getting over about with coven 19, at least was thought to have a big upside, which was that survivors for the most part, at least felt protected afterwards. kind of like the way i remember feeling after getting my 2nd dose of vaccine and, and then my 3rd dose of vaccine. but now that we're all swimming in what's being

called variant soup. that idea no longer really holds water. i personally know many people, including a couple in my own family who have had the disease twice now and a few who tested positive for it 3 times. um, that shouldn't actually come as a huge surprise. i mean, after all, the for corona viruses that generally cause cold like symptoms are able to infect us multiple times throughout our lives. so re infections are certainly possible, but how often will they happen in the future? will coven 19 become season? oh, like flu? that seems likely, though, we don't know how long exactly that process will take. a health authorities do mostly agree that otherwise healthy people who recover from coven 19 are generally at low risk of getting it again for at least

a few months. but each person is going to have a different immunological history with a disease. so it's impossible to really predict your individual risk. and if immune evasion turns out to happen in different ways with different sub variance, experts say you can't really rule allow possibly getting infected by them even in fairly short order. i'm a chron at sub variance though, have really kind of thrown a monkey ranch into what we thought we knew, because they're super infectious and several looked like they're better at evading immunity. then earlier versions of the virus and, and our micron also continues to mutate at a, at a pretty fast pace. that ability, the experts say could easily cause numbers to, to spike pretty hard and fast. and the coming winter in the northern hemisphere,

when it comes to disease severity upon re infection. however, the news is more positive. most studies i read, show that when re infection does happen, the course of the disease in general seems to be milder. m. residence of a some in the venezuelan capital carrot has found a new way to stay in contact despite pandemic restrictions. but they came up with the idea of starting and rush top cinema. the project turned out to be so popular, but it's still going strong with dish . the red rick shanty hose rice deeply on the hills of pottery in the east of caracas. home to jimmy perez, katara is one of the largest slums in the world. the flat roof tops here,
