a poor part of the venezuelan capital, kirk has some neighbors, had the bright idea of opening a cinema at a great tight center plaza bunda 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 has research in the effects of long covert including ailments, apparently caused by vaccinations. demand at the clinic is high marble and alon a small town in the western german state of hassan. in this, the dill is one of germany's few treatment center is 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 my 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 lean on from south room when he hasn't manase neurological problems are still the main thing for me. the pain in my hand and my nerves now and my immunity in my hand is still

misaligned. since last winter friend, although of money, they have an idea where it comes from. the nurse. matthew had one of you. 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 yards, which had been beth. 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 optician and was told i had blockages behind both pupils, hyperion's with pre cursor to thrombosis. and that was then traced back was the, you know, completion markups as almonza, douglas, seattle, soccer field of doom full aba. it's in the months after half in moore. it's no 12 months ago when i got more and more varying symptoms, vandalism,

to modern 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've been refer to set him up to practice . 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 up seeing a 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. oh, the many factors make treatment difficult. according to ban chiva, a cardiologist and head of the post vaccination, outpatient clinic. they mustn't hancock him. you have to look closely and that's

what takes so much time does it 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 dr. so and so who's just phone me, give me your instructions and we'll do a just like that can also me allison, healthy and 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 his during the forensic search for causes and appropriate therapy. the employees at the center for unrecognized and seldom illnesses are in demand. here, blood samples of those afflicted are broken down into individual parts and analyzed . novia for movement, pursue, and 20. we believe that inflammatory processes can be triggered in some patients through a cove. it infection, we or an inoculation,

who it would all to which my that is, we don't yet know. we got food and come back. that's what we're in the process of researching. this will be a list of who does 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 inoculation, feverish or canadian for there are surely also genetic factors that play an individual role. how every one has those tens or hundreds of thousands of genetic variations in their genomes. and we got those for and those are perhaps triggered more in one person than another on a. so i'll talk on this. not so easy to analyze that ad hoc guardian who's thought helpful does in vitro feed with these are scientific questions and you know what can take a while to answer the concord? if 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 autism. he's a clinician, we also in clinical algorithms me so that patients no longer remain in diag stick. limbo in on. so size nirvana for blyth is on a dusty and we need treatment center entry where they know what to do. their us visit to mom book has at least brought her cardio logical problems under control. but her medical odyssey continues both neurologically and immune illogically. after filming, she was diagnosed with damage to her immune system, which requires further treatment. vera and alexander,

who must 1st 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 many different lashana ah, 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 locked downs, with even the simplest aspects of daily life. posing fact problems with d w records actually asthma gamboa met up with a blind man in uganda's capital. come parlor. ah hi, god too must see me. is passionate about music. and

also about law. he wanted to study to become a lawyer, but then colbert 19. it was 2 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 i hadn't applied. and i couldn't come because by that time were supposed to come, they closed at transports. and scores were closed, as well. say couldn't be successful in low guard 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 good happen and it may exams couldn't launch. applewood, chile, 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 here or to ease to wash my hands on unless i had maybe someone say come and gresh. johan said twin,

i could g r lays. but in most cases, after entering compass anguish may gain lake after 3 weeks because you choose a gate for yourself and the full in those 3 weeks before getting a gate 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 neighborhood and they want you to be and separate,

but i burned as bats at the end of it. oh, you get yourself lost lose border borders. gun does motorbike taxis where his lifeline during the pandemic which left him more isolated than usual. but our community members, many people are not as good as they don't know. my live for shala's events. so it's very hard. and that one minute 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 education. and so with additional restrictions of not being able to move, not being able to access atlas daily to services, you would have been able to access, ah, was an added. but in no 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 dead disability is even worse. after the pandemic exacerbated the plight of many god to massy me, hopes people will learn from it. 6 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 yeah, can we take what kind of 19 to day we're in nairobi as part of our, my cousin series. in the look on this guy i want to end up with i was hearing that lots of people were dying from cove. it went up as a sung when or even rich people, so eloquently, pata i was when i got it, i was prepared because i thought, who am i to survive if even presidents were dying of oklahoma and they are people who have everything they need. now everything to protect themselves. my names are jacquita church. ah, electrical engineer in kenya. i had their covenant in musical 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 as it is already. that's when i started to feel as if i had the flu. some i had difficulty breathing, difficulty in breathing to pull me. so i went to a private clinic, one to get tested private cortez. and then from when i told them my symptoms, if i the 1st decided to do a corporate test of it, that venmal point. and when the results came in, i was positive up with it is nearly quite. i was shocked. look, one, i could young generic and my eldest son was living with me and because he was studying in nairobi. b, i end up, i knew it. if i kept so he also had to get tested and he was when, unfortunately his was negative. so i considered checking into a quarantine hotel, but my son would be left alone at home. it was so challenging one 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 will die alive. but i will go for after 2 weeks went through,

i went back for another test, and luckily i was negative anywhere near susan the particle since having covered one. i've been dealing with health problems that i didn't have before. up to now was or 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 need to go back to method after recovering and though i was vaccinated for the 1st time. i also got a 2nd dose as well as the last one. the booster shot amazon, 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 a mask. you may remember was aid. ah,

wish you had a question about covered as science editor derek williams, tackles them based on the latest research and analysis writer, him at covey producer at d, w dot com this week. he answers the 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. i'm not sure 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. on the chron at sub there, in st though, have really kind of thrown a monkey wrench into what we thought we knew, because they're super infectious and several look like they're better at evading immunity. then earlier versions of the virus and, and on 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've read, show that when reinfection 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 at winch top cinema. with the project turned out to be so popular, but it's still going strong with the red brick shanty hose rice deeply on the hills of pottery in the east of caracas. home to jimmy perez, pottery is one of the largest slums in the world. the flat roof tops here. i called

how to take action, where public services fail. jo, are speedo. ok. i asked pride see violence, reduce your empathetic. you only come on is the only way home on those old. if they're add him, people like those are who take care of the portland topics both and necessary topics, and then we will be in upper tattered without home and without future dante nor to your my finance, and i'm not yet i'm awful doodle oh, dropping our month into nickel, we aspire to, half a more humane community with a barrel to gauge, shown with a barrier between your audio help on what people feel used old in on the line in ear. and we are sure when darky, we thou government here without being the power of a structure that we have demonstrated great achievement, a significant import than a shift them for the people normally for the community, for children, for kate, take care school and for parents senior i don't represent a bottle of bodies, the sinner, platter band, a team,
