Looks like those who suffer from Long COVID are being excluded from

That is a shame, because it was getting to be recognised as a problem
before restrictions on movement were lifted; some people found a
second infection easier to recover from than the first infection, but increasingly others were finding the second infection to be much
harder to recover from, and sadly those getting multiple infection
were often nurses or hospital workers who were, despite precautions,
still able to be infected.
Regrettably, the danger of multiple infections was increased by the
sustained campaign to object to anything the government did, not
matter what it was - and that was most obvious around the time of the parliamentary protests; many of the deaths then, and now, can be
attributed in part to the propaganda that asserted that vaccination
was dangerous and that the infection was mild - the reality is that we
are still getting deaths each week - there were over 1000 new cases
reported in the last week, and 13 deaths - see:

So Covid is not far away from as big a problem as deaths from traffic accidents; but currently gets much less funding and attention - the
government needs to be held to account for wrecking peoples lives
through ignoring the problem and pandering to the anti-vaccination
