In this YouTube short, Dr. Aaron Hartman warns about a “second wave” of COVID‑19 that manifests years after the initial infection. He explains that individuals who were asymptomatic or experienced mild, lingering symptoms (brain fog, fatigue, joint pain, hormonal issues, etc.) may develop serious neurological or cardiac problems 8–10 years later, drawing parallels to historical post‑influenza sequelae such as Parkinsonism after the Russian flu and bipolar‑like disorders after the Spanish flu. To prevent this, Dr. Hartman advocates aggressive early treatment with immune regulators, targeted nutrition, gut‑focused therapies, and trigger removal. He also highlights systemic medical gaslighting—especially of women—calling for greater patient education, community sharing of effective remedies, and broader awareness of these blind spots in healthcare.

COVID, long COVID. These are 2 great examples of a blind spot in our healthcare system that we've all lived through and we're still living through today. But what people aren't talking about is the second wave COVID. What am I talking about here? Second wave COVID is people who got COVID and either had no symptoms of it and then developed long COVID symptoms afterwards, or they got low-level long COVID, brain fog, fatigue, muscle aches and pains, joint swelling, Poor sleep, hormonal issues, whatever the hundreds of plus symptoms. And they don't realize in 8 to 10 years they might be developing significant neurological issues. So how do we know about this long COVID thing? Or I guess the second wave of long COVID. We saw it with the Russian flu in late 1800s. We saw it with Spanish flu. We saw it with Hong Kong flu. We saw it with bird flu. We've actually seen it multiple times when large epidemic-like things happen that are virally initiated. People whose immune systems are dysregulated can actually develop neurological or cardiac symptoms or issues 8 to 10 years later. After a flu, we saw a lot of Parkinson's. In the 1919 to 1921, we saw a lot of these bipolar-like things from viral illness. After the Russian flu, we saw a lot of Parkinsonian-like neurological issues. The question is, what is the second wave going to look like with COVID The answer is I do not want to see it, which is the reason why I treat all my COVID patients and long COVID patients super aggressively with immune Regulators, nutritionals, gut therapies. I find their triggers, I remove them. This is a massive blind spot in our current healthcare system. Many people have been gaslit. And unfortunately, the people who interact with the healthcare system the most, women, either as moms, spouses, entrepreneurs, whatnot, they're getting gaslit on this extremely. And so, what we need to do is get educated. We've done a lot of blogs on this. We've actually done a lot of podcasts on this as well. If you or a loved one actually have done something that actually has helped your COVID, your COVID symptoms, I'd love to hear about it. If you're someone who actually has been gaslit by the system, please share your story below. I think people just don't realize how good our system is at overlooking people, whether it's putting the guy who developed handwashing into jail, the first guy who had the first cancer therapy actually in the 1950s losing his career. We do this all the time in the healthcare system. This is something that's going on right now. So, I'd love to hear your story. Share below. If this information on our blind spots, medical gaslighting, becoming a medical feminist series has been helpful, you've liked it, please share it. I've actually enjoyed doing this for the last couple months. And I would like to just get this information out to as many people as possible. So, please share. And I'd love to hear from you.
