Long Covid More Likely After Two Doses of a COVID-19 Vaccine

by Richard Eldred
28 December 2023 3:00 PM

Receiving two COVID-19 vaccine doses may heighten the risk of Long Covid, according to new research. The Epoch Times has the story.

In the study published in PLOS One, researchers examined data from 487 and 371 individuals at four weeks and six months post-SARS-CoV-2 infection, respectively, to estimate the incidence, characteristics and predictors of Long Covid among patients. Long Covid symptoms were reported by 29.2% of participants four weeks following infection. This number dropped to 9.4% at six months, indicating symptoms may diminish over time.

Researchers found that the greater the severity of infection a patient had, the more likely they were to experience Long Covid. The incidence of Long Covid at four weeks of follow-up in those who experienced mild/moderate disease was 23.4% compared with 62.5% in those with severe cases.

At six months, the incidence of Long Covid was considerably lower. For those with mild/moderate infection, only 7.2% reported symptoms compared with 23.1% in those with severe/critical cases. The most commonly reported symptom was fatigue. Other symptoms included cough, cognitive dysfunction or brain fog and loss of taste and smell.

During the four-week follow-up, patients were more likely to experience Long Covid if they had pre-existing medical conditions, a higher number of symptoms during the acute phase of COVID-19 illness, if their infection was more severe or resulted in hospitalisation, or if they had received two COVID-19 vaccine doses.

Although previous vaccination was associated with Long Covid, the authors could not find “any interaction effect of COVID-19 vaccination and acute COVID-19 severity on causing Long Covid.”

This implies that prior vaccination “was independently associated with the occurrence of Long Covid”, cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough explained in a recent Substack post.

Worth reading in full.

It’s never been that clear to me what “covid” is – a ragbag of symptoms that evolved over time, much like many other vague illnesses, and a “test” that was suspiciously rushed out, forced on people and used for political purposes with little consistency of criteria. So I am equally unclear what “Long Covid” is – how do you tell if you “have” “it”? I guess if you have a “viral illness” sometimes you don’t fully recover immediately but the effects can drag on for some time – I believe that’s a known phenomenon – let’s call it “Long Flu”. Does “Long Covid” differ from “Long Flu” in its effects? How “long” is “long”? How prevalent is “Long Flu”? Is “Long Covid” more or less prevalent or debilitating than “Long Flu”? I can quite believe that these “vaccines” make people less healthy, but without answers to some or all of my questions, I can’t attach any significance to talk of “Long Covid”.

Post viral fatigue, Yuppie Flu, etc. were some of the names for it.

Indeed – they may well be a “thing” but if “long covid” hasn’t really added to the prevalence, length or severity of “post viral fatigue” in the same way that “covid” wasn’t much more than a bad flu season, why do we care about “long covid” or even give this particular form of “post viral fatigue” a special name?

Well I test positive for ‘Long Over Covid’ because I’m well and truly long over it, I tell you.🥱 In fact, I’m trying to envisage a time in the near future when the dratted C word will no longer be a part of every day parlance, as far as the stupid press go anyway. Nobody I know even mentions the word anymore, to be honest.
I also want to fast-forward to a time when the word “lockdown” is once again only ever mentioned in the context of prisons.😶

Lol.

Until recently it was rarely mentioned in my presence, but as I stated elsewhere Christmas seems to have caused a Pavlovian bout of covidians testing themselves.

Long Covid is more likely an excuse for staying at home having hand outs from the government. The very same people who loved being locked up in their houses while on furlough

Ah, Long Covid.
Mainly suffered by Guardian readers.
Stop reading the thing and, voila, you will become healed.

IMHO, one of the key questions should be whether or not said apparent sufferers read the Guardian or not.

Mass psychosis at its finest.

You can get a dose of it way higher than normal exposure through shedding. I never took the vax obviously but I have had persistent illness ever since 2021. Might be other environmental factors but I developed huge overnight sores in my mouth so extreme that two of my erstwhile health teeth fell out. And the attack on my mouth was immensely painful like a huge gaping wound. Similar sort of tissue in the upper palate as the heart and Mr Spike has a predilection for it. I can forgive the vaxxed for this. The masses never know what they do. The overlords are a different matter entirely of course.

It sounds odd but some of the more damaging effects of this pathogen can be stopped by tricyclic antidepressants. Just google it if you are interested. I used that method with remarkable success. 30 mg of dothiepin stopped the attack and the pain and the further assault. This strange interaction has been noted and studied if you look it up.
