[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still don't understand why people are so weird about the covid shots. If my doc recommends I get another booster, I'll get the booster - just like I do the flu shot every year. Really not a big deal.[/quote] So you're one of the lucky ones who experience no side effects from the covid shots? Lucky you. It is a big deal, for those of us that get knocked out for 1-2 full days each time we get one of the shots. And no, it's not "better than covid" because I've never had covid, ever. [/quote] This is dumb. I also have a strong reaction to the shots, and I still get them, [b]because they're not actually bad for my health, whereas Covid is[/b]. [/quote] [b]Covid is not bad for the health of anyone in decent health.[/b] You do you, but most people recover just fine if/when they have covid. [/quote] This quite literally isn't true. My 13 year old nephew got Covid and now has long Covid. It has kept him out of school for weeks at a time, prevented him from playing with friends, and generally derailed his life. He had no comorbidities or chronic conditions prior to his illness. He is not malingering. No 13 year old boy wants to be in bed all the time. [/quote] PP, so sorry about your nephew. Was he vaccinated when he got COVID? I wish we had more data on this point. [/quote] He was not. He got sick in spring of 2020, in the first wave. [/quote] Ugh. That's heartbreaking. Is he local? I hope he is getting good treatment. [/quote] Different family member of long COVID patient here. There is a long COVID clinic at GW and MedStar has built out their PT program for it as well (all of my loved one's appts say "long COVID rehab" on them, for the deniers out there). But the reality is that the fatigue and the vascular regulation problems are very persistent, and there's no specific treatment for them, even when the treatment is "good." If you live with or near this, it is much harder to tolerate the "COVID is over" crap--as hard as it is for people with post-polio to tolerate "polio is over," only maybe worse because we've had less practice. [/quote] There is also long vax with symptoms similar to long covid. Germany has outpatient centers for long vax and it is discussed in German state media. There has been much less discussion of it here, although that it is slowly beginning to change. https://www.science.org/content/article/rare-link-between-coronavirus-vaccines-and-long-covid-illness-starts-gain-acceptance[/quote]
