The intense scientific effort that long COVID sparked has resulted in more than 24,000 scientific publications, making it the most researched health condition in any four years of recorded human history.

Long COVID is a term that describes the constellation of long-term health effects caused by infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. These range from persistent respiratory symptoms, such as shortness of breath, to debilitating fatigue or brain fog that limits people’s ability to work, and conditions such as heart failure and diabetes, which are known to last a lifetime.

    I’m well aware, I’m also not convinced about the efficacy of the vaccine.

    First COVID Feb 2020. Vaxxed May 2020 Second COVID July 2020

    The right told me herd immunity would protect me. They were wrong. The left told me the vax world protect me. They too were wrong.

      You should listen to doctors, not the “right” or “left.” It’s clear from your comment you are not taking a doctor’s advice.

      Every time you expose yourself to the virus is another roll of the dice.

      Efficacy is just an average of everyone’s experience. Some people use a mask every time they go out, and infrequently leave their home. Other’s are regularly exposed to the virus by choice, or by necessity.

      The left never told you the vaccine would be an impenetrable wall. Especially infection is kinda hard to prevent. The vaccines drastically reduce hospitalization and death though.

      Good thing doctors aren’t politicians? Ideologies cure fuck all
