Yet another reason to get a covid booster every single time a new one is available to you: www.scientificamerican.com/article/vacc...
My second Pfizer shot made me really sick. That was in May of 21, and I’m still just as sick as I was then. So no boosters, very few times anywhere in public, lotta masks. But I’m glad that vaccine and boosters help others.
This is great for people like me who have not had covid yet. But I do wonder how vaccines affect future infections. Most people I know have had covid at least once. Do further vaccinations decrease long covid risk from future infections? I would assume so, but it'd be nice to see research.
Just a technical note: the shots this fall aren’t “boosters,” they are a new formulation. But who cares what people call them as long as they get them? Thanks for promoting basic medicine. .
Interesting. I had my first case well before vaccines. It was only just mentioned as a faraway threat, in Jan 2020. I’ve had all but most recent vaccines, 2 additional cases of covid, and a very long, long covid struggle. I am thankful though, that it never had me hospitalized, as an older adult.
I had 5 vaccines when I got covid and it became long covid. I’m thankful for the vaccinations I had though because people who got LC without vaccinations have it even worse. At least I can still work. But vax alone isn’t enough to stop long covid.
Wait, there's a dose-response relationship? No. wai.
I have had six... Thankfully it doesn't make me feel like I do after 6 tequilas.
Vaccines are good. All the cool people are getting them.
I cannot comprehend anyone declining these vaccines
