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.
In December I got COVID for the 4th time. Yes I’m vaxxed. No I’m not boosted.
Prior to this bout I was working out 30 minutes a day. Since this bout I can barely climb a flight if stairs without getting winded.
It really sucks.
You… do realize that efficacy wears off over time, and after about 6 months or so it doesn’t actually do much?
When I got it covid they told me to not get a booster for six months. Because the infection acts as a booster in a sense.
Who told you that? They just tell you to wait a few weeks after the infection before getting a booster
The VA. I got infected while in one of their hospitals
The Proper advice is six weeks, not six months
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
And which political party is the virus a voting member of?
I also know people who get it over and over again. All they do is go to work and then go home. They see a few people on the weekend but mostly just their grandchildren. I used to blame them for it (not out loud of course) but now I just think they are just more susceptible to covid than most others.
Either way, I hope you fell better soon. Hopefully, after a few months, you can get a booster which may raise your immunity.
Very kind of you. Thank you.
