Study shows 43% to 58% lower prevalence of long COVID among vaccinated people

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

 

A new study based on 4,605 participants in the Michigan COVID-19 Recovery Surveillance Study shows that the prevalence of long COVID symptoms at 30 and 90 days post-infection was 43% to 58% lower among adults who were fully vaccinated before infection.

...

The 30- and 90-day timeframes were meant to compare two different definitions of long COVID. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines the condition as new or persistent symptoms 4 weeks after infection, while the World Health Organization definition defines it as 12 or more weeks after infection.

...

Overall, 32.2% of adults with PCR-confirmed COVID-19 reported 30-day long COVID and 17.5% reported 90-day long COVID in the study. The prevalence of 30-day long COVID was 43% lower among the vaccinated group... The adjusted prevalence of 90-day long COVID was 58% lower among the vaccinated group.

There are a lot of anti-vaccinators that claim that some of the vaccines cause blot clotting which can cause strokes or heart attacks but I think the benefits outweigh the negatives....

AFAIK, the only place where vaccine-related serious blood clotting was a very RARE problem was with the AZ vaccine (and with the similar, little used J&J vaccine in the U.S.) ... and generally not with the mRNA vaccines.

 

That's part of the reason why the AZ vaccine was never approved in the U.S., and ultimately ceased to be used in places like the U.K. -- while use of the mRNA vaccines continued apace.

 

There is no evidence that mRNA vaccines are linked to blood clots

"the mRNA vaccines have not been associated with any kind of clotting problem."

 

"in fact, evidence suggests COVID-19 vaccination prevents blood clots by protecting against COVID-19, which raises the risk of clotting."
