It’s a really small survey so far but roughly 2/3 of covid long haulers saw improvement after vaccination. 1/3 didn’t. I’m curious what actual, rigorous, studies will show later of course.
- bpodgursky 6y agoThat study raised some... questions... because many of the self-proclaimed "long haulers" had never tested positive for COVID. Which is of course possible, but it also raises the specter that "long-haul COVID" is really a mask for (understandable) psychological stress and depression which not-coincidentally coincided with pandemic and lockdowns.
- nostrebored 6y agoYou won't see much clash on this comment because the evidence for long covid is poor. Incidence rates mirror hypochondria rates and symptoms are explainable by things like vitamin D deficiency and depression.
- ianlevesque 6y agoAt any rate the CDC mentions they have multiple multi-year studies underway so we won’t have to guess. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/long-term-effects.html https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/long-term-effects....
- fsiefken 6y agoThis study shows long-COVID-19 is real. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2776560 https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle... What evidence do you have these are caused by vitamin-D deficiency? What are the incidence rates and how is it the cause?
- jokethrowaway 6y agoThe most commonly reported symptom was fatigue. Chronic fatigue syndrome is treated primarily with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. It's absolutely compatible with mental illness, especially considering that our governments just locked up everyone for more than a year.
