Yes, there are some studies indicating that vaccines may cause long covid. This of course raises the interesting question about where vaccine reactions end and long covid begins.

Further, the vaccine is associated with lengthened menstrual cycle times in women. Some have conjectured this is due to the Lipid Nano-particles from the vaccine coalescing into the ovaries and to a lesser extent in the testes (as happened in Pfizer mice trial data released earlier this year and was opposite of their public statements about those particles staying in the muscle tissue around the injection site). Combining the two raises the question about if that is a spurious correlation and the actual cause is the spike protein itself.

- throwaway290 4y ago> Yes, there are some studies indicating that vaccines may cause long covid You linked one study to be precise, which is about "rare cases". So going off that into vaccine alarmism and calling this vaccine rollout only better than a rollout that paralysed half a million children (and so I assume worse than a rollout that may have created AIDS?) is a bit disingenuous. > Further, the vaccine is associated with lengthened menstrual cycle times in women. I'm aware... Still not long COVID.
- hajile 4y agoWe have basically three causal options on vaccine reactions assuming you believe the CDC and doctors who admitted patients to the hospital. 1. The vaccine mRNA code is buggy and has side effects beyond the spike protein it creates. 2. The vaccine lipid nano-particles are causing side effects in addition to the spike protein. 3. We don't fully understand the effects of the spike protein and most or all of the vaccine side effects are actually associated with the virus spike. If it's case 1 or 2, then the vaccine is simply bad. If it's case 3, then vaccine side effects are actually analogous to long covid. The third case is the least "alarmist" take of the three. In the third case, the only issue with the article in question is quantity and not counting enough of these side effects in their long covid analysis.
