Why do some people think that long-COVID is really just long-vax?
[link removed] Is it sad or ironic that these folks are trying to blame long-COVID on COVID vaccines, considering that long-COVID is less common in those who are vaccinated and protected?
The usual suspects...
Is Long-COVID Really Just Long-Vax?
Not surprisingly, this has been debunked before:
* No evidence that persistent symptoms are more frequent after COVID-19 vaccination than after infection, contrary to an op-ed in The Hill ( [link removed] )
* Long Covid is not really just Covid-19 vaccination side effects ( [link removed] )
* Yale Preprint Recorded Patient Experiences, Did Not Demonstrate Vaccines Cause New Syndrome ( [link removed] )
Is there any new evidence that long-COVID is really just long-vax?
Nope!
Just more anti-vaccine propaganda.
This time in the form of an op-ed that was published in The Hill.
> "Millions of Americans are still suffering months or even years after they were infected with COVID. Long COVID as it’s commonly known is a serious and poorly understood problem. But there is also growing evidence that the COVID vaccine could cause a similar disease."
>
> Is it long COVID or long vax? Does the government want to know?
What was the growing evidence?
[link removed] An op-ed is not evidence for long-vax...
Anecdotes about the patients Pierre Kory ( [link removed] ) and Paul Marik ( [link removed] ) have treated...
And a pre-print survey ( [link removed] ) .
> "The authors based the 70% figure on data from a private practitioner who is also a member of the fringe medical group FLCCC Alliance. The op-ed didn’t include any explanation about the methodology used to calculate the 70% figure. This is important, as it provides the necessary information to assess the validity of the results. In addition, other issues make the 70% figure unreliable."

Neither are evidence ( [link removed] ) that COVID vaccines cause long-COVID though.
It's Long-COVID...
In fact, studies suggest that COVID vaccines can protect and keep you from developing long-COVID!
[link removed] If you are seeing the term "long-vax," it is not because it is getting any kind of real media attention, but it is instead because the same few stories are getting laundered across a network of anti-vaccine websites ( [link removed] ) .
So in pushing misinformation ( [link removed] ) about long-vax, folks like Pierre Kory ( [link removed] ) and Paul Marik ( [link removed] ) (esteemed in anti-vaccine circles) just might lead to more cases of long-COVID if they scare ( [link removed] ) people away from getting vaccinated and protected.
What About COVID Vaccines Causing MIS-C?
Similarly, studies show that COVID vaccines are protective against MIS-C ( [link removed] ) !
> "Despite the reports of postvaccination MIS-C, vaccination clearly lowers the overall MIS-C burden, probably by preventing infection. These studies also suggest low likelihood of vaccination triggering development of MIS-C."
>
> Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children after SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination
Despite a few case reports of children developing MIS-C after being vaccinated, most studies ( [link removed] ) show that those with MIS-C were not vaccinated ( [link removed] ) .
So again, the benefits of getting vaccinated and protected outweigh the small risks of our COVID vaccines.
