LONG COVID PATIENTS SAY THEY FEEL BETTER AFTER GETTING VACCINATED

DanielDaniel Griffin wasn’t sure what to expect when his patients with chronic COVID-19 symptoms started getting vaccinated. There was some concern that the shots might make things worse by triggering the immune system. Luckily, the opposite seemed to be true.

“I started getting texts and calls from some of my colleagues saying hey, are your patients with long COVID reporting that they’re feeling better after the vaccine?” says Griffin, an infectious diseases clinician and researcher at Columbia University. When he started talking with patients, he saw that they were. “It’s not 100 percent, but it does seem like to be around a third,” he says.

Early reports from Griffin and others hint that people with persistent symptoms may improve after getting vaccinated. Information is still limited, and the data is largely anecdotal — but if the pattern holds, it could help researchers understand more about why symptoms of COVID-19 persist in some people, and offer a path to relief.

Why would the vaccine work better than some actual treatment that could have been given to them months ago?

Well I'm kind of long. Not bragging or anything.

Still not going to take the mRNA. Will wait for J&J availability.

A third could also be just about the right ratio for the placebo effect.

J&J uses aborted human tissue for vaccine development.

I’m guessing this story falls under number four.

Five ways they’re trying to trick you into taking the Covid “vaccine”

1. BRIBERY
It’s being reported that everyone getting vaccinated is the only way to get “back to normal”.

2. CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENTS
One of the oldest and most widely used marketing gimmicks. Partly because it works, but mostly because it’s cheap and easy: Simply find a bunch of tools and put them to work.

3. FORCED “SCARCITY”
For weeks now we’ve been seeing headlines about “dwindling stock” of vaccines. How people in Europe are desperate for doses or some states are being prioritised over others. It goes on and on and on.

4. FAKE “POPULARITY”
You can’t underestimate the idea of peer pressure when it comes to marketing, one of the oldest tricks in the book is culturing popularity through the idea that popularity already exists. It’s why people buy likes and views on youtube and concerts have seat fillers.

5. “RESISTANCE IS USELESS”
This is an interesting one. There’s been a lot of talk about Vaccine Passports recently, and perhaps they will become a thing, but the vast majority of the public discourse is spreading the idea they are “inevitable”.

Forgot one.

Shame;

Some university or organization even wrote a paper with thoughts on how to shame people into getting the shot.

Shame is already being used for the masks. The shaming comes from the msm and Karen.

so what is “long COVID”?

People that have had it a long time?

Did someone named Long patent a new strain?

Pretty obscene how they are tricking and coercing people into taking part in a mass medical experiment.

There used to be something called the Nuremberg Code but I guess that’s no longer a thing.

Ithe article says that means people who have chronic long-term symptoms of COVID. I know someone who had the bug early 2020 and still has no sense of taste. Others have long-lasting joint swelling and pain.

People have lingering tiredness, shortness of breath and brain fog. Ivermectin cures this too.

“Others have long-lasting joint swelling and pain.”Have they been tested for Lyme Disease?

I wonder if they are (still) obese.
