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.

What’s a “long covid patient”? It that someone over 6 feet tall?

Anecdotal evidence is always rejected, unless it favors big pharma.

I laugh at the statement “long covid patients.” If you look around you, we are all long covid patients. We are forced into protection from the illness that ultimately forces us to make choices not in our best interest causing harm physically, mentally, financially, and morally. Isn’t that curbing our lives?

And with the death rate of the illness total at 2.58 million for 116.07 million cases, that is right at 3% of the infected not including the uninfected.

So what is a long term patient? Aren’t we all? And for most, isn’t quarantine at home the same as in a hospital? And the 3% of those that actually get sick know who they are before they are sick since a vast majority is related to age and pre-existing conditions and the younger ones mostly pre-existing conditions. For them it’s more than a mask. But for others, it should be less than hiding in a barricaded cave with more fear of retaliation of and from the government than in the virus itself.

“What was astonishing to me was the PATTERN or frequency of ills and problems was very similar for both the vaccine and placebo.”

You should ask yourself what is in the placebos...

You might be very surprised

It Is Not a Friggin vaccine liars

At best, it is a therapeutic designed to lessen the symptoms

Government is the disease

You are the cure

99.997% of the time

Which makes you more effective than Moderna

No, what’s disgraceful is that you are participating in the lie that there are not very effective treatments for cv19 and other viral infections, and that you are a party to the elimination of human beings in furtherance of at best, a profitable but unnecessary vaccine, and at worst, the Bill Gates population control agenda.

You are making the EXACT arguments that Gates and social media makes that open discussion of cv19 treatment is harmful.

You’re obviously cunning enough to be well aware of what you are doing.

“Real science involves skeptical questioning”

The pro-vax Khmer Rouge comventional doctors will scream about the science, then pretend that a legitimate placebo for a new vax test is another vaccine, or all the crap adjuvants they put in traditional vax, all while telling us that it is “not ethical” to not offer some kind of vaccine as a placebo.

These same Khmer doctors are building a mountain of skulls by their refusal to treat cv19 with protocols like MATH+, and then point to the mountain of skulls in defense of the Pharma fear agenda.

It is amazing that you are such a flat earthed that you continue to advocate for a static and unrealistic theory. As I have previously said I will make you a deal. When you stop lying about me I will stop telling the truth about you.

My understanding is that the conventional antivirals (there are ten or more sub-categories) have little to no effect on coronavirus (but this was already known from the cold-type cv).

Definitely not 100% immune but it is always a little unsettling when any vaccine fails to provoke even a minor reaction. (”Did it take?”)

I was referring to the specific antiviral used for Covid 19. Sorry I did not use the name of the medication.

It is available in some places now. A relative got it Wednesday at a community shot clinic.

No. Being obese is one’s own fault though.

I guess you really are pretty unqualified to understand this. I don’t lost to you because you are not interested in learning persuasion or discussion. All you are able to do is engage in the four year old argument that whoever does not agree with you is either killing people or does not understand your brilliance. You are incapable of any any rational discussion and evolution in thought which is why I call you a flat earther. You decide to weigh in on comments not directed to you nor thst you have any particular ability to understand. It’s ok. Freedom means being free to be wrong. Which you are quite often.

You remain both banal and the ennui in dealing with you is becoming remarkable.

Once you evolve past the level of an intellectual toddler perhaps you should then try again to join the adult conversation here. Until then I wish you the best.

Trying to make is about me is simply another way of avoiding truth.

The real simple truth is this: wellness MDs, functional medicine MDs and conventional MDs who don’t worship bureaucratic public health pronouncements (like the FLCCC team) could save the cv19 patients who otherwise are dying under your care, and the care of MDs like you. It is that simple. The fact that you have bought into and promote the narrative...well I don’t need to repeat myself yet again.

So, it is about the dead bodies and loss of freedoms.
