[D66] Post-infectie vaccinatie helpt tegen Post-Covid (Wuhan Coronavirus 2019-nCoV #957)

[Dr. Marc-Alexander Fluks]

[Opnieuw een leugen van Van Dissel doorgeprikt. Wie covid krijgt, doet 
er goed aan om zich razendsnel te laten vaccineren, ongeacht wat een 
arts beweert, teneinde om alsnog aan (een levenslange) post-covid te 
ontsnappen]

Vaccines are effective against Long COVID: Study
------------------------------------------------

Getting at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine decreases the chances of 
having symptoms beyond 3 weeks or developing long COVID, a new analysis 
shows.

When compared to people who got no vaccine at all, a single dose of 
Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, or the Janssen vaccine was 29% effective 
at preventing long COVID. The protection was strongest (35% effective) 
for those who were vaccinated before being infected with the 
coronavirus. Post-infection vaccination also helped (27% effective).

Since the analysis 'showed a significant reduction of post-COVID-19 
conditions with the vaccine even after having COVID-19, vaccine should 
be offered to unvaccinated individuals who have had COVID-19,' the 
authors wrote.

The study was published this week by Cambridge University Press in the 
journal Antimicrobial Stewardship & Healthcare Epidemiology.

Researchers analyzed data for 1.6 million people from 10 studies 
published from December 2019 to April 2022. The studies they selected 
evaluated COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness by comparing outcomes for 
vaccinated and unvaccinated people. Specifically, the researchers looked 
at how many people had symptoms present 3 or more weeks after having 
COVID-19.

'The most common symptoms were fatigue or muscle weakness, muscle pain, 
anxiety, impaired memory, sleep difficulties, and shortness of breath,' 
according to a summary of the analysis.

Up to 23 million people in the United States are believed to have long 
COVID, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services. 
Among people who have been infected with COVID-19, the CDC estimates 
that 13.3% have symptoms for a month or longer, and 2.5% have symptoms 
for 3 months or longer. Long COVID was included in protections under the 
Americans With Disabilities Act starting in July 2021.

The study authors cautioned that their findings have limits and said 
that they could not evaluate the effectiveness of vaccines for long 
COVID among people with weakened immune systems because of a lack of 
data. A more standardized definition of long COVID is needed 'for 
research and clinical purposes,' they wrote.
