My colleague got her first vaccine in January as she was considered immunocompromised but days after she had swollen ankles, lymph nodes, some brain fog, and a bunch of symptoms. They’ve run tests on her such as cancer and other illnesses and has not been able to find anything. She also got her second shot after but 6 months later since the initial, she’s now questioning whether it’s the vaccines it was the only thing that was different for her day to day and doctors haven’t been able to find anything else.

My mom’s friend had 2 doses as well but with the 2nd dose she’s gone deaf in one ear. Same thing, doctors are running a lot of tests on her to determine if it’s something else, but it’s been months as well and no findings yet.

And then a good friend of mine, doctor at a local hospital, got his 2 doses way back and his alopecia came back (though he had cancer 15 years ago and had beat it) so the vaccine may have triggered it back.

These are some first hand cases I know with people that have symptoms post vaccination. Long covid sucks but I don’t think we can discredit the fact that there may be ‘long covid shots’ too.

I think we all need to look at our own risk profile and determine the risk of firstly getting it, recovering from it and then should long covid happen, how to manage it. I really like how Dr. John Campbell puts it here https://youtu.be/ReDzaHoNwi0 (starts 19:54). Though if your kids at vulnerable then that’s a different story.

@cameronks retweeted about a study that says severe COVID-19 is an autoimmune condition. I think this also suggests "long covid" and reactions to the jabs are also auto-immune conditions.

The shots are made with the spike protein, which probably does damage regardless of its source (virus / pharmaceutical product).
