Can you provide proof of this or links to research? Making claims like this is counter productive and only helps to empower the antivaxxers.

I totally agree with your point re: the need for data. I would push back a bit on the rhetorical issues with conflating traditional 'antivaxxers' with everyone who may be skeptical of these vaccines. It's not clear that these issues can be meaningfully grouped together on an ontological level.
Sorry about that. It isn't really anything to do with the vaccines. It is simply something that may help others, since some unfortunate few (very small %) are even getting "long covid" from just the vaccine alone.

Niacin appears to be very well studied, but not in the context of post-viral illnesses. But there are a mountain of papers which may help to explain why it works. Here are a few:

Lipids in covid: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7869689/ Sars CoV 2 entry to cells: https://www.nature.com/articles/s42255-020-00324-0 Replication etc: https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371/j... Nicotinic acid’s effects on lipids: https://www.eurekaselect.com/126340/article

Whats the mechanism for long covid from vaccines? Didn't think any of the links mentioned that.
No idea - I haven't even seen it officially recognized, or studied. But I can guess its all to do with the spike protein.
Why do you hate free speech and open discussion?

Why do you hate antivaxxers - are you trained in medicine, molecular biology, etc. or is this nothing more than orthodox ideological position?

The scientific method and science itself is NEVER SETTLED. And it is always advanced from discussion including anecdotes that become more formal research.
