As I've said many times long haulers are the new boogeyman to push people to get the vaccine. All sounds very scary and very difficult to prove any causation and people post Covid are probably attributing anything that is wrong with them to Covid. I know many people who had mild cases of Covid, no long haulers.

Maybe so. I think they are overblown. Yet I still haven't seen a compelling reason to not take the vaccine in spite of this? And still don't understand anyone's logic behind it and have been genuinely trying to. (other than those who have already had covid then I somewhat understand)

It's basically zero risk, versus in a 1 in a 100 chance type of risk, all with the added benefit of helping society to boot. So a complete win win in my eyes, All for a free, easy and convenient cost

I'm vaccinated because I was not as concerned about any side effects (actually wasn't worried at all) as I was tired of our society being slave to the fear of the virus. That's just for full disclosure on my vax status.

The bold part is the hypothetical correct number if I've interpreted correctly and the study can be extrapolated fairly well to the entire US population. It was 10% of the group of previously mild COVID sufferers. Only 10%ish of the US has been declared to have had a case.

If we assume the experiences of these female nurses can reflect the gen pop and we take the liberal approach that all of the US cases were "mild" to give us the total afflicted group as our mildly afflicted pop, then 10% of the US pop had mild cases and 10% of those had long-term after effects so 1% (or 1 in 100 as beerad12man stated) of the US pop has long-term after-affects vs basically 0% of vaccinated people having long-term after-affects.

Understandable why some non-vax people would not increase their COVID concerns even with the results of this study.

I went from sleeping 5.5 to 6.5 hours a night to 7 to 8.

Had Covid mid-December.

That sounds like a positive to me. I wish I could get 7 decent hours of sleep. Almost never in my life have I been able to do that.

My 89 year old grandmother caught it in November and had to be hospitalized. She went in gasping for air and they got her the monoclonal antibodies and she felt fine 24 hours later, and was released from the hospital 3 days later (though she tested positive for like 2 weeks after).

Fast forward to March and her kidneys start failing. She already had low function (24% or so) but dropped down to 17, then 12, then 10 all in a few weeks time. She was admitted to the hospital one Friday to get an IV and dialysis, and passed away Sunday night.

Not sure if there is a connection between the covid after effects or if was just old age, but it seemed to come out of left field with the timing. Was playing bridge on a Wednesday and having a grand time with friends, dead before the weekend was over.

Good friend family Physician I hunt with said he is seeing all kinds of people who were mainly young (30-40), very healthy who had very mild symptoms with their Covid now having hair fall out, breathing issues, fatigue etc. He had two young men who now have severe hearing loss and one young woman who completely lost her hearing in one ear and 80% loss in the other.
