President Joe Biden said Friday that he is planning to request more money from Congress to develop another new coronavirus vaccine, as scientists track new waves and hospitalizations rise, though not like before

    I’m saying. If they are already dealing with long Covid a new vaccine isn’t going to fix that. Sure, it may keep them from catching it again, but They’ll still have long Covid until they don’t.

    Covid isn’t going away at this point. EVER. This is now something we have to live with. There will now be a constant threat of covid hanging over our heads. I’m not saying that new vaccines shouldn’t be developed, but it also shouldn’t be big news. Every year a new flu vaccine comes out, and every year a new Covid vaccine will have to roll out. This is life now.

      Sorry, but your assumption is wrong. Available studies show post-COVID vaccination may be able to help long COVID symptoms.

      “Three of the five studies of vaccination after the infection showed significant reductions in patients with long covid, but none showed any harm of vaccination.”

      From this study: https://bmjmedicine.bmj.com/content/2/1/e000385

        Well, I hope it does help them. After all, no one deserves to suffer unnecessarily. If there is a treatment then that’s good.

        There are a lot of things that make me question the validity of what is said in that paper, but honestly I’m not really interested in debating your hope for your loved ones.

        Just to be clear. I hope it does work like that. A long shot is still a shot. I’ve hung my medical needs on a Hail Mary and won. So…

        I hope you have a good night, or day or whatever. I don’t know where you are.

        I’ll take the L on this one.
