MODERATORS
I still think these effects come from the vaccine, not the virus.
It would be interesting to see data showing if unvaccinated people got long covid symptoms. But since society decided to try and force vaccinations on everyone, I think it's going to be hard to see such data.
Vaccines*
There was more than one, but none of them were unusual in composition.
Long COVID is the permanent health proplems which people can suffer after recovering from COVID. It was noticed in people who survived infection even before any of the vaccines were developed.
So how the fuck can it be caused by the vaccine?! Not to mention studies show that being vaccinated REDUCES the severity of COVID, in terms of both temporary and permanent effects!
People who aren't vaccinated get hit HARDER by long COVID, not spared the condition entirely. The immune system reacts to the disease and vaccine in exactly the same way. Surviving COVID unvaccinated doesn't somehow mean your body beats the disease off "more properly".
It means the opposite, the disease gets more time to do more damage against a less prepared immune system.
Even the "Pfizer admits myocarditis side effect" thing that made the rounds on social media last year, was a known side effect that someone tried to make seem like it had been kept secret or covered up, and only "officially" admitted to last year. In reality it has been on the list of potential side effects since 2021. It's extremely rare, and suffering actual COVID has a far greater chance of causing the same complication.
