    Fox News go figure.

    "Vaccine uptake clearly plays a role, as multiple studies have shown that at least three shots decreases the risk of long COVID significantly," he told Fox News Digital.

    OVER HALF THE PEOPLE WHO GET COVID HAVE LINGERING SYMPTOMS AFTER 3 YEARS, NEW STUDY FINDS

    Underlying diseases represent another significant factor, Siegel pointed out.

    "We know that obesity, for example, increases risk of severe COVID dramatically, and severe COVID correlates with persistent symptoms and long COVID," he said.

    Largest Covid Vaccine Study Yet Finds Links to Health Conditions (msn.com)

    (Bloomberg) -- Vaccines that protect against severe illness, death and lingering long Covid symptoms from a coronavirus infection were linked to small increases in neurological, blood, and heart-related conditions in the largest global vaccine safety study to date.

    The rare events — identified early in the pandemic — included a higher risk of heart-related inflammation from mRNA shots made by Pfizer Inc., BioNTech SE, and Moderna Inc., and an increased risk of a type of blood clot in the brain after immunization with viral-vector vaccines such as the one developed by the University of Oxford and made by AstraZeneca Plc.

    Myocarditis, or inflammation of the heart muscle, was consistently identified following a first, second and third dose of mRNA vaccines, the study found. The highest increase in the observed-to-expected ratio was seen after a second jab with the Moderna shot. A first and fourth dose of the same vaccine was also tied to an increase in pericarditis, or inflammation of the thin sac covering the heart.

    Safety Signals
    Researchers found a statistically significant increase in cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome within 42 days of an initial Oxford-developed ChAdOx1 or “Vaxzevria” shot that wasn’t observed with mRNA vaccines. Based on the background incidence of the condition, 66 cases were expected — but 190 events were observed.

    This might be the first credible article that you have posted in this thread. There was nothing in the study that was particularly negative. Obviously if you are one of the 7 total people out of the 99 million people reviewed who developed acute disseminated encephalomyelitis then this is non-trivial, but by and large, the researchers sum up their conclusions correctly concerning safety signals vs benefit of the COVID vaccines, and in fact, this applies to literally every vaccine and medication ever produced from aspirin to SpikeVax to the Small Pox vaccine.

    It’s all in your head.

    Also, the mind is a powerful thing.

    What to know about the Coronavirus and Blood Donation

    The Red Cross is following FDA blood donation eligibility guidance for those who receive a COVID-19 vaccination, and deferral times may vary depending on the type of vaccine an individual receives. If you’ve received a COVID-19 vaccine, you’ll need to provide the manufacturer name when you come to donate. Upon vaccination, you should receive a card or printout indicating what COVID-19 vaccine was received, and we encourage you to bring that card with you to your next donation. In most cases, there is no deferral time for individuals who received a COVID-19 vaccine as long as they are symptom free and feeling well at the time of donation. The following eligibility guidelines apply to each COVID-19 vaccine received, including boosters:


    • There is no deferral time for eligible blood donors who are vaccinated with an inactivated or RNA based COVID-19 vaccine manufactured by AstraZeneca, Janssen/J&J, Moderna, Novavax, or Pfizer.
    • Eligible blood donors who received a live attenuated COVID-19 vaccine or do not know what type of COVID-19 vaccine they received must wait two weeks before giving blood.
    • If you have an appointment scheduled and need to change your donation date based on the above guidance, click here.
    • If you have further eligibility questions, please call 1-800-RED CROSS.

    IOWs…

    If you chose to take an unnecessary shot we need to know when before we can take your blood. As if you are having a reaction that’s not good.

    Good news. This does not effect that many people now.

    Hmm. Pretty good spread rate this version.

    Wife went to a bridle shower this weekend. 6 have tested positive since. It’s been 4 days. Super spreader felt ill during it Saturday, left early. 18 people still fine.

    pretty interesting data if you dig into it. Seems like there aren’t any surprises and the results overall are pretty good
