TL;DR? “More than 13.5 billion doses of Covid vaccines have been administered globally over the past three years, saving over 1 million lives in Europe alone. Still, a small proportion of people immunized were injured by the shots, stoking debate about their benefits versus harms.”

The article is light on the actual numbers of the 13 rare health conditions that were the focus of the study, but mention is made of 240 patients with “exercise intolerance, excessive fatigue, numbness and “brain fog” out of a study sample size of 99M.

I leave you to draw your own conclusions.

Bet they were already suffering from long covid and blamed the symptoms on the vaccine.

i noticed a lot of symptoms of long covid are the same symptoms of being generally out of shape.

"After covid, i got winded after going up the stairs!!"

A friend of mine has Long Covid. Prior to catching it in 2020 she was in great physical shape and an avid hiker of the Scottish Munros. Now she has issues finding an activity that doesn't leave her winded, or extremely fatigued.

Long Covid is real, not something made up because a person was all ready in poor health prior to catching the virus.
