Of course, they don’t; the opposite is the case.
You do not have to look very hard in social media or on more traditional news media for articles or stories on long-term COVID-19 to visit the comments section to see the anti-vaxxer cult out in force claiming that the long-term COVID symptoms are a vaccine injury and due to the COVID vaccine.
BUT:
- Long COVID existed before the vaccines were even used! (do they think the vaccines time travelled?)
- Long-term symptoms affect 5-15% of all short-term infectious diseases, and COVID is no different. This chronic problem was well documented well before we even had vaccines. (how can the vaccines cause all the this?)
- Not one real expert who is actively working in the long COVID space and doing real medical research into long COVID thinks it has anything to do with vaccines. Only fake discredited ‘experts’ not working in this space think it is.
- Not one credible peer-reviewed study in a high quality journal links long covid to vaccines.
- The most recent systematic review and meta-analysis of all the studies in this space, showed that those who are vaccinated are less likely to get long covid than those who are un-vaccinated (see this).
