May cause a lot more harm than good

Akiko Iwasaki / vaccination for long haulers

Key treatment: COVID vaccine

Theory: COVID vaccines seem to help many people suffering from long COVID (but not vaccine injury). It also makes symptoms worse in some long haulers. A viral reservoir of SARS-CoV-2 would explain why vaccination helps with symptoms in those who benefit from vaccination.

Iwasaki is doing a study on long haulers who plan on taking a COVID vaccine. They will receive blood tests that may not be commercially available. Participants must be close to New Haven, CT, USA. https://www.survivorcorps.com/yale

While the results of that study do not seem to be available yet, Iwasaki (@VirusesImmunity) and her colleague Harlan Krumholz are currently enrolling for a study on post-vaccine syndromes (along with long COVID and post-acute infection syndromes). She is certainly recognizing vaccine injury as something that is worth studying.

Iwasaki has various presentations on Youtube such as: https://youtu.be/ggyOnEpM0x8 https://youtu.be/kFqK2M_FK7o
