Wed, 2024-09-04 10:26 — mike kraft
COVID Vaccines Reduce Long COVID Risk, New Study Shows A study published in The New England Journal of Medicine found that COVID-19 vaccinations played a key role in the drop in Long COVID cases. Yale Medicine

The good news is, the risk of developing Long COVID has dropped significantly since the start of the pandemic—and, according to a new study, we have COVID-19 vaccines to thank for much of this decline. The bad news is, the risk of developing this post-acute infection syndrome remains substantial.

The other suggested that pain is the most prevalent and severe symptom among long-COVID patients and that demographic factors such as age and ethnicity play a role in symptom severity.  CIDRAP

Mpox is a global health emergency, but seems unlikely to trigger another pandemic
