It does help. But it’s not a 100% thing. It’s quite common to still get Long COVID with the vaccines. My local long COVID clinic says about 50% of patients were atleast 2x vaccinated.

I was 4x vaccinated my self and have been completely bedridden by long COVID. The only surefire way to prevent long COVID is to stop spreading COVID.

My opinion is they’re going out on a limb to increase child vaccinations, in order to protect aging and unhealthy adults.

You should definitely get the vaccine, but it won't stop you from getting covid, only make it less severe. It does not prevent long covid.

I believe he was previously in shams but now he is totally in shambles fully.

Meanwhile my brother is convinced the vaccine makes people's hearts literally explode and has trained his ever increasing number of kids to be anti vax too. I think he's up to six now, a full pokemon party

I think with those people covid is a lost battle (and fortunately we no longer have original or delta variant), but it worries me that they also refuse vaccines that previously people didn't have problem with.

Anti vaxxers were a thing LONG before covid, a certain group of people absolutely did have a problem with them. I'll admit covid expanded that group of people, but they always existed.

Look how old this video is:

"one plus one equals two, more at 11"

But you just said 11 equals two.
