To all of you suffering from distressing symptoms after your vaccine, I would like to offer another bit of emerging research. This has not yet been peer reviewed, but it is quite interesting. From the New York Times http://e.startribune.com/Olive/ODN/StarTribune/shared/ShowArticle.aspx?doc=MST%2F2021%2F06%2F17&entity=Ar00104&sk=A65A6C20&mode=text

In short, the article from the New York Times reports that over 20% of people who had Covid, whether severe, moderate, mild, or even asymptomatic, suffered adverse health effects afterward. Sometimes even months later. Among the most reported are nerve and muscle pain, including in people who never had such problems in the past. Nine months after a severe, non-hospitalized case of Covid, my 41 year old daughter was diagnosed with severe rheumatoid arthritis, even though she never had ANY symptoms pre-Covid. Her partner at work was diagnosed 9 months after infection with asthma for the first time.

So, it is possible that some of the people reporting reactions after vaccine, especially those who had Covid, may have had these symptoms without the injection.

Also, I would like to see an evaluation of the percentage of the population reporting lingering or severe effects after Covid vs after vaccine. I know the number of event reports is far below 20% of the number of doses given. Last time I checked (in May) it was below 2%.

Just another piece in the puzzle that is Covid.
