HeyJoe,

It's really quite simple. People in the middle of long haul have a very taxed immune system. Simple as that. Their body is in "fight or flight" mode (when at their worst), and the body already has very high levels of inflammation and high histamine levels too. So, getting a vaccine would introduce yet another factor that may exacerbate these symptoms.

When I was 10 years old my birthday party was cancelled because I was sick and had a fever. My mom took me into the doctor. The nurses there thought it would be a great idea to give me my 10 year booster shots (keep in mind, I already had a fever). They gave me several, after which my body started shaking uncontrollably. My pediatrician was furious. He had to be called to the office from the hospital. At that time, it was really obvious that you don't give immunizations to people who are already sick. Lately, it seems that simple (common sense) insight has been forgotten.

Post-Covid lockdown it seems that if you've shown up at the doctor they decide to give you every last thing they can, all at the same time. Covid boosters, flu shots, pneumonia, shingles vaccines etc. And yes! Even while people are in the midst of long haul, with a very taxed and broken down immune system. Without knowing what the actual result will be -- no thank you!

Let's use a bit of common sense... Covid vaccinations DO NOT prevent the illness, nor do they prevent long haul -- the claim is that they only prevent the most severe cases of Covid, hospitalization and death. I received the initial doses, when Covid was at its worst. But am I, as an otherwise healthy 40 year old woman (who healed long haul on my own!), at risk for a *very serious case* of Covid and hospitalization? I don't think so. The current strains are very very mild, as shown by many people who have had Covid recently.

Another friend of mine, her 4 year old daughter went into the doctor post-Covid lockdown and since she hadn't been seen for a long time they did that exact thing -- gave her WAY too many vaccinations/boosters all at the same time -- multiple doses in each arm and leg (similar to what happened to me at age 10). That little girl went immediately into a coma type state, had a serious infection that surpassed the blood/brain barrier, and had/has serious brain damage for which she has been in many types of therapy for several years!

So, all I'm saying is that people should use their own common sense. Why does anyone need a booster who is otherwise healthy and stable? Oh and I have a friend in heart failure too, from the Covid vaccinations -- a previously healthy 42 year old, long distance runner, who now has permanent heart damage for which there is "nothing they can do". Was it worth it for him to take the vaccination?

I healed my own long haul within 4-6 months and NOT with the help of any regular doctor. I did my own research. I used common sense. I looked at the root cause of the problem. So yes, I feel very comfortable in my own assessment and research, intuition and common sense. But of course, everyone is free to make their own decision!

Hello Denglish, I am wondering what was helpful for you. I agree, everyone has to make their own decisions on what feels right for them. We all have unique systems, some have genetic issues with methylation and detoxification. The research is there, not sure why there is a one size fits all recommendation anymore, it can be a very complicated decision for some.

Your first paragraph is exactly what my doctor is talking about. The other consideration is that I’ve had the initial shot & every booster, plus Covid. She believes that I already have all of the antibodies I need to fight Covid.

Now I’m trying to wrap my head around the thought of not getting an available vaccine. It’s so helpful to hear from all of you.

What did you do specifically to heal your own long haulers in 4 to 6 months?

I feel the same. If I do get Covid again, I would take Paxlovid. It was not yet available when I got Covid two years ago.

You make a very good point about not getting vaxxxed while sick. And it is surprising that a Dr or RN would do that.

It does seem like the latest version of Covid are much milder than the first outbreak. There has been nothing on the news about dramatic increases in illness or hospitalization, and far fewer people are getting updated vaccines.

It is a personal choice. And as long as I'm healthy when the vaccines are available, I'll continue to get vaccinated. And for people reading this who haven't been vaccinated for Shingles but are in the high risk age range, I recommend you get the vaccines. It's a two-shot regimen, separated by I think two months.
