Tomorrow would be a good day for Diane Feinstein to retire

She is very old. Her mental state is questionable. The Governor may be recalled.

Go to the internal links.

The analysis was poorly done. Most likely, the vaccine has an 80 ish percentage effectiveness at preventing infection.

Can vaccinated people get long Covid? Doctors say risk is 'very, very small'

Dr. Michele Longo, an assistant professor of neurology at Tulane University in New Orleans who works with long-haul patients, said she has not seen such patients following a breakthrough infection. Neither has Dr. Maureen Lyons, medical director of the Care and Recovery from Covid-19 Clinic at Washington University in St. Louis.

Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly, a clinical epidemiologist, also at Washington University, is studying the effects of Covid-19 vaccination on the risk of long Covid-19. His research, which is not yet finished, looks at information on more than 5 million veterans within a Department of Veterans Affairs database, including 200,000 who were diagnosed with Covid-19.

"Of the people who get vaccinated and end up with a breakthrough infection, their risk of coming back to the clinic with some long Covid manifestation is very, very small," Al-Aly said.
