Explanations for ‘long Covid’ remain elusive. Research in early stages

Wed, 2020-12-30 10:15 — mike kraft

Explanations for ‘long Covid’ remain elusive. Believing patients helps “The vaccines and therapeutics, they were easy. With this post-acute Covid syndrome ... it's kind of a wild, wild West right now.” Elizabeth Cooney STAT

Nearly a year into the coronavirus pandemic, the perplexing problems of Covid-19 long-haulers seem no nearer resolution — or even explanation — than when they first puzzled doctors and patients in the spring.

Natural Immunity’ From Covid Is Not Safer Than a Vaccine

Mon, 2020-12-07 10:40 — mike kraft

On the heels of last month’s news of stunning results from Pfizer’s and Moderna’s experimental Covid-19 vaccines, Senator Rand Paul tweeted a provocative comparison.

Mr. Paul is one of many people who, weary of lockdowns and economic losses, have extolled the benefits of contracting the coronavirus. The senator was diagnosed with the disease this year and has argued that surviving a bout of Covid-19 confers greater protection than getting vaccinated.
