strange people flagging my comment - but we were all told 1) you dont get covid if you are injected 2) you stay out of hospitals if you are injected 3) you dont have long term effects from covid if you are injected

actually the opposite is true. Friends of mine are dead, some others with multiple heart attacks, some unable to work.

But people flag my comment because they dont want to hear how they were duped - rather than getting angry about it.

the message was : 1) you're less likely to get covid if you are injected 2) you're less likely to need to go to the hospital if you are injected 3) when the vaccine first came out, no one knew of or talked about long covid

actually when the vaccine first came out, no one knew of or talked about long covid (no idea why I cant just edit my reply)

do the unvaccinated get "long covid"?

It was absolutely a thing before the vaccines. It started on social media and took a lot of pushing before doctors and researchers started looking at it.
