Reply to comment by [deleted] in The study concluded that post-COVID-19 syndrome was detected in 25% of the included participants. COVID-19 hospitalization, initial symptomatic COVID-19, and female sex were significant risk factors for developing post-COVID-19 syndrome. by bo_hossuin_14
Yeah, it’s unfortunate that even when vaccinated and boosted and masked, others who aren’t those things can still choose to spread it to us. I got Covid just a few weeks after a booster shot a year ago because my coworkers and the customers rarely masked or didn’t have up to date vaccinations. Just basing that off the reported numbers. It sucks. And now we might have permanent or long term health issues because of other peoples’ carelessness when it comes to infectious disease. I’m just glad I’m not immunocompromised or have some serious physical disability, otherwise I could potentially be a hell of a lot worse

At least the vaccine you took lessens the seriousness of the infection and reduces risk of hospitilization.

Yeah. It’s not enough comfort though considering there’s still a 1 in 5 chance I’ll get long covid and it gets more likely with each reinfection

Vaccination also lowers the overall chance of long-Covid, and it looks like vaccination might even help treat the ongoing symptoms of long-Covid: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(22)00354-6/fulltext

You need to accept some responsibility in your life.

If I understand your comment right, how is the person you're responding to not accepting responsibility?

By masking and vaccinating to the best of my ability I guess ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you, it didn't make any sense to me either :-) I'm here scratching my head
