LONG covid? COVID Pneumonia?

A new thing i've seen trending is people trying to state that covid causes myocarditis.

Pfizer gave half of their trial participants the vaccine, half got saline. They tracked side effects in both groups. No placebo participants got myocarditis, and a side note worth mentioning, none of the placebo group got Bells Palsy


i'm not sure there is much in it.

inject me with salt water. nothing happens
inject me with something that looks like a virus. something happens
in my opinion that would be the expected outcome.

Side effects that are common to an immune response to something new? or associated with recovery from a virus that exercised your immune suystem in the extream? probably

its a bit of a jump to imply that its only covid vaccines or covid infections that casue these two outcomes when they didn't do a control experiment usuing another vaccine for something else

bells palsy been around for ever, not well understood but cosndierd by many to be triggred by inflamed nerves in the face as a result of an over exicted immune system engaged in fighting off somthing else.

i.e a big spate of cold sores or an episode of shingles could trigger the same.

an increase in cases doesn't strike me as surprising given that we've all just been exposed to a new virus or indeed a vccine that looks like a new virus

anyone who had the yellow fever or hepititus vaccine years ago will know that in those days you would feel awful for 24 hours. But becasue you usually got them when you are going travling to somewhere truely exciteing
or your were in the military going somewhere awful and had no choice

Nobody complained

or maybe they did cos those vaccines are less troublesome these days

they all have side effects and we are all different.
