An estimated 6.4% of U.S. adults have skilled signs of lengthy COVID, a time period used to explain a fancy dysfunction that persists for 3 or extra months after contracting COVID-19.1 Whereas lengthy COVID has been extensively lined within the media, tens of millions extra undergo from lengthy vax — a situation with practically equivalent signs to lengthy COVID, however usually much more extreme.
New York pulmonologist Dr. Pierre Kory and Dr. Paul Marik, a crucial care physician previously with Sentara Norfolk Basic Hospital in East Virginia, are a part of the Entrance Line COVID-19 Crucial Care Working Group (FLCCC). They’re making an attempt to get the phrase out that lengthy vax just isn’t solely actual however has disabled many People who had been on the peak of well being previous to getting a COVID jab.2
At Lengthy COVID Clinic, 70% of Sufferers Have Lengthy Vax
Kory opened a tele-health apply that focuses on treating COVID illness, together with lengthy COVID. Kory says:3
“Lengthy COVID, though a brand new identify, just isn’t a brand new illness. It meets the diagnostic standards for a decades-old situation referred to as myalgic encephalitis/continual fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).
The three symptom ‘pillars’ which result in the analysis are fatigue, post-exertional malaise (PEM), and ‘mind fog’ (i.e. cognitive deficits starting from phrase discovering difficulties, quick time period reminiscence loss, lack of ability to focus/comprehend, and extra hardly ever confusion or disorientation).
Though this triad is current in practically each affected person I see (hardly ever mind fog is lacking), the sufferers additionally current with a ‘facet menu’ of issues which may embrace sensory neuropathies, dysautonomia/POTS, motor neuropathies, stomach points, musculoskeletal complaints, and cranial signs (i.e tinnitus, vertigo, complications, imaginative and prescient, listening to loss, scent loss, style loss).
A lot of my sufferers are debilitated and meet standards for incapacity, regardless of the bulk reporting being within the peak of well being and functioning previous to the pandemic.”
But, Kory and colleagues shortly seen that the majority of their sufferers reported their signs started “minutes, hours, days or a number of weeks”4 after receiving a COVID-19 shot. Whereas many had additionally had COVID-19, solely a small quantity tied their signs to the viral an infection.
Whereas the workforce initially referred to as the situation post-COVID vaccine damage syndrome, they modified the analysis to “lengthy vax” as a result of the signs had been so near lengthy COVID — the distinction being that the lengthy vax sufferers tended to be sicker, with extra frequent small fiber neuropathy and dysautonomia, Kory stated.5
Analysis Particulars Neuropathic Signs Following COVID-19 Jabs
Scientific research detailing lengthy vax signs proceed to emerge. In a single research from early within the pandemic, greater than two-thirds of these reporting lengthy COVID signs had unfavourable antibody assessments, suggesting no less than a few of them didn’t even have COVID-19.6 In the meantime, many COVID jab recipients report lengthy COVID-like signs.
As reported by Science journal in 2022, “In uncommon instances, coronavirus vaccines could trigger lengthy COVID-like signs,”7 which may embrace (however just isn’t restricted to) mind fog, reminiscence issues, complications, blurred imaginative and prescient, lack of scent, nerve ache, coronary heart price fluctuations, dramatic blood strain swings and muscle weak point. The sensation of “inside electrical shocks” are additionally reported.
Additionally in 2022, a preprint research from the U.S. Nationwide Institutes of Well being reported new neuropathic signs that started in 23 adults inside one month of receiving a COVID-19 shot.8 All the sufferers felt extreme tingling or numbness of their faces or limbs, and 61% additionally skilled dizziness when standing up, intolerance to warmth and coronary heart palpitations.
When 12 of the sufferers had their nerve perform examined, seven had much less sweating of their palms and toes than regular, whereas six had a situation the place their coronary heart beats too quick once they get up.9
The researchers additionally took pores and skin samples from the decrease legs of 16 sufferers. Amongst them, 31% confirmed indicators that the small nerves within the pores and skin weren’t as dense as they need to be, which may point out nerve injury. One other 13% had been on the border of being thought-about broken, and 19% had swollen nerve fibers. When 5 of the samples had been evaluated extra intently, indicators of an immune response within the blood vessels had been detected.10
Additional, whereas electrical assessments on the nerves had been regular for many individuals, 52% confirmed clear indicators of injury to the small nerves that may be felt however not simply seen. The research reveals that after getting the COVID-19 shot, a spread of signs associated to nerve injury is feasible, which is likely to be attributable to an immune system response.
Yale Scientists Element Lengthy Vax Signs
A research by Yale scientists, together with Dr. Harlan Krumholz of Yale Faculty of Drugs in New Haven, Connecticut, additionally make clear lengthy vax, which they described as continual post-vaccination syndrome, or PVS.11 In a research of 241 individuals who reported PVS after an mRNA COVID-19 shot, the median time from the jab to the onset of signs was three days, with signs persevering with for 595 days. The 5 commonest signs included:12
- Train intolerance (71%)
- Extreme fatigue (69%)
- Numbness (63%)
- Mind fog (63%)
- Neuropathy (63%)
Within the week earlier than the survey was accomplished, sufferers reported a spread of further signs highlighting the psychological toll the situation takes. The signs required a median of 20 interventions for remedy and included:13
Feeling unease (93%) |
Fearfulness (82%) |
Overwhelmed by worries (81%) |
Emotions of helplessness (80%) |
Nervousness (76%) |
Melancholy (76%) |
Hopelessness (72%) |
Worthlessness (49%) |
“On this research,” the researchers defined, “people who reported PVS after COVID-19 vaccination had low well being standing, excessive symptom burden, and excessive psychosocial stress regardless of making an attempt many therapies. There’s a want for continued investigation to know and deal with this situation.”14
Even a 2021 research reported a sequence of sufferers who skilled new autoimmune circumstances — or flare-ups of present autoimmune illness — following mRNA COVID-19 pictures,15 highlighting the significance of cautious analysis into the continuing well being dangers.
Will Lengthy Vax Be Censored?
It’s hopeful that scientific on lengthy vax is reaching medical journals and getting some media protection.16 However Kory and Marik are involved it might attain an identical destiny as different COVID shot protection in the course of the pandemic.
“The priority is that our findings, Krumholz’s research, and any studies of antagonistic occasions from COVID-19 vaccination, will likely be topic to the identical institutional censorship we noticed all through the pandemic. Suppressing this info dangers creating a fair greater catastrophe,” they instructed The Hill,17 referring to a possible epidemic of autoimmune illnesses that might happen because of this.
“America’s well being businesses must snap into motion to assist research this downside so we are able to higher perceive and deal with these circumstances. Sadly, there doesn’t appear to be a lot hope of this occurring,” Kory and Marik wrote. “The Nationwide Institutes of Well being is fixated on learning the impact of Paxlovid, an antiviral COVID remedy, to deal with lengthy COVID and lengthy vax, regardless of it having no confirmed impact on autoimmune illness.”18
Additional, Kory explains that whereas main medical facilities and hospitals throughout the U.S. have opened lengthy COVID clinics, the therapies they provide are largely ineffective, and so they usually gas-lit lengthy vax sufferers who tried to get assist:19
“[F]or most of 2022 into 2023, these facilities persistently gas-lit the Lengthy Vax sufferers who offered to these clinics. Gaslighting of medical accidents is the well-described lack of ability for physicians to acknowledge or settle for when their very own therapies (i.e the mRNA vaccines) trigger hurt …
The tales my sufferers would inform me of the care they acquired included what I’d describe as abuse or insults from the treating physicians when the sufferers tried to persuade them that the vaccines had been the trigger. These tales nonetheless make my blood boil and have estranged lots of my sufferers from ‘the system.’ I consider the gaslighting responses have lessened considerably however I don’t actually know the way a lot.
What angered me even additional is that the well being businesses solely directed funding at lengthy COVID and the medical literature and media solely referred to victims as having lengthy COVID. The contribution of the gene remedy vaccines are persistently ignored.”
Is Lengthy Vax Behind the Explosion of Incapacity Claims?
Kory believes that lengthy vax, and to a lesser extent lengthy COVID, are behind the explosion of incapacity claims which have occurred since COVID-19 pictures rolled out.20
Knowledge compiled by former BlackRock analyst and fund supervisor Edward Dowd revealed a sobering glimpse into the true carnage that occurred by the hands of the COVID-19 shot marketing campaign,21 and its outcomes are hanging. It revealed the next estimated human and financial prices:22
Human price:
- 26.6 million accidents
- 1.36 million disabilities
- 300,000 extra deaths
Financial price:
- Complete: $147.8 billion
- Accidents: $89.9 billion
- Disabilities: $52.2 billion
- Extra deaths: $5.6 billion
What’s extra, this knowledge is from the employed inhabitants, aged 16 to 64 — a sometimes wholesome crowd. To place this into perspective, John Leake writes on Brave Discourse, “Word that this dying depend in a single yr is 5.2 instances the variety of males killed in ten years of fight in Vietnam.”23

You may also entry FLCCC’s I-RECOVER24 information,25 which provides step-by-step directions on learn how to deal with reactions from COVID-19 injections.26
I additionally summarized methods to optimize mitochondrial well being in case you’re affected by lengthy COVID or lengthy vax, with a concentrate on boosting mitochondrial well being. To permit your physique to heal you’ll wish to reduce EMF publicity as a lot as doable. Your eating regimen additionally issues, because the cristae of the internal membrane of the mitochondria comprises a fats referred to as cardiolipin, the perform of which relies on the kind of fats you get out of your eating regimen.
The kind of dietary fats that promotes wholesome cardiolipin is omega-3 fats, and the kind that destroys it’s omega-6, particularly linoleic acid (LA), which is very inclined to oxidation. So, to optimize your mitochondrial perform, you wish to keep away from LA as a lot as doable and improve your consumption of omega-3s.
Main sources of LA embrace seed oils utilized in cooking, processed meals and restaurant meals made with seed oils, condiments, seeds and nuts, most olive oils and avocado oils (as a result of excessive prevalence of adulteration with cheaper seed oils). Animal meals raised on grains, comparable to standard hen and pork, are additionally excessive in LA.
One other main wrongdoer that destroys mitochondrial perform is extra iron — and virtually everybody has an excessive amount of iron. You may study extra in regards to the well being dangers of extra iron in my interview with Christy Sutton, D.C. The simplest strategy to decrease your iron is to donate blood two to 4 instances a yr.
Copper can be vital for vitality metabolism, cleansing and mitochondrial perform, and copper deficiency is widespread. Different methods embrace solar publicity and near-infrared mild remedy, NAD+ optimizers and methylene blue, which is usually a priceless rescue treatment. By bettering your mitochondrial perform and restoring the vitality provide to your cells, you’ll considerably improve your odds of reversing the issues attributable to the jab or the virus.
