Covid Vaccinations: Efficacy, Options, & Special Considerations for Chronic Illness
People with chronic illnesses often have compromised immune systems or ongoing health issues that can affect how they respond to vaccines. The effectiveness and potential side effects of vaccines may differ for these individuals compared to the general population. Individuals with chronic illnesses may be at a higher risk of experiencing adverse reactions to vaccines. This can make them hesitant to receive the vaccine and necessitates a careful evaluation of risks and benefits.
Solve Chief Scientific Officer H. Tim Hsiao, PhD. talks to infectious disease epidemiologist and science communicator Jessica Malaty Rivera M.S. (Chair, Committee of Scientific and Medical Advisors, Vaccinate Your Family) and distinguished physician Melanie Hoppers, M.D. (Medical Provider, Bateman Horne Center) about the complex issues surrounding Covid vaccination for those with ME/CFS, Long Covid, and other infection-associated chronic conditions and illnesses.
This comprehensive session delves into:
•The effectiveness of Covid vaccinations in preventing Long Covid and other long-term symptoms.
•An overview of the different types of Covid vaccines currently available.
•Insights into how vaccine manufacturers address the special needs of individuals with chronic illnesses during vaccine development.
•Expert advice on how people with ME/CFS, Long Covid, and other infection-associated chronic conditions can make informed decisions about Covid vaccination.

    I made it 12 minutes into the video and gave up. It's too long. Seems like it is just more of the same info we already had. Same general statistics that have been public knowledge for a long time now. I could use a summary with only the results of studies/trials that included people with ME/CFS. From what I've learned over the past few years, we are intentionally excluded from studies and trials, so the results don't apply to us. Their advice on what to do before and after vaccination is not doable for me and probably many others with ME/CFS. Rest? I need to live my life and I have responsibilities. I am always trying to rest, but there is only so much time to do that. Am I supposed to try to rest even more? Not really possible. Take H1 and H2 blockers...can't take them due to side effects. Reschedule around PEM...how can you do that when it's unpredictable and appointments are hard to get? So I quit watching. Seems like the rest of the hour will be a waste of my time/energy.

  • @antares4141
    @antares4141 14 днів тому

    A real good youtube channel on Vaccines and all of the myths surrounding them is "debunk the funk". If you are going to trust authorities the incidences of injuries are very very very low. I've heard the analogy taking tylenol is statistically less safe than most vaccines for most complications. I used to be anti vaccine not so much anymore. Still have a lot of distrust towards authorities especially the once trying to push the BS that CFS/ME is psychological and can be cured through graded exercise and cognitive behavioral therapy. Far as I am concerned they are criminals. A lot of the claims to vaccine injury are flukes in other words not statistically significant. But you hear about those not all the recipients who got there vaccine without incident. There is also cause and correlation. If someone got a stroke that doesn't mean the wouldn't have gotten it anyways. Or in other words correlation doesn't "necessarily" mean causation. And then there are people with invisible illnesses like covid and me/cfs. There is no way for authorities to quantify this since they can't confirm it with a diagnosis. Where I'm going with this is "Long covid vaccine injury" or "Long Vaccine" There is no way to quantify something like this cause there is no way to A confirm it, and B confirm the vaccine was responsible. IE the person could have gotten covid and not known it. And dr's never mention this because of political correctness but there are lots of people put plainly who are full of crap. Those people ruin it for everyone else especially those who are suffering from these debilitating illnesses.

    So I fell asleep listening when it was live. Just listened to it. I didn't find this helpful at all. We kept getting the same responses. I understand every person is different and react differently to just about everything. But I wanted more than what I read on MEaction, which was suggested to us to read from medical provider in this. My doctors don't know much about ME, so I feel like I can't even go and ask my doctor for their recommendations. If there is no scientific data to show if the risks outweigh the benefits, not sure what the point was of this.

      Thank you for this comment; I suspected committing a full hour to this might be a waste of precious spoons, so I’ll skip it. I’ll add here what my functional medicine doctor (extremely well versed in LC) told me last summer when I asked him if I should consider getting any of the upcoming fall vaccines: “I cannot recommend that any of my long hauler patients take any vaccines at this point. We just don’t know enough about what they will do to an already amped up immune response.”

    • @flammewerfer
      @flammewerfer 14 днів тому

      Disregarding the fact that CFS/ME sufferers can still have a limited social life, they probably aren't going to be able to take good care of themselves on their own and will be around people who do go out and potentially bring back the covid virus. Also, people seem to be misconstruing the ideas "the virus and vaccine can both potentially cause long covid" with "the virus and vaccine have an equal risk of causing long covid." They're not even close to comparable, the virus is far more likely to cause long covid than the vaccine.

    What helps me to sleep is 10mg of melatonin, magnesium citrate and zinc before bedtime every night. Then I get up around 3a.m. , use the restroom and then eat a banana and yogurt with honey. That puts me back to sleep 😴😴😴😴😴. Nighty-nite!!!! Studies can be good, but why waste time and money when natural remedies can help just as well. My opinion of the so-called studies going on are again a waste of time and money. Doctor's and nurses need to be trained using Dr. Sarah Myhill's book snd Dr. Jacob Teitelbaums book. Reading and studying those two books i have gone from bed ridden in 2021to now about 80 to 90 percent well. MECFS is such an individual disease we need more naturopathic doctors trained in caring for those with MECFS. Just my 2-cents.😮 Miss Monique

    Here's to sub grouping with larger scale studies! We've known we need this for ages. About time someone (who actually has the funds) actually funds them. We're being held back by this dramatically. Here's also to studying PEM, the NIH feedback from the community was full of people saying why haven't you mentioned PEM, you must study this, it's so important to us as patients, and yet it's so under studied. From my perspective, if I had to choose just a single one of these horrific symptoms that I have, to get rid of, it would be PEM! For sure. It's hell on earth. And almost impossible to get a grip on when you reach the severe end and are having to fight to get the right level of support to help you literally stay alive. You can't pace to remove PEM if you're not able to get the right support. I'd really love some kind of medication that could help manage it. I feel like it's the key to this illness!!! When I remove PEM I improve. When I keep triggering it I get sicker over time. How is it not more of a big deal in the research world???

    I have heard for over ten years now about mitochondrial etiologies for ME/CFS, and it seems like a reasonable, well motivated, possibility based on some of the symptoms. Research papers seem to extend this association all the time. However, it seems that none of these pts are worked up by properly trained and experienced biochemical metabolism and medical genetics / mitochondrial disorders specialists. Dr. Fran Kendall, as one example of a competent expert, who has worked in mitochondrial medicine for well over thirty years. These people are out there in good numbers. They know all about specialty testing, which is available from competent, CLIA-certified labs. The kind of thorough metabolic and genetic work-up they can provide is needed by thousands of pts. If only a few pts are sorted out of the murky ME/CFS category as a result of a more definitive diagnosis, that will be a great leap forward for them. And what else might we learn in the fall out? Perhaps a panel discussion of these experts at an ME/CFS conference, as a start towards involving more of them, will help clarify this topic.

All the dopes in the Solve Nothing initiative, which include some infectious disease docs based out of NYC, should just retire. Stand aside and stop making these time wasting, useless videos. Nobody should say a word about ME/CFS until there is a cure, and the cure definitely won’t come from you dopes.
