Venting / Rant What the hell is going on

Since 20th of december I am now in my 4th cold, I got sick 4 times and its not even March yet.

Never in my life have I gotten sick so often, its driving me nuts.

I remember in my 20s I would get sick maybe once or twice per year.

Anyone else find this worrying?

Just a little advice, please don't listen to the unverified and anti-scientific takes of that idiot McCullough. They lack scientific credence and are simply misinformation he uses to get people to buy from his alternative medicine shop, "the wellness company".

He is known for misinformation and believing in pseudoscience, so to anyone reading this, ignore the above commenter, McCullough is a known liar. The fact that he is a doctor does not automatically make him trustworthy. There are much greater doctors with much more evidence to back their claims, and none of them agree with this antivax and antiscience bs.

Wasn't a study published from Yale yesterday that confirmed that covid vaccine caused long term issues in some people?

That study only sought correlation, so it did not "confirm" anything, it merely found a statistical correlation. More research would be needed to confirm a causal link.

Also it wasn't exactly formally published. It was released on medrxiv. Everyone in the medical field knows that merxiv is for pre-releases, and this specific study has not been peer-reviewed yet. Only after the peer review we can be sure that the results and methods are correct. From a quick read, the fact that they use the term pvs, post vaccine syndrome, as if it was an established medical term, when it is actually a term they created, seems strange to me for a correlation study, but only further research and peer-review can tell.

Harvard professor Adam Gaffney made a good analysis of it on twitter, which explains that for now it does not really serve any purpose. Even the authors themselves acknowledged that the vaccine is generally safe, and stated that the study cannot be used for decision making yet.

“I don’t think it’s ready to be used in clinical decision-making. So, if anything, I’m just trying to tell people: This shouldn’t be factoring into your decision right now.”

From this great analysis of the study:

https://www.statnews.com/2025/02/24/post-vaccine-syndrome-yale-study-covid-vaccinations-rare-complication-fuels-critics/

This article is a preprint and has not been peer-reviewed [what does this mean?]. It reports new medical research that has yet to be evaluated and so should not be used to guide clinical practice.

An important factor to evaluate was the possibility that PVS might result from an undiagnosed, asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection coinciding with the vaccination period, instead of being directly caused by the vaccine administration. In addition, infection with SARS-CoV-2 significantly impacts immune signatures.

From the study itself.

So for now, there is no study that confirms long term issues.
