Yale Study Links COVID Vaccines to Long-Term Health Effects

Recent studies indicate that COVID-19 vaccines significantly reduce the risk of long COVID in children and adolescents by 57–73 percent, while also showing no connection to sudden cardiac issues in young athletes. Despite these findings, only 14 percent of children aged 5 to 17 are up to date on their vaccines, as many parents perceive them as unnecessary due to mild infections. Concurrently, researchers from Yale have identified a condition termed 'post-vaccination syndrome' (PVS), which may cause chronic symptoms in a small subset of individuals following vaccination, including fatigue and cognitive difficulties. Preliminary findings suggest immune system changes and the persistence of spike protein in those affected by PVS, although further research is needed. The discourse surrounding these issues has sparked both support and skepticism, with some experts urging caution and further investigation into vaccine safety. The contrasting views highlight ongoing debates about vaccine efficacy and safety within the public health community.
