"Study Identifies Over 200 Long COVID Symptoms"

A new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine reveals that long COVID can cause over 200 symptoms and does not require a positive COVID-19 test for diagnosis. The findings aim to guide the Social Security Administration and highlight the condition's impact on daily activities, with women being twice as likely as men to experience it. Hospitalization increases the risk of long COVID, which shares similarities with other chronic conditions like ME/CFS and fibromyalgia. While many improve within 12 months, some symptoms may not qualify as impairments under current SSA guidelines.

"New Report Highlights Long COVID's Severity"

A new 265-page report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine highlights the serious and persistent nature of long COVID, affecting millions of Americans across all demographics. The report notes that long COVID can cause a wide range of symptoms, impact daily functioning, and may require tailored rehabilitation programs. It also emphasizes the need for better diagnostic criteria and treatment options, and highlights the increased risk for those with severe initial infections, women, and unvaccinated individuals. Children are less affected but can still experience significant symptoms. The report calls for accommodations for those returning to work and acknowledges the additional challenges faced by economically disadvantaged and marginalized groups.

"Comprehensive Report Debunks COVID-19 Vaccine Misconceptions"

Independent reviewers found a causal link between the first mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and myocarditis, as well as shoulder injuries from intramuscular shots, but rejected causal relationships between the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna mRNA COVID vaccines and female infertility, Guillain-Barré syndrome, Bell's palsy, thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), and myocardial infarction. The report also noted insufficient data to establish a causal link between the Moderna vaccine and ischemic stroke. The study was commissioned by the Health Resources and Services Administration to address claims for compensation under its Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program.
