"COVID Vaccines Reduce Risk of Post-Infection Heart Complications and Blood Clots, Study Shows"

A large European study suggests that COVID-19 vaccines reduce the risk of heart failure and blood clots for at least 6 months after SARS-CoV-2 infection. The study, which included data from 10.2 million vaccinated and 10.4 million unvaccinated individuals, found that COVID-19 vaccination reduced the risk of post-COVID cardiac and thromboembolic outcomes, with more pronounced effects for acute COVID-19 outcomes. The study authors called for further research on the long-term effectiveness of vaccination, the impact of emerging variants, and the potential need for booster doses.

COVID-19 Linked to Neurological Disorders and Increased MS Disability.

Patients with functional neurological disorder (FND) after COVID-19 infection had different symptoms than people with FND after COVID-19 vaccines, according to a retrospective study. Those with FND after COVID-19 vaccination more closely resembled classic FND, while those with post-COVID FND tended to be older, had more insidious onset, and had higher disability. The findings point to a need to consider FND when diagnosing patients with post-COVID neurologic symptoms.
