Study shows a third of COVID survivors suffer neurological or mental disorders :
One in three COVID-19 survivors in a study of more than 230,000 mostly American patients were diagnosed with a brain or psychiatric disorder within six months, suggesting the pandemic could lead to a wave of mental and neurological problems, scientists said.
Researchers who conducted the analysis said it was not clear how the virus was linked to psychiatric conditions such as anxiety and depression, but that these were the most common diagnoses among the 14 disorders they looked at.
[...] The new findings, published in the Lancet Psychiatry journal, analysed health records of 236,379 COVID-19 patients, mostly from the United States, and found 34 per cent had been diagnosed with neurological or psychiatric illnesses within six months.
The Lancet article includes this disclaimer:
Big-data studies of this kind have intrinsic limitations, even when drawing on 81 million people, 236 379 of whom had COVID-19. In this pandemic context, not all individuals who are infected with SARS-CoV-2 (particularly those with mild or asymptomatic illness) will be diagnosed, which could result in some contamination of the comparison groups.
The question: will severe, enduring, and less common conditions such as psychoses behave more like neurological disorders or common mental disorders? Among the COVID-19 cohort in this study, a first diagnosis of a psychotic disorder was substantially more common in patients hospitalised with COVID-19.

In my area there are now tons of billboards and radio ads essentially begging people to take the vaccine. The radio ad is particularly funny, because a pathetically sympathetic voice goes, "The vaccines are safe. They are safe because studies show..." [ insert cherry-picked studies from corporate scientists here ]
I'm not sure about the Mexicans, but Blacks ain't getting this one -- they see all those ads targeting colored people and remember well the Tuskegee experiments. An Arab might remember that Osama Bin Laden was identified though a DNA collection program masquerading as a vaccine program. And White people, simply, are just plain too smart to fall for that shit. Again, pro-ronahoax-vaccine types are getting pissy that 40% of our nurses and first-responders are staying the fuck away from the vaccine with no plans to vaccinate. Good luck firing all of them, maybe they can be replaced with Pajeets or illiterate Mexicans.
I believe that the vaccine is toxic shit and will never receive one, even if I have to live out in the sticks and eat berries and game all day. But since big pharma is Jew-run, I think the M.O. behind it is much more simple -- being pro vax/mask/distancing vs. being anti-vax/anti-mask/anti-distancing is more of a political matter than a medical one -- in short, yet another wedge-issue to keep people divided to distract from the Jews' tricks. And as I have said before, when race-baiting is no longer effective, and when the ronahoax is no longer effective, climate change will be the new wedge issue to keep the public fighting each other and distracted from Jewish tricks. One can only wonder what other tricks beyond that the Jews have in store for the Goyim cattle. It's safe to say that they're always thinking two steps ahead, but thinking that Americans will settle for being their subjects is a grave miscalculation of judgement.

Sample size - several.
It is now 3- 1/2 weeks since I got the J&J vaccine. No side effects whatsoever.
It is now two months since my wife got the second Moderna shot. The second one gave her 24 hours of chills, but otherwise, no trouble. Last week she returned from her 2-week Maui vacation. She is free to visit her grand-kids now.
All of my children and spouses have had their vaccines without incident or side-effects.
I personally have no cause to caution against vaccination.

Maybe our genetics are not as fragile as yours, though. YMMV

I have every intention of getting it, but I'm waiting for people that need it more to get it first. I'm healthy and I've already had Covid and recovered so my risk is exceptionally low.
