The existence of Long Covid does not mean vaccine harm does not exist. Both things can be true. RFK Jr takes advantage of the lack of research into post vaccine (and post viral) condition to spread disinformation. This should be a call for more research into PASCV not denial of it’s existence.
I’m sure by now many of you have heard that RFK Jr.’s vaccine advisory board has “leaked” a report claiming that there is a chronic condition, similar to LongCOVID, that is caused by the COVID19 vaccine.
I wanted to take some time with it before I posted, and now I have, so here comes a thread.

She’s not lending credibility to RFK, she is advocating for patients she recognises as harmed by their vaccines. That evidence is being misused by RFK to push his agenda. Existence of PASCV is not dismissal of PASC. Saying PASCV is as common as PASC is wrong. So is saying PASCV isn’t real.

Most of you nailed it! For our October Diagnostic Dilemma, WNV PCR of CSF was the top pick — and the best diagnostic test for this case.

Great to see PASCV mentioned in the article body, but again ignored in header - talking only of “post acute infections“. The fact PASCV exists shows it’s not just infections. This group needs more research as a priority. Non infectious onset surely gives a head start in understanding mechanism?

2 are true and 1 is not:
1. He is heading up the Membership committee's campaign focusing on LatAm in 2026.
2. He has not attended the PASCV Annual Meeting.
3. He was a "smuggler" as part of his career path.

What’s your position on “long vax” or PASCV or whatever your favoured term is for those of us whom have identical symptoms triggered by the vaccine?

Judicial Invalidation of the FDA’s Laboratory-Developed Test Rule — Legal and Public Health Consequences | NEJM
Recently, a federal judge struck down an FDA rule on laboratory-developed tests. If
this invalidation stands, it will have consequences for clinical care and the FDA’s
authority over medical devices.

Not sure denying the existence of PASCV is the best way to counter Kennedy and his ilk using sick people as fodder to push his own agenda.

Dear @who.int,
I appreciate you having a dedicated myth-busting page outlining counters to key misconceptions about long COVID: www.who.int/europe/event...
who.canto.global/v/P238EIPA70...
However, the messaging that COVID vaccines *point blank* do not cause long COVID seems misleading 🧵

![WHO website reading:
Campaign materials
Long COVID can affect anyone exposed to COVID. Being young & fit doesnt protect you
You dont need to have been seriously ill–or have a pre-existing condition–to develop long COVID
Long COVID is a debilitating condition that can affect physical & cognitive functioning. It isnt just being a bit tired
Long COVID can affect anyone & impact work & wellbeing. It isnt “laziness” or “an excuse to stop working”
Long COVID continues for 2–3 months or more, so symptoms dont “only persist for a few weeks”
Long COVID is a real health condition. It isnt caused by stress, anxiety or poor mental health
[Outlined in red] COVID-19 vaccines reduce the risk of long COVID; they dont “cause” it
Long COVID hasnt gone away; new infections still lead to cases. It isnt “a thing of the past”

I’d like to thank you for pointing this out so eloquently. It’s a topic that requires sensitivity and nuance. Declaring that PASCV doesn‘t exist is extremely triggering for patients still suffering 5 years in.

It also reaffirmed my gratitude for researchers like Iwasaki and Putrino. Many scientific breakthroughs come from the outlier and edge cases. Maybe studying the PASCV cases could lead to a huge breakthrough in understanding all Long Covid. I think the scientists recognize that.

The lack of nuance in this debate is harming the patients caught in the middle. Both can trigger the illness. The dismissal of the existence of PASCV is highly damaging to patients- both in short and long term. Listen to patients. Research. Follow the science.

I agree with that take. Conflating it is outrageous and Kennedy is doing it to drive his agenda. However that cannot be used as an excuse to deny the very real experiences of those harmed, and the growing body of research that validates the existence of PASCV.

People were describing similar symptoms before covid. Post “viral” issues have been around (and dismissed) for decades. They can be experienced after any immune stimulus including vaccines. Kennedy is a grifter, but denying PASCV because some people got similar from Covid is not a valid response
