Not at all. It says that having the vaccine does not correlate with a reduced risk of depression and anxiety.

I'm not good at reading studies, but I think this only includes people who got covid, and so there may be noise from non-covid caused symptoms?

i mean, i was of course being a bit sarcastic, i have little doubt that is not a real pharmacological thing. either some weird noise (95% is after all only 95%) or maybe simply psychology (kind of sucks double to get covid when you're properly vaccinated?)

Due to Poe's law, I want to make it clear that I do not doubt that:

- long covid exists
- long covid may look different between vaccinated and unvaccinated populations
- this is a health catastrophe that we don't fully understand

i didn't read the study, but these numbers are for when you catch covid and have symptoms, right? so my dumb question is: if you are vaccinated and don't catch covid or catch it asymptomatically, those outcomes do not apply, right?

i dont like the dropping of precautions and masking wholesale either.
but my dude, the chances are that if the overwhelming majority of people is aok with the delusion that "covid is over" then i feel like remaining truly isolated is also going to do a number on your mental health

the best individual strategy that is not micromanaging your entire existence around avoiding covid, is probably getting a wfh gig and moving away from big crowded cities

it sucks rear end, but individual struggles matter gently caress all when a problem should be solved by collective action. see also: climate change

You can't categorically say that they "do not apply" in the case of catching it asymptomatically.

It's more like "nobody has any idea whether or not they apply".

yeah i guess what i want to know is what's the overall % of getting "long covid" if you are vaccinated

and i feel like that percentage is ways from being 95%. for example, if your chances of getting covid while vaccinated are 5%, and the chances of long covid are 5%, and long covid has a 95% chance of a bad effect on you, then the math works out to 0.05*0.05*0.95=0.002357% which is not that big and scary anymore.

of course all of this scales to quite real numbers with billions of people being infected, but it would be nice to have those general rough estimations instead of just pointing at a 95% value

oh wait the study was made during delta variant when the 3rd booster shots were not a thing yet. i am suddenly not really sure how this applies to the current situation anymore

partially because nobody knows how many times you'll have covid and the effects can be cumulative

i tried the half-mask respirator for a while but the rubber made my nose/face break out in zits when i did a couple of nine-hour stints in it, and it kept accumulating puddles of water from my breath. the harley n95s are legit easier and more comfortable.
