PVS (Post-Vaccination Syndrome)

Email 11/19/2023

Mr ______,

Here is an interesting study from Yale University that claims to have identified a new syndrome.  The data comes from Yale's LISTEN system.  LISTEN stands for "Listen to Immune, Symptom and Treatment Experiences Now".  It appears to be a self reporting kind of thing for post-covid vaccine symptoms.

A few things that stood out to me:

• median age = 46 years of age (Relatively young)

• median symptom onset time = 3 days (quick onset)

• vaccination to symptom survey completion = 595 days (long duration)

• Participants reported a median of 20 interventions to treat their condition. (Symptoms are persistent and wide ranging)

• The median Euro-QoL visual analogue scale score = 50 (0 is poor quality of life, 100 is excellent quality of life.  Participants don't feel like their quality of life/health is good post vaccination)

• The symptoms seem to be very much like what they call "Long Covid".

Please have a look and see what you think.  I found the charts labeled "figure 2" and "figure 3" very interesting.  Especially the wide range of symptoms.  Exactly what I've been seeing in the field and talking about since 2022.  An army of sick people with new chronic conditions of all sorts.  Systemic inflammation via autoimmune attack.  Super Lupus in a way.
