As follows, every once in a blue moon, the immune system might respond wrongly to the Covid-19 vaccine, which I’ll explore in this article.

An obscure post-vaccine chronic condition similar to long-Covid

In an interview back in June 2021, Bruce Patterson, MD, a pathologist who has been working on long-Covid treatment, informed that he had seen 100–200 patients who developed symptomatic and immune profile similarities to long-Covid patients at 3–4 months after Covid-19 vaccination. Dr…
