Because the poster said that he had covid 3 times despite the shot.

It's not a prophylactic, but it can significantly reduce severity of symptoms as well as the chances of getting long COVID.

> but it can significantly reduce severity

Only for people at risk. For randos in good health it does not change anything.

Why do you not think that? The vaccine produces the spike protein. The spike protein causes heart damage. The vaccine spike proteins may not circulate as freely or in as large of numbers as from the virus in most cases.

I was under the impression that viruses cause damage in other ways from directly destroying cells or from inflammation from an immune response.

Sure, but what I'm saying is analogous to something like, "this person has fist-shaped bruises, they must have been attacked by a human or something pretending to be a human" and you're saying "but I was under the impression that humans cause damage by killing people."

The spike protein is part of the virus. The spike protein is the part of the virus that fuses the virus membrane to a cell membrane. The spike protein may cause heart damage via inflammation.

I did some googling because I was bored and while you're technically correct you're deconstructing a complex topic down to the bare basics.

Anyone who suffers from what? Why is St John’s Wort good for it? I will never watch this type of video, but it sure does sounds like whatever affected @physicsgirl was awfully serious if it left her non-ambulatory for multiple years. It sounds like maybe you’ve had a positive experience that you might be willing to elaborate on?

I didn't word it right. It should have been something like: "Add it to your list and research it if you're out of options". It helped me with some weird condition years ago which could have been depression but it had zero symptoms other than severe chronic fatigue, so maybe it wasn't.

I have to thank you. I did as you suggested, for concerns similar to those you described, and the difference has been night and day.

I went into it skeptical, and your recommendation has been super helpful already. I’m very grateful.
