> him and his family will not be vaccinated anytime within this decade.

because of the nanoparticle adjuvant that enacpsulates the subunit? yeah that's been on the top of my mind too, but covaxin is a traditional inactivated virus and it confers 70+% efficacy. my question is, if a vaccine that is the same genetic material (maybe a little less, but not heavily modified like mrna or run through the moth/tree approach like novavax) then why are we ignoring those who were actually infected?

food for thought: long covid is H O R R I B L E, and that should be everyones reason to take a vaccine.. but if you don't want to, just be prepared to sit on the sidelines for a year or maybe more. once the pandemic, as defined by the government, ends then you are on your own. there is already less patience for those who need to take extended time from work for a covid positive result



Long covid is highly debated as the evidence for such a disease is currently very weak, but we will see it crystallize in the next few years I suppose. Many in the health field see it as another psychologically-induced disease. Who knows? Let us not forget that every single viral infection that attacks the body, is likely to leave at least some long term damage or change (no matter how slight), and certainly the unlucky few have severe long term damage even from the flu.
