Scientists are investigating a new condition believed to be caused by the Covid-19 vaccine, taking a page from the ‘Long Covid’ handbook and dubbing the name ‘Long Vax.’
Experts from Harvard and Yale are conducting research on a condition believed to have resulted from Covid vaccination, manifesting as a range of debilitating symptoms that persist for months.
According to Science.com, there have been rare cases of abnormal blood clotting and heart inflammation with further symptoms resembling Long Covid. Doctors and scientists are working to better understand how to treat symptoms.

“You see one or two patients and you wonder if it’s a coincidence,” says Anne Louise Oaklander, a neurologist and researcher at Harvard Medical School. “But by the time you’ve seen 10, 20,” she continues, trailing off. “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.”
Though numerous reports show severe reactions from the Covid-19 vaccine, mainstream media sources and “medical professionals” continue to stand by the vaccine, claiming that there are rare to no connections between the vaccine and cardiovascular or neurological conditions.
Some scientists, however, are beginning to investigate these consistent cases. Harlan Krumholz, a cardiologist at Yale University, initially hesitated to “dive in” to further research because of an “antivaccine movement.” However, as postvaccination patients began coming in – roughly 2,000 people – they were added to a new study called LISTEN.
“I’m persuaded that there’s something going on” with these side effects, Krumholz says. “It’s my obligation, if I truly am a scientist, to have an open mind and learn if there’s something that can be done.”
Krumholz continues to stand by the Covid vaccine having saved millions of lives, according to The Daily Mail.
While scientists remain cautious about drawing firm conclusions without comprehensive data, they believe it is “crucial to thoroughly investigate and address potential side effects to ensure the safety and efficacy of Covid vaccines.”
