> The vaccine policies are important, but not relevant to her case - she already had Covid, and a vaccine would not help her in any way
There've been reports that people suffering from long-COVID have seen improvements after getting the vaccine.

I don't know why this is being downvoted. I've read it, too.

HN votes by how "truthy" something sounds - things can get really random the further the subject is from software/tech. Confirmation bias is a bitch.

Then she should get the vaccine. In fact, the CDC says she should: "Yes, you should be vaccinated regardless of whether you already had COVID-19."
What additional actions should be taken by the medical system or the political system at this point for a (supposed) disease that has no known treatment or even any understood cause?

Link to an NPR story that reported this https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/03/31/9827994...
The parent post and my response was about "the system" not taking her seriously, about the people where the damage was already done - are there any policy adjustments that would be useful for people like that? For people who now do have these weird, persistent, possibly life-long conditions, is there any better option than "dealing with it"? Denial helps noone, and can be quite harmful.
