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?
