Not the original commenter, but it seems clear that they had symptoms of long covid for >1 year after first catching covid, and those symptoms stopped <9 weeks after getting the first dose of the vaccine.

I don't think it's clear at all, OP made a distinction between some symptoms lasting up to 9 weeks (presumably after covid) vs symptoms from the vaccine lasting 6 weeks

The second comment says

>Then I had a year+ of long covid symptoms.

With that context, I read the first comment as

> In my case, remaining symptoms[of long covid] started disappearing after 2 weeks[after the vaccine]. By week 9[after the vaccine] I could no longer identify a single symptom[of long covid].

> However the vaccine itself had weird and strong side effects on me for a month and a half[= 6 weeks][after the vaccine].
