Unfortunately, the answer is no. We are not sure what factors are involved in some people who have prolonged symptoms of coronavirus infection.

Now that more than 50 million people have received at least one dose of a vaccine in the United States,

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published data that were collected in the V-safe monitoring system and the Vaccine Adverse Event Notification System (VAERS).

From December 14th to January. 13, more than 13 million doses of vaccine have been administered. During that time, there were 518 serious events that received the vaccine that were not residents of long-term care facilities. Of these 518 people, 35 deaths occurred – 16 after the Pfizer vaccine and 19 after the Moderna vaccine.

A review of 16 of the reported deaths indicated underlying heart disease, cancer, stroke, probably pulmonary embolism and fragile health as the cause of death. The remaining 19 are still being investigated.

However, monitoring systems cannot identify a cause and effect relationship without investigation, but there is still a very small number of deaths among the millions of doses of vaccines administered, around 0.00003%.

Double masking reduces the amount of respiratory droplets that are inhaled and exhaled. If someone is fully vaccinated, the chances of being infected or spreading the virus asymptomatically are drastically reduced.

At that point, it becomes a matter of personal values.
