What is PACS?
Is the technical term for Long Covid (Post Acute Covid Syndrome)

The vaccine doesn't work?
It only prevents life threatening symptoms during the acute phase. It might reduce the probability of having PACS, but it doesn't lower the effect of PACS if you do get it.

Does it affect me?
It affects everyone. If you had COVID, asymptomatic, mild or strong, part of the population will develop PACS, which can affect any organ.

Even after I'm over Covid?
Yes. Protein remains of the virus can remain in the blood stream for months, and can damage any organ, including the brain.

Like what?
Most frequently memory loss, problems concentrating but it can trigger inflammatory pathways similar to Alzheimer or Parkinson's
