Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Vitamins... b6, b12, C, D, zinc, magnesium, and quercetin. Lots of folks do niacin but I'm kind of afraid of the flushing. I did a therapeutic run of Pepcid for about 30 days but stopped once my stomach felt better. Also doing a probiotic. Daily baby aspirin.

Look for nicotinamide or niacinamide. It's a different form of niacin that doesn't cause flushing.

You take most of the same vitamins I do. My late mother (she was a nurse practitioner) recommended I take a bunch of the B vitamins in their "active" forms due to a gene mutation my family carries that hinders absorption of B vitamins (the MTHFR gene). She was always a big believer in vitamins and nutrition and did a lot of nutrition counseling for her patients. Niacinamide is the active/bioavailable form of niacin. She also told me to take the active forms of B1 (benfotiamine), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxal-5-phosphate or "P5P"), B12 (methylcobalamin), and folate (calcium folinate). She also recommended chelated zinc and the "Ester C" form of vitamin C. I buy all of those off Amazon.

She thought the B vitamin issue might be playing a role in my anxiety as well, and I think she may have been right. I've upped my vitamin D to 4000 IU per day, and there are some studies linking low vitamin D to mood disorders, as well as other stuff.

Here’s a tip from someone who is not a moron (surprise, it’s ya boy meow), but how about you don’t use the term “rival” in the ****ing headline? This isn’t a got dang competition

What an odd thing to object to.

It's been treated as a competition from the start. Reports and press releases from all sorts of different manufacturers (remember UPMC's grandstanding vaccine press conference last march?) and efficacy rates used as a scoreboard. It's why J&J 60-some percent makes it feel like a second-class vaccine while in reality it's more effective than most flu shots and could end the pandemic on its own given appropriate distribution.

My take on it was that the two are generally rivals in the pharmaceutical industry, and they're showing you that they're teaming up to help a united cause. I certainly didn't take it the way you did.

This is pretty interesting:

I have read a ton of this on reddit, anecdotally of course.

There are two schools of thought on Long Covid. One is that there is residual live virus still hiding in your body. Its not a ton, so the immune system does just enough to slow it down and then stops. That's what causes symptom flare ups.

The vaccine may kick the immune system back into full gear to wipe everything out. Like adding some water to a medicine cup to get the stuff that stuck to the cup out.
