The need of all those people who have suffered health damage from the experimental Covid vaccines is great. While people with so-called “Long Covid” or “Post Covid” complaints are repeatedly highlighted by politicians as a group of patients who need special support, those who have been vaccinated are often left in the lurch. In fact, on the website of the post-Covid consultation hours at the University Hospital in Cologne, there is even an explicit note that those affected by “post-vacc” symptoms cannot be treated here due to resource constraints. A doctor expresses her horror.
A special consultation hour was set up at the Cologne University Hospital for patients with “post-Covid” syndrome. The website describes the background:
After recovering from an infection with SARS-CoV-2, there are patients who suffer from symptoms over a long period of time. We would like to better understand the clinical picture of the post-COVID syndrome (PCS) and have therefore set up a special consultation hour. In addition, researchers at our university hospital are investigating the immune response directed against SARS-CoV-2 in various studies. In this way, the diagnosis and therapy of PCS should be sustainably improved.
In fact, the consultation hour seems to be overflowing – a freeze on admissions has already been imposed “due to capacity reasons”. It is piquant, however, that it is considered necessary to explicitly exclude people with health impairments from the consultation hours after the corona vaccination. How to read on the website:
Post Vacc Syndrome: Patients with symptoms that occurred after a vaccination cannot be treated in our outpatient clinic due to the lack of resources.
The question arises to what extent, in view of the high vaccination rate in the population, “Post Covid” and “Post Vacc” should be differentiated at all – regardless of the main trigger of the symptoms, every patient is certainly entitled to support. However, the note on the university clinic’s website agrees with a response from the Berlin Senate, which stated that the Charité post-Covid outpatient clinics would not open for post-vac patients either for reasons of capacity. Special support for vaccination victims was rejected.
A doctor expressed her horror at these conditions to the Neue-Medien-Portal:
Ladies and Gentlemen
The following information can actually be found on the website of the University Hospital of Cologne. I couldn’t believe the message shared on Telegram in a group of XXX, despite the screenshot, so I checked. I am also sending you the link to the page below.
“Please note: Due to exhausted capacities, unfortunately no further patients with suspected post-COVID syndrome can be admitted at the moment. We are trying to find a timely solution that meets the great medical need. Please check our website regularly to see if there are any changes. Post Vacc Syndrome: Patients with symptoms that occurred after a vaccination are not treated in our outpatient clinic.”

For me as a doctor, this is not only an additional mockery of the injured, who often suffer massively, in my opinion it borders on the failure to provide assistance. I would also be very interested to know how colleagues are absolutely certain in so many cases that it is a question of post-Covid syndrome. How do you want to define that so precisely in the case of multiple injections?
Your new network of therapists is all the more important. I think it’s great and extremely important that you set it up and are now expanding it. I wish you and everyone involved every success!
Thank you very much for your time and I send warm regards,
