Summary
Netta Wang's recovery followed her second Moderna vaccine dose in March, combined with doctor-recommended exercise such as bike riding to gradually rebuild her strength. She had been sick with Long COVID since August 2020 and was initially nervous to exercise for fear of triggering a typical post-exertional relapse. Her strength slowly returned to the point of being about "95% recovered," and she was able to ride a bike without relapsing, though she says she isn't sure whether to credit the vaccine, the physical activity, or chance. The article describes steady, sustained improvement with no mention of the gains fading.
