  The comment by Stadnik [arXiv:2111.14351v1] claims that "back-action", i.e.
interaction of exotic low-mass fields (ELF) with ordinary matter, "prevents the
multi-messenger astronomy on human timescales." We strongly disagree with this
blanket claim. This is {\em not a general conclusion}, as Stadnik's statement
entirely relies on a specific sign of the ELF-matter interaction. As we
demonstrate, there are coupling constant ranges when, in fact, the screening
effects are irrelevant. In addition, the delay between the arrival of the ELF
and gravitational wave bursts is reduced by the ELF-ordinary matter
interaction, improving the discovery reach of our proposed novel, exotic
physics, modality in multi-messenger astronomy.
