Given that this constellation of symptoms existed as "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" for decades before 2020, don't we need a more convincing reason to attribute it to a disease that has existed only since September 2019?

CFS sure.
Also...a vitamin B12 deficiency, a spectrum of autoimmune diseases, alcohol withdrawal, generalized anxiety disorder, lime disease, post treatment lime disease syndrome, various nerve disorders, early onset of MS (which is of course an autoimmune disease), stress, emotional trauma, an undetected previous stroke, post traumatic stress disorder, burnout...
..and a serious bout of COVID with say hospitalization might be the tipping point for many of the above conditions.
At least that was it for me. This was the year before Covid and the right pro-biotics plus a ~1 year long Keto diet got me out of that. I still take the pro biotics and eat differently, though no longer Keto. Never felt better.
How long did you try it out for? I do remember the first ~two weeks of the pro biotic I felt really bad. After that it got better and better and w/ Keto I stopped feeling hungry. There wasn't much of the craving sugar after a little while and even just some regular bread tasted 'sweet' when I finally had it again. Might be the combination of the two that helped w/ all of this.
feeling better today but am still weak and "dopey" in the brain. and my back still aches.
In theory this will all go away fairly quickly, but if I had not gotten covid vaccines and had instead gotten covid I feel this might have been a lot worse.
