As a corollary, does “nocebo” also account for a majority of Long COVID symptoms[1]? Can we be as smugly dismissive of Long COVID patients?

How can you assume _long term_ effects are caused by imagination? Afaik, no/placebo is temporary.

Can my partner nocebo themselves a baseball sized swelling under their arm near the lymph, after the shot?

I'm not a native English speaker but I don't think majority means the same as entirety.
