All this scary long covid stuff seems to directly contradict the current policies of many institutions, such as RTO, removal of mask mandates, giving up on enforcing the 3rd booster, etc. It would be extremely stupid to relax pandemic restrictions if this was a serious threat. Therefore, I have to believe stuff like this is fake news, or at the very least some type of clickbait based on questionable studies. I also had omicron and had a mild fever for 1 day and that's it, no "long covid" from me, so yeah.
