All the questioning of long COVID I see in this thread is essentially flame bait. People aren’t actually refuting the studies findings or even arguing about the methods. In other words, there’s a lot of unmoderated bad faith denialism occurring in this thread. If that restores your faith in humanity I wonder what made you lose your faith in the first place.

> Just restores my faith in humanity to see people presenting alternative views rather then parroting what authorities and the media are telling us.

It's irrational to judge the wisdom of what's being said based on who is saying it. This type of rhetoric is designed to poison the well rather than encourage critical thinking. "The media" is not a monolith, "the authorities" are not a monolith, and neither are the purveyors of "alternative views" who also exist within those institutions.
