If there was any doubt the academic research enterprise is completely broken, we have an absolute train wreck of a study in one of the many specialty journals of the Journal of the American Medical Association — JAMA Health. I had no idea the journal even existed until today, but I now know to approach the words printed in this journal to the words printed in supermarket tabloids. You should too!
I suspect that long covid sufferers are comprised of several groups: 1) hypochondria following years of panic-mongering psychological manipulation (h/t Matt Hancock), 2) mitochondrial dysfunction, 3) persistent, low-grade spike toxins, 4) persistent vit D deficiency which may be associated with liver damage, 5) persistent low-grade anemia, and 6) overlapped groups.
The authors write, "The PCC cohort was drawn from an initial pool of 249 013 individuals 18 years and older who were diagnosed with COVID-19 between April 1, 2020, and July 31, 2020", and "A third limitation lies in the generalizability of findings, given that the outcomes are for individuals first experiencing COVID-19 in 2020. The time period for identification of members in the study predates the availability of vaccines. Following the availability of vaccines, individuals may have had different health care utilization patterns, due to potential mitigating effects of vaccines on PCC."
This tells you all you need to know about how these authors have their heads in the sand. There is no discussion of how the time period for *12 month follow up* includes the genetic mRNA vaccines availability. There is also no discussion of looking at the data to see if the groups got vaccinated during the 12 month follow up. And, the assumption that the mRNA vaccines would or could have had a mitigating effect on long COVID symptoms is preposterous at this point; there is no acknowledgement that there ever may have been a harm associated with the experimental genetic "vaccines."
By the way, assume that I find every article you write to be of value unless I say otherwise. If you see any comments from me, consider an implicit attaboy.
"...much of academic medicine has turned into plumbing large datasets to fabricate clickbait conclusions to serve some ideological purpose."
ideological, financial, political, career enhancement, personal, religious, philosophical -- all kinds of purposes are available for these sorts of DB query tasks. big data is great!

Amen.
