| Some observed effects may be real, but the alleged association isn't real until proven. Simply, too many people have had Covid to be able to squarely blame prior Covid infection for everything weird that's happening to everyone health-wise. Maybe those people would have developed those symptoms anyway. A pandemic broke out and so, like millions of others, they got it, and now their inevitable predicament (those weird symptoms) get blamed on that, which may be wrong. All sorts of people had all sorts of weird health issues; and now all sorts of people with weird health issues also have a Covid-19 history, because it's common to have one. If Covid were a rare disease, it would be different. Say that only 100 people in the United States got Covid-19 in a particular year, and then 79 of them had weird symptoms months and months later. That would strongly indicate there is something there. Look, we all have to die. From now on, whenever someone dies (spontaneously, not accidentally), do we blame it on Covid-19, if they ever had it? A: Did you hear? Bob died last week. Heart attack. Just turned 69. B: Yikes, I just remembered something: didn't he have Covid-19 back in 2021 when he was, what, ... 43? A and B, in unison: OMG, long Covid! B: Caught up with him. A: Got him in the end, wow. |
