Throwing out this random data point: I know several people who I believe have some sort of what could be called "long covid". Here's the weird thing though: all these people are some level of covid denier/vax skeptic type person. They themselves don't believe they have long covid (and in some cases don't even believe they had covid). But all of them conform to this pattern (as observed by me): 1. They had covid, 2. Immediately after they developed some weird long term symptoms that no doctor can explain.

Obviously there's some probability this is all coincidence but it does seem strange, especially considering the predisposition for these people to not think their issues were triggered by covid infection.
