I do wonder what the real rate of Long Covid is? It’d be incredibly useful to know but the Covidians have distorted the narrative and data so much that we’ll probably never be able to recover any truth from it.

Their definition of Long Covid is that someone had a slight cough three months after having Covid. This, however, obscures more than it reveals. Given the prevalence of “Long Flu” and similar, I’d guess the real rate of long Covid is probably 0.5% or so. That’s still a lot of people, to be sure, but nowhere near the 20% claimed by the Covidians. (And yes, I understand that “influenza” and “Covid-19” are not the same. The influenza virus isn’t even a coronavirus, yada yada.)

The Covidians’ weird ascetic nonsense actually hurt their cause and those with Long Covid. That’s quite typical of religious movements, though.
