The intense scientific effort that long COVID sparked has resulted in more than 24,000 scientific publications, making it the most researched health condition in any four years of recorded human history.

Long COVID is a term that describes the constellation of long-term health effects caused by infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. These range from persistent respiratory symptoms, such as shortness of breath, to debilitating fatigue or brain fog that limits people’s ability to work, and conditions such as heart failure and diabetes, which are known to last a lifetime.

      And just so no one thinks the vaccines are causing it based on your comment alone,

      7.7 percent among unvaccinated adults

        The idiots don’t understand this. I know one that will go apoplectic at a singular case of something bad happening to a vaccinated person (regardless of whether it was due to the vaccine itself, covid, or completely unrelated) and cry about how bad they are. I’ve shown him numbers from the very same article or study he’s trying to cite and he ignored it.

      I’m vaccinated plus three boosters, and I’m struggling with it now after COVID last fall. Sucks to be in that lucky 3.5%.
