The known effects of LC are horrendous: permanent damage to the brain, heart, lung, kidneys, liver, and pancreas.

  > The known effects of LC are horrendous: permanent damage to the brain, heart, lung, kidneys, liver, and pancreas. None of these are "known effects". If you count "things that have happened to someone after contracting SARS-CoV2" as "long covid", then an entire universe of medical maladies is included in the set that may or may not be causally related. There are specific examples of patients with severe cases of SARS-CoV2 infection who have had damage to particular organs. However, it is misleading to draw a connection from these to the broader phenomenon of "long covid", which is neither well-characterized, nor necessarily related to these acute situations. The ambiguity in terminology here is being used to loop in everything from minor headaches to lung damage due to mechanical ventilation.

    Look at the cadaver studies.

      Cadavers from Covid 19 have (by definition) not had very much time to recover from long covid.

        Strawman. That's not the point. The point is the permanent damage SARS-CoV-2 has on numerous organ systems. People also survive COVID-19 illness and die from other things.

          If you pick a pile of dead bodies and look for things that killed them, you will find things.
