The study concluded that COVID infection does not correlate with most of the long-COVID symptoms, does it not? It was only the belief of having a COVID infection that correlated with them.
That implies that people only believe that they have long-COVID symptoms, when in fact some other phenomenon is causing them. You're right that the cause may not be psychological however.

- CryptoPunk 5y agoI know, I said as much: >>You're right that the cause may not be psychological however. What I was asking is: does the study not show that symptoms associated with long-COVID are not, in fact, correlated with having had a COVID infection? That they are only correlated with believing one had COVID?
