Not the original poster but genuinely curious here and I do agree with your long term covid statement. We do not know. But I strongly disagree with you calling the health agencies "most-respected (not-perfect)". Didn't these same health agencies approve opioids saying they weren't dangerous or addictive? Then spend a decade trying to cover it up with the pharma companies? Then they got hired by the same company's whose drugs they approved? Today fentanyl overdoses are the number one cause of deaths for my age group (18-45 https://www.google.com/search?q=fentanyl+overdoses+number+one+killer https://www.google.com/search?q=fentanyl+overdoses+number+on...) in the US. That is a direct result of these pharma companies and health agencies. All it took was a little bit of money and our lives became meaningless. How can I trust any agency that was willing to kill me for a couple bucks? If you are unsure what I am talking about (https://www.google.com/search?q=opioid%20epidemic%20documentary https://www.google.com/search?q=opioid%20epidemic%20document...). IMO HBO's Crime of the century does a good job of laying out just how ridiculous the whole thing is.
