This is NOT based on controlled studies:
>>Newly available data from the Household Pulse Survey—an experimental Census Bureau product launched at the start of the pandemic—provide the first large-scale, population-level detail on the prevalence of long COVID.2 Starting with the survey's June 2022 wave, respondents who report having had a diagnosed case of COVID are asked,
>>"Did you have any symptoms lasting 3 months or longer that you did not have prior to having coronavirus or COVID-19?"
We have no idea if it was COVID that was responsible for these symptoms (the most common of which is anxiety) or a response to COVID, like stress, or two weeks isolation after diagnosis, or the pandemic-related restrictions on social interaction.
The best evidence available suggests most cases of "long COVID" are misattribution:
