>but aren't the side-effects of covid well established, on average more severe, and much more common? No they are not well COVID in my view. To me the complications that are supposedly attributed to covid are those of respiratory illnesses that have existed long before COVID came on the scene. In fact I have my doubts whether the whole COVID thing is a brand new disease.

In my current view medical science is very primitive, while putting up a front of sophistication and accuracy, while being very crude. And just so that you know that I'm not a perpetual skeptic, I will go along with Einstein's quotes: “One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike -- and yet it is the most precious thing we have.”
