Saw this article earlier about long COVID and people trying to bring awareness to it. I thought it died out years ago as COVID fell off the air.
Who reckons it's just laziness combined with psychosomatics?

Chronic cough after any respiratory infection is a possibility.
I've been saying this would be a thing since early 2020, and coulda told ya it would happen in 2013 after any cold or flu.
Yeah it's gunna cause some chronic cough, and some post viral fatigue/post viral syndrome... (under a few names) in some people. This is to be expected! But nobody is asking if it causes it more or less than say, rhinovirus or influenza.
The issue with 'long covid' is you almost never see any research trying to differentiate it from the previously known difficulties that can follow any respiratory infection. That's how you know an article is bollocks, if it doesn't make any mention of those conditions we've known about and been treating for decades.
I had the coof back in 2020, it knocked me on my arse for a couple of days; then other symptoms disappeared in the weeks to follow, I didn't get any of the jabs. Long symptoms aren't completely unheard of, but from something which is equivalent to the flu it just seems odd..
These things do make me wonder if these people caught it then panicked and took the vax, or if they have other issues... I guess we'll have to wait for someone with balls to collate the data on such things and try to build some conclusions from it.
I would get a sinus infection that would lead to bronchitis every spring and fall for about a decade. Even when I didnt have an active infection I suffered from a persistent cough. Since then I have cleaned up my diet and got better mentally. I still get sinus infections but they rarely progress to bronchitis anymore and if I get a cough its tied to something and resolves quickly. I think so much of this long covid stuff is the spike proteins redamaging tissues.
