They needed a name for all the effects of the shots. Normally I'd say "side effects", but can you really call them that, if they're the only effects they had?
I'm as anti-vax as they come, but I think at least a decent chunk of long covid is simply placebo created by fear mongering from having covid. My mother didn't get the vax but had "long covid" for a couple months.

For real. And if you ever try to talk sense into a cult member you end up falling into that meme of patrick starr and his wallet:
"So we agree that the shots never stopped you from getting infected?"
"Yup."
"And we agree that the shots never stopped transmission in a meaningful way?"
"Yup."
"And we agree that governments pushed the shots under the pretense the shots would prevent infection and stop transmission?"
"Yup."
"And we agree that even if you were up to date on your shots you could still get sick and die?"
"Yup."
"So all the mandates were completely pointless and the shots themselves were worthless at best."
"Well actually the shots were very valuable in reducing the severity of illness. I am so glad we have them and fuck dirty antivaxxers."
Every. Single. Time.
