    The covids have unexpected health consequences that are way beyond the scope of the flu, including heart conditions, and chronic respiratory problems.

      Yeah, long COVID seems to hit people randomly, and it seems even vaccination status doesn’t make a huge difference.

      This seems to be mostly debunked, at least regarding to heart conditions:

      https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/11/8/2219

      Retrospective cohort study of 196,992 adults after COVID-19 infection in Clalit Health Services members in Israel between March 2020 and January 2021.

      Our data suggest that there is no increase in the incidence of myocarditis and pericarditis in COVID-19 recovered patients compared to uninfected matched controls. Further longer-term studies will be needed to estimate the incidence of pericarditis and myocarditis in patients diagnosed with COVID-19.
