You are worried that I might be suggesting some form of conspiracy, but these worries are all in your head.
There is uncertainty about the effects post acquiring a covid flu. If there weren't, the article wouldn't mention the efforts in trying to figure out what these symptoms and causes are. I'm sure they are also "asking questions".
Instead of criticizing me, perhaps you could try to put your guard down and try to investigate if other more reputable sources asked the same questions as I did:

I haven't read those papers, and I'm not qualified to discuss them in depth. However, they indicate that my assessment of the situation is not as outlandish as you suggest.
Because you communicate them. Combining unrelated information without any reasoning, backup, or even a link is a bizarre style. You go from wars, AI and lack of information about long covid to ignoring all physical markers.
And that doesn't take away that you argue in the same style as the people who argue that illnesses can be overcome mentally. Cancer originates between your ears; if you get it, it's your fault. Suggesting long covid is the same, places you square in that group.

Fortunately, I am qualified for psych research, and if you would just open them, you'd see that those papers do not suggest a psychological cause for long covid. People are anxious, health staff is under pressure, those with long covid need psychological support, because it's hard to cope with, there's neurological damage, and there's some speculation about long-term effects on the population. There are obviously way too many papers to even scan.
You also did a wrong search, because "effects" are not what you're suggesting.
I estabilished a loose correlation that does not imply cause (they all happened roughly at the same time).
It seems you assumed what I was thinking by the writing style. A common mistake.
> Fortunately, I am qualified for psych research
Congratulations.
> People are anxious, health staff is under pressure, those with long covid need psychological support
Can you elaborate on the reasons why people are anxious and health staff is under pressure? I agree with it, but I want to understand why you think that is.
