16. I think the notion that people are recovering from ME/CFS-like Long Covid

is fanciful and will prove to be false. And very costly to society, while individual ruining lives.

I believe the CDC has a problem of poorly designated cohorts and is lumping everyone who has lingering illness after getting Covid as a monolithic group.

People with ME/CFS never recover. I suspect the same will be true of those people with Long Covid who have all the hallmarks of ME/CFS, especially PEM (post-exertional malaise).

Long Covid (ME/CFS) is happening after "mild" bouts of Covid.

I think public health is making a huge mistake with the vaccinate but otherwise let it rip strategy.
