We actually know quite a lot about its long-term impacts through around 9,000 Long Covid studies and nearly 600 registered clinical trials so far. We know it is a thromboembolic vascular disease that is causing long-term, systemic, and often disabling harms across age, health, and vaccine status.

If media quotes far-right orgs and anti-science/anti-vaccine operatives, they have a duty to disclose to the public that that is what they are.

It also quotes the Director of the far-right Manhattan Institute for some weird reason, perhaps to fulfill some kind of ill-advised mandate to represent the far right on everything they have zero legitimacy opining about. MI aligns with core far-right GOP policies, so “conservative” is a misnomer.
