I don't know what sea lioning means. I haven't looked. My skepticism is based on the complexity of the symptoms and other mass hysteria events in history. I am not arguing anything. I'm genuinely interested in hard science on this and thought someone could point me to compelling information.
Sealioning is pretty much what you did. It's a request that people provide the research evidence for a well-established phenomenon, instead of just looking for it. This is different from asking for people to provide the evidence base for assertions when there really isn't any.
I agree that long Covid is well established as a phenomenon. I follow hard science daily and have never seen a study showing the cause of that phenomenon was Covid 19. So I asked for that. I have now looked at the cdc website research links on this and they don’t have any either I could find.
So I’ve looked. I am simply asking for a couple of links of science that you found compelling. It is weird everyone is reacting emotionally to a simple and normal scientific request.
That emotion is generally disdain for people who ask for evidence from people online when a quick search on Google scholar or even just Google would produce 1000s of research papers. Why is the cdc your go to?
I don’t have access to the article. I then just went to the cdc website and looked at the research on it. Not one study was about causation in the abstracts. Just correlations. So I ask again. I looked. Where is the study that shows definitively COVID 19 causes long COVID. I genuinely would read.
This study found that people infected with COVID were about 5 times as likely to develop ME/CFS, one form of long COVID, compared to those who were not infected.
Also found prevalence of about 4.5% of people infected had ME/CFS, and 39.8% were "ME/CFS-like" (1+ symptom of ME/CFS criteria).
