Gonna be real hard to build trust in public health if the media keeps doing stuff like this:

The article on the left above is bunk, and amplifies a false claim from an unpublished non-peer reviewed abstract.

Read this article, which gives a more truthful perspective: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/15/long-covid-symptoms-cdc

‘Alarming’ rise in Americans with long Covid symptoms

CDC data shows nearly 18m people could be living with long Covid even as health agency relaxes isolation recommendations

@luckytran The #ABCAustralia also reported this on national free view where the chief medical officer (sorry wasn’t the health minister as I originally said in this post) from QLD proudly announced that long covid was disproven. The conclusion from the study was based on SMS /txt messages. A study like that would never be peer reviewed according to #NormanSwan. I fully expect #PaulBarry to tackle this on media watch.

It's not even the study, it's how the results have been framed

Generally, the rate of long covid for 1yr+ is reported to be something like 5-10%, or even 3-7%, and now this article says that we shouldn't worry, it's only 16% 🙃
