And the one in the BMJ from 2023 that someone else linked.
There's also an increasing scientific understanding of what causes long COVID (and again this article mentions how vaccination reduces the risk):

Nothing. They won't look at it. Or they'll choose to not believe it.
Seems you were right. Their curiosity for data evaporated as soon as people gave them all the data they needed.
Well of course they do. It's not data that reinforces their mistaken beliefs!
