Really? I read this thread & saw it's purpose as providing information to people that long COVID is a multi-system chronic disease with a complex aetiology - a message that many scientists & govts have failed to. Please stop minimising. You can critique what you don't agree with. 
And yes, vaccines do help with long COVID as @IanRicksecker acknowledges, but the data are clear that long COVID doesn't disappear with vaccination either. And given many children don't even have the option of being vaccinated, surely risks to them should also be considered.
Snapshotting because I'm blocked. I've found @IanRicksecker very open to engaging with public health scientists to provide a clear and accurate picture for those who want to know more. Rather than dismissing and judging what he's done, perhaps engage with him.
Seriously- criticising people who're trying to put together the huge breadth of evidence on long COVID by simply calling it fearmongering is unacceptable - when your only critique here is that these studies are 'outdated' because they were done pre-vaxx?
Should we throw out everything we've learned about long COVID pre-vax then? The fact that the virus is associated with neurodegeneration, renal, cardiac, vascular dysfunction. No longer relevant because of vaccines? Please inform yourself. Long COVID does happen in the vaccinated
And never forget that the majority of our children are not.
