This "study" is dangerous and misleading. Here's why: They compared people who tested positive for COVID early in the pandemic (2020–21) with people who tested negative, then followed both groups for two years. The problem: the people who tested negative didn't stay uninfected. Follow-up ran through Delta and Omicron. The authors themselves report 20% of controls had a positive PCR within two years, and that only counts recorded tests. By Feb 2022, CDC blood surveys estimated ~58% of Americans had been infected. So by year two, they're comparing people infected early with people infected later. Of course the difference shrinks toward zero. That's control group catching up, not long COVID resolving. The obvious check is to compare against similar people in the years before the pandemic. They had the data: everyone in the study needed claims from 2019, and they used four years of prior medical history. They didn't run it. Not sure if this guy is just really stupid, or actively evil.
