I'm going to disengage now and I'd like you to know I stopped reading your comment when you led off with a personal anecdote wrapped in two tortillas of snark

"As long as I can find one industry paid scientist that says what I want to hear, the vast majority of science is just cherrypicking"
Look. I picked up a snowball. My personal experience is that you're wrong. Way more rational to believe what I can see, n'est pas?
Except I know of about a 100 cases of Covid from friends family and acquaintances, and many more from second or third hand stories so again unless I'm living among genetically superior ubermen or just people that are very very extremely lucky I think I have a halfway decent sample. If it was THAT bad I think I'd be seeing it a bit more death and long term illness around me. I still heard stories of death and my friends that worked in hospitals told a bunch of horror stories and that's awful but it's also not the apocalypse you're making it out to be. It doesn't have to be either the common cold or the doomsday virus, it's somewhere in between.
The problem with anecdotal evidence is not the sample size. It is the sampling method.
Yes I must be mistaken, everybody around me is secretly suffering from long Covid without telling me anything about it.
