Both the vaccine and the infection are competing biologies ( are they complimentary too ?) that came together to occupy our bodies in early 2021 when the vaccines were rolled. In hindsight, we know from published research today that the m-RNA vaccines can transmit their spikes from the vaccinated to others, including unvaccinated. So, for practical biological purposes, there is no cohort in the population called unvaccinated since 2021. So, strictly, long Covid ( the term relating to pure infection) pertains to only those post infection presentations experienced by some people in 2020, only 2020. Though it began in early 2021, the vaccine spike infiltration in the public must have covered the whole world through 2021, 2022 and 2023. So, the world today carries a mixed heritage of both post infection and post vaccination. It is not correct to call it by a single name like LC or LV. The composite condition today is a pathology, whether disease or not. Must be identified separately by a new name. But this will share features with many other common pathologies. This is a question to be figured out by doctors and researchers.
The term long covid is itself contributing to disbelief in the problem. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in my early fifties, and I am looking forward to my condition (which is very real!) having a better name. The term ‘long covid’ like long cold or long flu sounds to vague causing disbelief in the condition. I hope research into these conditions shows some proof of the suffering of these people.
Dr John Campbell irecentlly introduced a recent paper that concluded that Long Covid is indestinguishable to other post viral fatigue syndromes which suggests that it is viruses generally that can produce this effect rather than something specific to Covid infection. There is a hypothesis also, that with any infection, the body uses up stores of vitamin D to fight the infection leaving the body with very low levels of vitamin D which could exacerbate inflammation and symptoms, subject to the person being low in vitamin D in the first place.

Hi Philip,
Dr John Campbell irecentlly introduced a recent paper that concluded that Long Covid is indestinguishable to other post viral fatigue syndromes which suggests that it is viruses generally that can produce this effect rather than something specific to Covid infection. There is a hypothesis also, that with any infection, the body uses up stores of vitamin D to fight the infection leaving the body with very low levels of vitamin D which could exacerbate inflammation and symptoms, subject to the person being low in vitamin D in the first place.
