I do see a difference here. The difference being that the vaccines have not been tested, and it is quite common for untested medications to cause horrific side effects, so tracking what's happening here with them is important, since there is an unfortunately high likelihood they'll blow up in our faces causing major health problems.
Long Covid though strikes me as odd. Presumably, if this is a thing, then it happens with other respiratory viral infections as well, since no one has given me any reason to think Covid is utterly unique and unprecedented; but I've never heard of illnesses like this being attributed to "Long Flu" or anything like that.
So I'm sceptical of the entire framework which says these are caused by Covid, since I'm unaware of any other respiratory virus which routinely causes extremely long lasting illnesses of the "Long Covid" form.
I'm also not saying it doesn't exist; what I am saying is that I'm sceptical it's as widespread as a lot of people seem to think it is.
