Wow! Straw man! I’m worse than Hitler! Blah blah blah.

I'll see your Full Fact, and raise you The Lancet.
Your FF article only claims the numbers are lower than that MP claimed, not that there isn't such a syndrome.
The Lancet Respiratory Medicine article says that there is a post acute Covid syndrome, that it is a concern, and that it seems to be in 10 to 20 % of Covid survivors.

Follow the science.

10-20%?
The margin for error is 200% on the lower estimate? That sounds like numbers being picked out of the air, it does not sound very scientific at all.

That's not an estimate range.
In the article itself, you'll find that 20 % is the number of people with symptoms 5 weeks after recovering from acute covid, and 10 % is the number of people with symptoms 12 weeks after their acute infection.
"Not very scientific at all"? This is the fucking Lancet Respiratory Medicine journal right?
You're telling me to follow the science and you can't be bothered to read the material?
