Interesting. Thank you for that post.
“Projections” come from “models”.
We’re slouching toward Armageddon, one “model” at a time.
And yet, as of today, three years into the "event" ---
( 6,705,769 Global Deaths / 7,944,245,374 Global Population ) x 100 = 0.0844 percent mortality rate.
Sources: https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/ and https://www.census.gov/popclock/world
If the "official" mortality rate is calculated on three years' running total, what would an annualized rate be? Less, to be sure.
The chance of living through Covid and whatever "long Covid" is may be seen as a "long shot." A mere 99.9156 percent survivable.
The CBS article states clearly, "Compared with COVID-19, relatively little is known about long COVID."
Let that sink in. "Relatively little" is known. So analyses and articles aplenty will prop up the narrative for this deadly or debilitating pestilence which is only 99.9156 percent survivable.
Long Covid? Long shot? How mnay shots? Safe and effective but long, longer and longest -- is the marketing.
