> we have real data showing that there are long term effects from getting full blown COVID.

As in, 90% (probably more because asymptomatic people are never tested) of people actually have no symptoms at all and seem to go along fine with it? Or are you talking about something else?

Study suggests the "90% who are fine" may not all be fine.

Have they established with certainty that in the control group there were no-one with COVID19 infection in the first place?

Having a few false negatives in the control group shouldn't really matter since that would only make the groups more similar and hide any differences that exist rather than hallucinating ones that don't.
