Children, healthy people, athletes and such have been hit hard as well, some of every group have died. It's not enough to be healthy, though much better probability. Some get hit with autoimmune disorder / long covid. Immune system can become "too good" too.
Not all: people at risk (older people, people with auto-immune disease and people with existing conditions), just not healthy, active, young people.
> Demonstrated long-term health problems vs potential ones?
The demonstrated effects you are referring to only affect a minuscule portion of people who get COVID. So it's not exactly demonstrated vs potential. One could also point to the minority of vaccinated people who got ill or died and call that demonstrated.
> It isn't. There's not really a nicer way to phrase it. Your sources are questionable, you should fact check them better, you should do your own research. The papers are free to read, there's no excuse. You're Dunning-Kruger-ing this. Get your shit together.
If anything, you're the one who's overly confident of their knowledge here.
Why didn't you quote some percentages on the risk of getting long COVID? Right, because there are none. Because we don't know what we don't know, just as much as on your side of the argument as on mine. The only difference is: you think what you say is the gospel.
