EXCLUSIVE: Doctor slams study claiming Long Covid creates a greater burden of disability than CANCER
A study that seems to suggest long Covid is more debilitating than cancer has been branded ‘irresponsible’.
Like many papers before it, the research published this week in Nature Medicine found that long Covid increases the risk of heart problems, blood clots, diabetes, memory problems, fatigue, and mental health issues.
The academics behind the study then calculated the number of days long Covid patients lived with debilitating symptoms and compared that to the number of days people had cancer and heart disease symptoms on average.
