Given the socio-political context, I don't think she did nearly enough to specify what long-COVID is and to provide evidence that differentiates it from generally diffuse claims of illness. Her whole analysis rests on that issue, yet she didn't establish it.
Why must she growl the last two syllables of every clause? Just speak.
