The pandemic started two years ago. If there are no statistics about long term effects by now, they cant be that significant. Its more likely that the media makes dramatic stories based on few extreme cases.

There are studies about people with longer lasting effects after an Covid-19 infection, but it is unclear yet how long they will persist and with overloaded hospitals and doctors it is not really a priority to do lengthy clinical studies about that right now.
