This is something that low grade terrifies me. The GOP spread the anti-vax propaganda and so the conservatives got more covid than dems, and the long haul symptoms mess with your brain, so a large % of those right-wingers are sporting a crazy booster making them more angry and prone to violence.

We need to be careful to not associate covid long haulers with those people. A lot of long haulers had breakthrough infections. A lot of long haulers (like me) didn’t have the chance to get vaccinated before being infected.

Any data to support such a claim?

What claim? Conservative regions got higher case numbers due to resistance to lockdowns, masking, social distancing, and vaccine hesitancy. That survey absolutely exists for you to find. Long covid causes mental health issues in many people. That's the article you're replying about.

There's just too many variables to say so definitively that "more conservatives didn't get shots so more conservatives are going to suffer mental health from covid".

Ehh, guess this isn't the place to question such a narrative. Carry on
