New York Magazine Article Biased and Riddled with Errors

Today I sent the following email to the Editor of New York Magazine:

As a reader of New York Magazine, I have come to expect your articles to be accurate, well-researched, and fair. Unfortunately your recent piece, “Has Long COVID Always Existed?” by Jeff Wise is none of these things. As someone familiar with the topics covered, I can tell you that the article is misleading, biased, and riddled with errors. Worse, it exacerbates longstanding misconceptions that people with ME/CFS and Long COVID must overcome when seeking effective care, and it risks reviving myths about this condition that I and many others have worked for decades to dispel.
