    This has basically nothing to say about epistemology besides “be open minded.” I wouldn’t recommend reading it.

    Yes, theories can’t be proven wrong or right, but philosophers have said a lot about truth that can point us in the right direction. The author seems frustrated about the lack of knowledge about long Covid. I wish this frustration were aimed at academic publishing, which seems to continuously generate nonsense and ignore epistemology.
