I just saw this and he doesn't say that. He says that he was drinking with Woody Harrelson, had to be helped into his suite by a bodyguard and "I woke with a monster hangover" when he first noticed the auto-animated finger.

Michael J. Fox himself throws some cold water over this to avoid over-extrapolating:
"Believe it or not, from a scientific point of view, that's not significant."[4] Donald Calne, a Vancouver neurologist, said the incidence of Parkinson's in society is about 1 in 300, but that four of the 125 people on the Vancouver set of Leo and Me developed the disease. Calne said, "It could be coincidence. But it's intriguing, it might be something they were exposed to."
Michael J Fox who famously has Parkinson's mentioned being sick in his documentary "Still" while filming "Leo and Me" where other crew members also have Parkinsons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_and_Me
Many people who are suffering with Long Covid CFS are more obvious though. The significant event from their pre/post covid life was a covid infection.
It is beyond me how people can deny post viral syndromes. Just about every major virus has documented literature of people suffering. Long covid is putting a flashlight on a real problem. For those more interested in the journey, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYNMzaZk_iU for a great overview.
... because I was just reading about Michael J. Fox's Parkinson's disease (because of his recent movie "Still") and apparently he and two other people who worked in his earliest TV show (where he was a secondary character) got early onset Parkinson's, and he claims this is a mere coincidence, not enough to consider this a relevant "cluster" of Parkinson's.
In both cases it's three people who worked closely together catching a relatively rare disease. I wonder if it's relevant for Tarkovsky, given that Michael J. Fox thinks it wasn't relevant for him...

Isn't it pretty well-known that many diseases/disorders are likely from post-viral infection?
Howard Bloom who famously had CFS for decades talked about how he had a bad flu that never got better and his long recovery from it.
