There is clear linkage between covid and gall stone formation. Don't doubt it. There are 3 types of gall stones. 1. Cholesterol stones : usually due to excessive cholesterol or insufficient bile acids which in turn can be caused by numerous factors. 2. Pigment stones : usually due to blood related disorders like hemolysis. 3. Pigment stones : commonly caused after inflections in gall bladder or bile tract.
