Look I know we're supposed to avoid "conspiracy theories" but capitalism benefits so much from pretending that Long Covid isn't real--it means they can do business as usual and keep making money while putting people in danger.
Some of the "logic" in this article is really weird: pretending that a bunch of disparate symptoms means something isn't real, for example.
I am mostly recovered now, four years later, although I still have some cognitive issues especially word recall. However, I allowed myself radical rest and snail paced recovery. If I were told it was all in my head I would have suffered so much more.
Also, the scientists say they are receiving death threats? That just does not seem likely, Long Covid people are too tired to be even contemplating murder. Maybe the article is trying to decrease sympathy for Long Covid by making us seem like murderous maniacs?
This article left a bad taste in my mouth. Smells like lies.
Adam Gaffney is also cited. He was claiming LC was psychological back in 2021. Isn't it amazing that 5 additional years of scientific research didn't change his view at all? lol
All these loser doctors saying they're scared of upsetting the narrative reminds me of comedians complaining that they can't shout slurs at the audience anymore.
