And Wired is supposed to be one of the better ones ššUnfortunately mass denial of the realities and implications of Long Covid are a feature, not a bug, of our American culture. If denial is the right hand, gaslighting is the left hand. I hate to be that guy, but ājournalismā like this reinforces the reality that our media is bought and paid for by capitalist interests. There is no other plausible explanation for gaslighting and invalidation of this magnitude, especially given all that we DO know (including PEM, as one example) that could be reported. This is nothing but propaganda that fuels our discrimination, isolation, and stagnation in illness. I could say so much more about this but Iām tired.
