people who think long covid is psychosocial / psychosomatic have such a grave misunderstanding of post-acute sequelae. my long covid was visible, measurable lung and blood vessel damage. you think i anxietied my way into that, and meditated my way out of it? fucking no lol
As a neurologist, it is now patently clear to me that the vast majority of people on the planet are suffering from neuroinflammation or brain damage (likely both)
The way people speak & behave has changed. Markedly so.
Whether irl, or via messaging/social media. It’s noticeable
It's because everyone is in denial of the ongoing nature of it + also lies a lot about how they experienced the early days of the pandemic. You cannot reckon with reality while refusing to engage with it and rewriting history, you just can't.
The Covid cautious might be a small minority but so many failing workplaces are being held together by those same few. It’s all hanging by a thread, and that thread is comprised of the small fraction of the population sensible enough to not catch a brain damaging virus repeatedly

@SoundDobad I know this may sound petty, but I can’t stand it when people put photoshop a meth pipe in my mouth. A crack pipe doesn’t have that little bowl at the end. This is why we can’t trust AI. Please make the appropriate edit. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
I really can’t even start to comprehend how everyone is driving now without assuming that Covid caused mass brain damage on an unprecedented scale and nobody wants to admit that our brains are all scrambled.
