If you think "long covid isn't real" and "long covid doesn't exist" mean the same thing as "long covid may be pretty similar to other post-viral conditions" then you probably shouldn't be sharing your opinions on covid on public platforms, IMO.
@3TomatoesShort though I've seen the latter used to lift up and include folks with mecfs and other chronic conditions, I've also seen it used shove down and marginalize folks with long covid. It's especially bad when professionals and so-called experts are the ones doing the shoving 😞
@trendless
Oh yeah it's absolutely being used to minimise the conditions and further gaslight patients. Off the top of my head, the ONLY journalist to go 'wow, this is really shining a light on how badly we've neglected post-viral conditions' is Ed Yong. Where the fuck are the rest of the good journalists?? I've mostly given up on there being good doctors or politicians.
