#LongCovid

"Reports about the prevalence of long COVID vary widely, but a June 2022 CDC study estimates that as many as 20 million American adults—1 out of 13 people over age 18—have lingering COVID-19 symptoms that impact their lives months after infection."

""It's a mass disabling event," says Alba Azola, MD," "Some of these individuals can't work and they can't be caregivers for children or aging parents, she says. "The impacts are staggering.""

A mass disabling event that almost everyone in society is willingly taking part in and fighting everyone who suggests otherwise.

@BE Health supremacism is very attractive for some people. Fear of death leads some to jump into health supremacism as a way to calm their anxiety related to potential poor health & loss of life. It is easier to dehumanise/blame those ill they deserved their poor health & death, than to be compassionate and understand we could all be in that situation so better give support & solidarity.
Sadly, health supremacism comes easier, which is a very poor coping strategy, onle 1 inch away from eugenics.

That is extremely well said and meshes quite well with what I see. I've tried to say something similar many times over the last couple of years, but that's much better than I achieved.
