I'd really like it if reports that things are better for us would stop entirely. They haven't. The science has progressed, but it is being firmly rejected in favor of a traditional belief system. Continuing to misrepresent the facts isn't helping us. Nothing has changed for the patients, and that's the only outcome that counts as far as making progress goes.

Medicine still firmly rejects and mocks chronic illness. No different than 10, 20, 30 years ago. Actually worse in many respects. Despite Long Covid. We need the real truth, not the glossy feel-good version that keeps promising change that never comes.

 

completely agree esp the bit i bolded
