    Well, at least it really is BOOM time for the business of rehabilitation. And that's clearly what's important.

    I would love Wessely to turn up at his gym and tell him to his face he is just imagining his illness.

    I know the stereotype that fit, athletic, or tough people don't get long Covid, but self-employment is a new one. (I guess the idea is that self-employed people are hard workers.) I find it kinda funny because I was self-employed when I got ME. Sure, it was a side business, but it checks the box.

    Continuing the same tradition that was in effect with us, Internet trolls are pretty much all about those 3, the same as deniers in the medical profession: spares the self-employed (sealions about employment status), vaccination status (denial of LC by the medical profession has lead to antivaxxers to attribute all LC illness to vaccines, the usual lazy/eats like crap/couch potato, and basically pretending that public health measures basically amounted to The Purge that causes fear Fear FEAR/stress/trauma in everyone.

    I'd say those 4 basically make up 90% of LC denial and sealioning. Like everything BPS it's simply speculated as a necessary factor the conclusion that it doesn't exist.

    Follow-up from a March post on two British tennis players dealing with LC. Tanysha Dissanayake has now been forced to retire from professional tennis at the age of 21.
