This stupid country just lets people fucking die and get disabled everyday. I’m sick of it. My tax dollars just go to killing and dismembering people abroad. Fuck fuck fuck.

    The medical establishment being clear on what is real and what is not Is good for preventing these abusive or coercive situations from occurring.

    They are not, though, because they are the medical establishment. The medical establishment also says Covid is nothing, and the CDC in the US specifically ignores anything to do with avian influenza currently. I am not sure what to say to anyone that is still propagating any of this as a reliable source of truth a priori. The fact of the matter of Lyme is inconsequential to the broader point: “trust the medical establishment,” (or “science” as is frequently used as proxy in these types of discussions) and given what I have lived through and know, I will be selective with this trust. More people ought to be.

      US CDC; European CDC; WHO

      You might not think it satisfactory but I’d hardly call it “nothing”.

      well “lyme” it is explicitly the point of this thread

      the evidence to support a hypothesis is not irrelevant to the hypothesis.

        do you remember what this looked like four years ago, and then in 2021, and then 22, and then 23? lol. I would call what they have all been doing worse than nothing. So I suppose you’re correct.

        Whatever. I don’t care anymore. I’m done speaking to walls and arguing with people who haven’t thought about disability once in their entire lives.
