“Why are so many children having developmental problems?
Why are there more car accidents & plane crashes?
Why are people more aggressive & less empathetic?
Why is everyone sick all the time?
Why is there more violence in schools?”
Gee, I dunno…
“There isn’t more violence in schools and kids are fine”
Oh, ok 👍🏻.
“People aren’t more aggressive and less empathetic”
Oh, ok 👍🏻.
“Everyone isn’t sick all the time”
Oh, ok 👍🏻.
“There aren’t more plane crashes or incidents in aviation”
Oh, ok 👍🏻.
Yet when the answer to all these questions is obvious, giving the actual answer (covid) is always met with complete bewilderment and you’re looked at as if you’re some kind of intellectually challenged conspiracy theorist.
Let’s keep ignoring the virus that shan’t be named then!

Anecdotally, I’m seeing significant numbers complaining about health issues after SARS-CoV-2 infections, w/the majority NOT presenting with what people believe are traditional LC symptoms (fatigue, breathlessness, joint pain etc).
What % of LC cases are actually “traditional”?🧵
The majority assume LC only comes in the form of fatigue etc, which is demonstrably untrue. This is just one way in which the disease can present itself.
This causes many to believe the number of LC cases to be far lower than reality & even believe they don’t have it themselves.
We’ve got people proudly stating “I definitely don’t have long covid” all the while complaining about the new ringing in their ears that developed recently, or the panic attacks that started out of nowhere, or the memory lapses that keep occurring.
This is what healthcare professionals really think about those of you suffering w/new health issues since SARS-CoV-2 arrived. It’s truly shocking.
I’m ashamed of my own profession.
This is intolerable.

Guys, it’s just anxiety🧵
It gets worse.
This emergency consultant has the audacity to cite young people’s anxiety causing them to think that any form of chest pain/breathing problem is them having a heart attack.
Let’s not forget the fact that covid has been found to increase the risk of cardiac events
This is a well orchestrated attempt by the medical community to pass off each & every increase in disease/health conditions we are now seeing since SARS-CoV-2 arrived as anxiety, rather than the ACTUAL cause.
This is nothing new, and it certainly isn’t ableist to discuss certain consequences of damage to the brain.
I’ve seen patients become drastically different people due to brain trauma/damage. Some can become aggressive, with some even committing crimes as a result.
Could brain damage cause personality changes that increase the tendency to become a fascist? Yes, absolutely.
Does brain damage always cause a person to be more likely seduced by fascism? No.
The 1st statement isn’t ableist.
The 2nd statement is ableist, only if answered “yes”
