RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

MODERATORS
what a smug piece of shit. not just because you want to gloat at another's suffering, but because you are fucking arrogant enough to this that you can help find a solution to a problem OP has had for years.
Do you really think that OP is that much of an idiot that it took them two years to find some random asshole on lemmy to Google shit for them?
You need to do some introspection, holy shit
I have helped find solutions for a handful of people's medical issues over the years.
I've found doctors often don't care to do this research themselves. You too can help; as someone who cares about this stuff often times a patient's best hope is usually a family-member who is diligent in asking questions and educating themselves further.
So piss off, internet armchair expert. Doctors aren't infallable as you may think; and I've known plenty to simply don't give 2 shits and do not look further into stuff such as this.
The irony of raging about anti vaxxers while using their talking points.
Anti-vaxxers don't trust scientific researchers and their research.
I don't trust for-profit "doctors", who look at you as a pile of cash to extract money from.
While related to the healthcare industry, they are not one in the same. MRNA vaccines are a technology that has been studied and perfected for a very long time.
Doctors on the other hand, will treat you up until the point where they don't believe they can extract money from you any longer. But there are still studies on Long-Covid that help advance that research and may even help reduce/eliminate some of the symptoms of its effects. Many of these studies are looking for participants, and don't exist to extract money from the people joining them; in fact, many will pay participants. They're risky, but in this particular instance, that may outweigh the problems that are being experienced.
