@2836a58e The biggest barrier to fact checking seems to be journalism’s own resistance to doing it, claiming that objectivity is preserved only through dogged bothsidesism supported by diligent stenography of everyone (except actual experts, who are dismissed as “activists”)
So I got COVID in March 2020, since then been coping w var long-lasting symptoms incl severe fatigue & brain fog. I pushed through, trying to keep going as before, my normalization bias clinging to the idea my #LongCovid was situational, temporary. 3y later I finally saw my symptoms check all the boxes for #MECFS.
I’m still coming terms w being physically #disabled & that it’s 100% on me to find ways to stay within my limits to at least not overexert & make things worse, perhaps even improve.
