    Didn’t think I’d see the “disabled people are just looking for attention” card being played on Lemmy but here we are.

      I think they’re saying that unvaccinated people are more likely to get more severe cases of covid and therefore are more likely to get long covid.

      I read it as anti-vaxxers, COVID conspiracy idiots, and maybe conservatives in general, not disabled people.

        Why would anti-vaxxers or COVID conspiracists be talking about having Long COVID? They’re more likely to represent it as a minor cold, not talking publicly about being disabled by illness.

          Because once it actually significantly affects them they’re more likely to suddenly care about it.

      You know what’s wild? My alzheimer’s patients almost always have the most healthy bodies and rarely complain about pain. They’re not overweight. They don’t get CHF. They pass through COVID and other illnesses with mild symptoms.

      Your simplified strawman contains a seed of truth.
