I'm seeing this fucking article everywhere. Capital loves this so hard.

The asshole didn't publish his findings. There's no link anywhere to the article. I did a good faith search in Google Scholar and Pubmed, and can't find his findings. He's going to present his findings to a fucking conference in a months time. For those of you who don't know, the bar of entry to academic conferences is much lower than an academic journal. ECCMID isn't even a prestigious conference, they'll accept nearly everyone that submits and pays. Conferences are considered just the beginning of the scientific journey, before the research goes further and gets actual peer review in an actual journal.

For those of you who don't know, John Gerrard was brought in as chief health minister to Queensland specifically to transition to open the country up and forget about COVID. Nearly 100% of the COVID cases and deaths happened after his tenure started. Fuck him

Sorry for the pedantic formatting, but this upsets me so hard.

Currently dealing with a lot of non-specific malaise that's probably due to bi-polar + adhd, but it could also be long covid exhaustion. And like i want to be able to function and live a life and not be confined to bed. And that's already been a struggle bc of life long severe depression. And now there's this virus that can cause all the same symptoms - fatigue, brain fog, cognitive problems - that i already have. And if i don't want to catch the disease that has a very serious chance of compounding and multiplying the debilitating symptoms i already have i am unreasonable, ruled by fear, insane, weird, whatever.

It is wrong that we have been treated like this, that we continue to be treated like this, that so many of us find no support even from the people closest to us.

    Sorry comrade. I'm fairly healthy, and still I'm really depressed over the state of things. It must be hard for you. I'm sorry that the system treats you so shitty, but at least you're one of my favourite people.
