SARS-CoV-2 infects human adipose tissue and elicits an inflammatory response

Pace has been debunked. The idea that is has become unpopular to say something is psychological in nature couldn’t be more wrong. Talk to CFS patients before you make statements like that. There is not a single CFS patient who hasn’t been accused of making it all up. Not. A. Single. One.

Whenever a doctor doesn’t know the answer, it’s always psychological. It’s the easy way out.

People like you piss me off to no end so I’m gonna stop replying.

you clearly have massive internal stigma against people with psychologically-based illness. this is not the same as "making it all up."

this is exactly what i mean when i say this stuff is politicized.

i disagree fundamentally with the epistemic theory of "trust people to know what is causing their illness, not doctors or researchers."

e: for evidence of what this particular strain of "patient advocacy" looks like, just peruse through this person's previous comments (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29398210), such as:

> People with Alzheimer have been cured after taking antibiotics.
