Are you suggesting that people should ignore their personal experiences if they do not align with what the science tells them? Why would you declare that anyone is in denial about their own reality?

Yes, that's exactly why personal experience aka "n=1" is not considered acceptable evidence.

Not to mention the huge bias involved when someone claims "bad thing happened to me and look I'm perfectly ok".
