This stupid country just lets people fucking die and get disabled everyday. I’m sick of it. My tax dollars just go to killing and dismembering people abroad. Fuck fuck fuck.

Shit that’s my bad, they were inline so my brain just saw them all as a single link. As you say, the other two are definitely more for the layperson and specifically argue against CLD’s existence. A re-read of the NIH link also led to me noticing something important in the first section I’d missed on the first read-through, where they explicitly state that “CLD” is not to be used because it’s quackery, and so serious study should use the term “Post Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome”. That’s also definitely on me, and I find it very frustrating that they’ve had to change the language used to distinguish from the quackery when both terms sound interchangeable without knowing more.
I think you might’ve misunderstood me, I was referring to the family doctors an individual will interact with. While the bodies of guidelines and research they should be pulling from are legitimate, stuff like that stat of 46% of doctors failing to take appropriate COVID precautions (in 2022, I’d guess it’s much lower now) doesn’t inspire confidence in the ability of those individual doctors to properly interpret the facts when interacting with patients.
I think our perspectives on the medical system are mostly in agreement, but I was ignorant on this topic, which led to me being more willing to take OP’s word uncritically. Thanks for all effortposts!
Well I used to believe in “chronic lyme” and various other stupid shit. Ask me in 2044 and I’ll tell you what fake ass shit I believed in 2024.
I added extra line breaks in one comment. sorryislurredmyurls. I think the top comment with the lyme guidelines is clear enough though probably no one is clicky cklicky. (Weirdly no comments from OP surprised that there actually is treatment for lyme disease.)
Re the doctors: come ci come ca. But the family doctors, the ones you will meet out in your life, should be at least vaguely aware of the AAFP stuff. They actually don’t consider themselves “generalists”, but rather specialists in family medicine and participation in AAFP is a key part to that. So those people are in receipt of this information. Obviously YMMV. I am not aware of any front line profession that doesn’t struggle to adhere to adhere to COVID guidelines. But again to contextualize there is no controversy about whether COVID exists. Need to keep things in scale.
