Six years since the height of the pandemic, the scientific community remains baffled by long Covid. But there might finally be a way forward for long Covid treatment—if only you were allowed to talk about it.

Becca Kennedy, the former lead of a multistate long Covid specialty group for Kaiser Permanente, has a controversial theory. She believes long Covid belongs to a family of chronic conditions that occur when the brain gets stuck in a feedback loop of fight or flight. www.wired.com/story/the-pa...

The result is a cascade of symptoms she attributes to nervous system dysfunction. The solution, Kennedy argues, is retraining the brain to break the loop. www.wired.com/story/the-pa...

But outside of the community, such recovery stories are frequently met with skepticism and frustration. www.wired.com/story/the-pa...

Some advocates worry that emphasis on psychological therapies will distract from biomedical research that could yield a breakthrough disease-targeting intervention. Read the full story here: www.wired.com/story/the-pa...

Right but what you seem to miss is, if we're going to believe patients, we must also believe the patients for whom these approaches haven't worked or have actually made them worse. If you want to believe patients you can't cherry pick patients to only support your preferred narrative.

You could have chosen to present a balanced narrative based on the full breadth of the facts, but instead you wanted to sound edgy and sensational and discarded any evidence that was counter to your narrative, so, frankly you deserve the criticism you're getting
