Didn't think I'd see the "disabled people are just looking for attention" card being played on Lemmy but here we are.
I think they're saying that unvaccinated people are more likely to get more severe cases of covid and therefore are more likely to get long covid.
I read it as anti-vaxxers, COVID conspiracy idiots, and maybe conservatives in general, not disabled people.
Why would anti-vaxxers or COVID conspiracists be talking about having Long COVID? They're more likely to represent it as a minor cold, not talking publicly about being disabled by illness.
Because once it actually significantly affects them they're more likely to suddenly care about it.
You know what's wild? My alzheimer's patients almost always have the most healthy bodies and rarely complain about pain. They're not overweight. They don't get CHF. They pass through COVID and other illnesses with mild symptoms.
Your simplified strawman contains a seed of truth.
Ah yes. Your tiny sample size.
From a disabled person. Fuck off. COVID sucked and continues to affect me.
You don't know my sample size. I promise it's much bigger than your twitter samples.
Twitter. The heck makes you think I use Twitter. 😹 Try again. Asshole.
tiny sample size. The heck makes you think I have a tiny sample size. 😹 Try again. Asshole.
This conversation is incredibly stupid and tedious. I will continue to reflect the quality of the posts you send me.
I feel sorry for your patients who have you as their caregiver.
They love me because it's my job to help them reach acceptance.
Oh sweetheart. Unless you account for a heck of a lot of people. Hundreds to thousands isn't a very large sample size when you take into account the amount of people with disabilities there is in the world. And you also have to account for figures of people with undiagnosed disabilities too.
So yes. Your sample size is akin to your IQ.
Low.
My sample size is larger than most studies you could cite.
You keep saying you have a large sample size but you won't say how large. Why should anyone believe you?
I don't care if you believe me.
Then why are you bothering?
If you look back, the people addressing me have been arguing about why I shouldn't believe my sources, and they're using nothing but degrading insults and authoritarian arguments to try to sway me. My responses have all been appropriate. Nobody has asked for clarification or explanation. They just read my claims and reacted with their own narcissistic responses. I don't care if you all remain ignorant of the truth.
"I have a huge sample size but I'm not even going to say how large" is not an appropriate response.
