This literally happened to me, only I lost way more than half my income.
It’s horrible, and frequently remembering the life I had is very painful.
I can’t work out what possible upside you think there is to this situation.

For example, myalgic encephalomyelitis (sometimes referred to as chronic fatigue syndrome) has been dismissed and under-researched for decades. The lack of research has perpetuated a limited understanding of the underlying biology, a lack of diagnostic testing, a lack of respect for patient experiences and an embarrassing lack of action. Research funding is extremely low relative to the burden of the disease and its prevalence.
About half of long COVID patients also meet the diagnostic criteria for myalgic encephalomyelitis. By our sheer number, our advocacy for more research and clinical trials should be harder to dismiss.
This is dismissed and underfunded world-wide.
The status quo - pretending it’s all in your head - is in the interests of insurance companies (and governments with disability welfare systems).
I have to disagree! I freely mod a conservative sub in my spare time.
It has definitely not been taken over by fascist snowflakes.
