Ableism kills #MECFS #MaeveInquest "'Had Maeve presented with those symptoms but with a diagnosis other than ME, I believe she would have been treated very differently'... ...A paediatrician told Maeve her symptoms were 'all in her mind'” theguardian.com/society/articl…

We are in the early stage of the ongoing fight against COVID-19 and airborne illness transmission. Consider Barry Marshall's Nobel Prize. In the 1980s, Marshall went against the prevailing dogma to show stomach ulcers were caused by h pylori bacteria -- not stress. It was a
