    This is so depressing. Many Long Covid patients are able to know their symptoms started with their vaccination and subsequent infections. We are a global network trying to help ourselves of sufferers of all ages. This is never mentioned.

  • too shallow

    The episode re wearables did it for me - not one critical thought (rare for the whole show, indeed), just boys with toys & tech-sayvies on the effect on exotic symptoms. For the "BBC", the niveau listeners are loving it for over decades & decades, a disappointment out of proportion.
