And #MECFS is pretty serious as well. This study showed that quality of life in people with ME was lower than that of folks w/multiple sclerosis, chronic renal failure, and every other disease to which it was compared.

John Oliver sits once more in a blue suit with his hands together, identical to that of the previous pose. He is a white man wearing black glasses. The screen to his left shows the info from Hvidberg et al. 2015 on quality of life in ME/CFS. You can see that it has the lowest of all the diseases to which it's compared, although the bottom of the figure is cut off, for Reasons of Poor Canva.

Myalgic encephalomyelitis, sometimes called #MECFS, is an infection-associated illness. That means it is often triggered by an infection, often viral. About half of those with #LongCOVID meet the diagnostic criteria for #MECFS, so it's a HUGE problem.

John Oliver, still a white man wearing spectacles and a suit, sits to the right of a screen within which we, through the magic of Canva, have placed the symptoms graphic for ME/CFS from the Concise Clinical Review on ME/CFS in Mayo Clinic Proceedings. Over the graphic is written in black lettering, 'myalgic encephalomyelitis'.

On the one hand, medical science is beginning to get a handle on the very complex physiological basis of this disease. On the other hand, we can expect the greatest medical scandal (so far) of the 21st Century – the mass mistreatment and neglect of ME/CFS sufferers – to continue.
