Not to mention being made to feel insane by the mainstream media’s complete head-in-the-sand denial of the situation. It’s no wonder people have such a vague understanding of why they feel unhappy / distressed over the past few years.

Also, in 2020, long-covid and widespread rise in disability (immune disregulation in particular) hadn’t yet fully developed. People are sick with covid, rsv, and the flu way more often now. Simply being sick all the time could be a huge factor in the “bad vibes” since 2020.

Fantastic article! Thank you for being a beacon of reason on this, Julia.
