Becca Kennedy, the former lead of a multistate long Covid specialty group for Kaiser Permanente, has a controversial theory. She believes long Covid belongs to a family of chronic conditions that occur when the brain gets stuck in a feedback loop of fight or flight. www.wired.com/story/the-pa...

Ok. That saves us a lot of time. Adding B. Kennedy to Don't-Ever-Listen-To-"Scientist" directly. That's not a new kind of knowlegde one have to fear to be finally allowed to talk about. It's the same old - gaslighting. Mice have psychologial reactions to Covid, too, huh? /s

So Becca Kennedy will be accepting Long Covid blood? 🩸 since she can “control it” with her mind.

The result is a cascade of symptoms she attributes to nervous system dysfunction. The solution, Kennedy argues, is retraining the brain to break the loop. www.wired.com/story/the-pa...

People named Kennedy have nothing to offer the world.

It's not a theory, there is no scientific evidence for it. These hypotheses have been proposed regularly over the last 100 years for post-viral illnesses and they consistently fail to find any mechanistic evidence along the lines of brains getting stuck in feedback loops that cause the symptoms.
