You might be like, how were you friends with this person. The truth is, this is really sad because she has honestly become like a different person to the person we knew before the pandemic started and the person we have considered a very close friend for many years. I do think this relates to the rise and dominance of right wing, individualistic narratives and the failure of the left to have a consistent robust pro science, intersectional anti-ableist approach to the pandemic. Instead, us covid cautious people are the ones considered to be 'cranks' or toxic people by giving a shit about our own and other people's health. Also, in terms of her approach and views regarding Long-Covid, I can see how her desperation to get better - and people's exploitation of this - has shaped her attitude and behaviour; that isn't to excuse it, it's just important to understand if we are going to change things.
