Interesting in this context is completely divorced from morally good/bad. Could be any group from any area at any time in history. I’ll start with a few, followers of the cult of pythagoras, contemporary black Hebrew Israelites, antiracist skinheads and the Amish (neo-luddites in general). Don’t be racist or a prick to other people discussing.
if you try to confront them , or tell them it something else they become very hostile to you on other sites, they will legit stalk you on the site you critcized them with facts and hound you, its basically a cult so to speak. its more like psychosomatic illness or delusional parasitosis.
They have an illness destroying their life (even if it’s not the one they think it is) and they’ve found a medication that actually makes them feel better. Everyone tries to take this medication away (antibiotics) without providing anything else effective in it’s place. It’s understandable why they’re hostile.
CFS\Long Covid isn’t solely psychosomatic in the cases where an illness triggered it, that’s autoimmune.
There’s no good options for them right now outside of social support, but they certainly don’t get that in my country either. So I get why they’re absolutely hostile and just leave them be.
since they dont know what they have(so csf is not even on the table for them), they dont seek out 2nd opinions and just attribute all thier symptoms to “chronic lyme”, because its an “LYME DOCTOR” convincing them.
