Its sad that we needed to have a partially avoidable mass death due to COVID in order for people to start considering these chronic conditions more broadly in society. People have been having these issues for generations.
But some things are just really complex and the root causes are very, very difficult to pin down. There was a lot sad about COVID, but like 4000th on the list is how it revealed the human dynamics that lead to chronic diseases being overlooked because science has no valid explanation for what's happening to patients. I say this as someone who suffered from Lyme Disease for a number of years.
