"This piece has been brewing in my head over the last few years as I’ve watched
a dramatic shift happen. In a very generous framing of this dynamic, a growing
number of people are questioning: what possesses someone to still wear a mask,
aren’t they just anxious and paranoid?! This has created tension in families,
partnerships, friendships, workplaces, social groups, and other communities.
Since the answer is unclear to many, I want to address this.
And I say all this as a mental health professional who specializes in working
with the chronically ill and disabled communities; is trained to recognize the
impacts of trauma, cognitive biases, and thought distortions; with education
and training in research methodology who has poured over infectious disease
research for several years; who has lived with Long COVID and been part of this
community for 5 years; and who has welcomed far too many new faces to this
community in recent years."
