I loved this example and response. I also am SO happy you stated you do not believe MS is an autoimmune illness. I think framing it as an autoimmune disease makes it seem less serious and decreases urgency to cure. I am a marketer and many would be surprised at the power of branding and strongly believe that reframing MS as a virus that never leaves your body and attacks and shreds your brain and spinal cord even while everything seems “fine” will lead to a very different attitude towards this disease and hopefully improve patient outcomes

Just a future request

I’d love to see something about vaccines. The rise of anti vaxers and increase in mosquito borne viruses makes me nervous for the long term

More and more young parents aren’t getting kid’s vaccines which is shocking to me

As an MS community I’m seeing this thinking seep into social media groups and knowing ebv is the trigger we all want a vaccine for ebv (+ treatment for those of us already with MS) how are we going to convince the wider public + pwMS to take this vaccine?
