I have had ME for 25 years since I had a hepatitis vaccine in 1998. It has destroyed my life. I went from having a high flying career paying lots of taxes, to being unable to work, bedridden, on a disability pension. If this data is correct, then the cost to society will be vast. They have done no real meaningful research into ME for the last 40 years, preferring to save money by pretending it does not really exist. What a false economy! Before the Covid vaccine rollout, I wrote to my local MP and warned him that this would happen. I said the risks would be highest for young women, who are the most likely to develop ME. Needless to say nobody in my family took the Covid vaccine.
