“The biopsychosocial model: Its use and abuse”

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11019-023-10150-2

I think we should stop all #covid19 testing, until I have been able to blame all post-covid , #longcovid19 , #PASC sequelae to the conspicuous kale consumption. After all, this is what happened with the adenovirus hepatitis, lockdown immunity debt and strawberry allergies.
