Really, the answer to most ‘so many cases of X didn’t use to exist!’ complaints is that THEY USED TO DIE.

Allergies? Gluten intolerance? Cystic Fibrosis? Seizures? Asthma? Diabetes?

THOSE USED TO BE ALL BUT DEATH SENTENCES.

Y'all ever notice that when people say “There were never that many X people before!!!” X people almost always seem to be Housebound due to Lack of Accessibility or Chance of Severe Illness, Unrepresented because no one Put A Name to the Demographic, Oppressed with Physical Violence and Societal Ostracization, or straight up fucking Dead?? Just me?
