MCS & Long COVID - Shared Struggles, Stigma, & Endurance: Deborah Lupton, PhD

Long COVID has pushed millions into a reality people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) have faced for decades: severe symptoms, disbelief, and no clear diagnosis.

This episode of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast explores what these conditions share:

Medical dismissal.

Stigma and social isolation.

And epistemic injustice—when patients’ knowledge of their own bodies is questioned or ignored.

Aaron Goodman speaks with Professor Deborah Lupton, a leading sociologist of health and medicine at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, and editor of the recent book, Long COVID and Society: International Perspectives.
