He’s not here for corporate platitudes, regulatory shoulder shrugs, or vaccine-era gaslighting. This is not a conversation about politics, but it's about power and choice and the right to receive care and treatment no matter your condition.</p><p>In this episode, we cover everything from broken clinical pathways to meme coins and the eternal shame of being old enough to remember Eastern Airlines. Marc talks about what it means to build tools instead of just complaining, what Long COVID has done to his body and his patience, and why the illusion of “choice” in healthcare is a luxury most patients don’t have.</p><p>This conversation doesn’t ask for empathy. It demands it.</p><p><strong>RELATED LINKS</strong></p><ul><li><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/marc-elia/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Marc Elia on LinkedIn</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.invivyd.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Invivyd Company Site</a></li><li><a href=\"https://investors.invivyd.com/board-member/marc-elia\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Marc’s Bio at Invivyd</a></li></ul><p><strong>FEEDBACK</strong></p><p>Like this episode?
