I feel like any time I read a wikipedia page about some historical figure born around then they always are described as "sickly" in their childhood. Like fuck, weren't there any health kids back then running around with those hoops and the stick or singing creepy songs in fields and... idk whatever the fuck else kids did back then, commune with black goats who send them on wicked errands to corrupt their soul to the dark prince?
i mean sickly was a general name for literally thousands of different ailments we have names for now. loads of diseases vaccined and curtailed thru sanitation now,
the long term adverse effects from contracting them... like long covid but a dozen poorly understood diseases with barely any remediation.
