The administration has canceled 45 RECOVER #LongCOVID grants. These grants examined pathology, & were vital to understanding infection-associated chronic illness as a whole.
Half of those with #LongCOVID at 6 mo. meet criteria for #MECFS. 🧪

So grateful for Ed Yong’s journalism on MECFS AND long Covid
I wrote an op-ed for the NYT about what reporting on long COVID has meant to me—how I approached it, the impact it had, and how it taught me to be a better journalist.
This piece is sort of a manifesto for a journalism grounded in compassion, rigor, and care.

Opinion | Reporting on Long Covid Taught Me to Be a Better Journalist
Covering long Covid solidified my view that science is not the objective, neutral force that it is often caricatured to be.

MECFS in German press. Translation of OP's post: "A great successful article in the FAZ on #MECFS. In addition to the immeasurable suffering of 3 seriously ill women, the history of the illness, the fatal role of psychosomatics and Prof. Scheibebogen's hope for a drug in 2026 are discussed."
Ein großer gelungener Artikel in der FAZ zu #MECFS. Thematisiert wird neben dem unermesslichen Leiden von 3 schwer erkrankten Frauen, die Geschichte der Krankheit, die fatale Rolle der Psychosomatik & die Hoffnung von Prof. Scheibenbogen auf ein Medikament in 2026.

Vom Leben ausgeschlossen
ME/CFS-Patienten sind arm dran. Die Krankheit: kaum erforscht. Medikamente: nicht zugelassen. Die Ärzte: oft ahnungslos. Doch langsam verändert sich die Lage.
