Long COVID is more than fatigue. Our new study suggests its impact is similar to a stroke or Parkinson’s

Mounting evidence shows long COVID is real and serious. Studies confirm it reduces quality of life to levels seen in chronic fatigue syndrome, stroke, arthritis and Parkinson’s

If 4.9 million kids with asthma is a national health priority, what does it mean when 5.8 million have Long Covid?

Why is the #1 chronic condition in children being ignored?

And in case you were under the impression it’s over, last month an average of 350 people per week died of #COVID in the US.
A bit jarring to go from one article describing a new #COVID variant leading to increased hospitalizations in Asia that has now detected in US to the next article about how the US is recommending fewer people get vaccinated.

In a sample of 472 children under 2 years, and 539 children aged 3-5 years, over 40% of those who were reported by their parents to have had Covid presented with at least one prolonged symptom. This suggests #LongCovid being common in young children

My autistic adult daughter just said, "The only difference between Asperger's and autism was how well you functioned under capitalism. That's why billionaires still cling to the term."
"Asperger's" is an outdated, offensive term.

Hans Asperger was a eugenicist Nazi who called autism "autistic psychopathy", sent disabled kids to be euthanized, promoted "race hygiene" and "supported the Nazi goal of eliminating children who could not fit in w/ the Nazi Aryan ideal"

Many autistic people have so-called “spiky profiles," as in the same person can have both pronounced abilities & disabilities—whether or not they need full-time support. Also, the same person can require high or low support at different times in their life.

There is a systematic effort to make the word “Nazi” seem like just another insult wielded by oversensitive libs.

But Elon Musk is not just a Nazi. He’s Dylann Roof in the West Wing hacking America to be more white, patriarchal & violent.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.
Trump has not uttered a critical word about Putin but he and his VP publicly belittled the leader of the nation Putin invaded.
