Mostly posting about Long Covid
The covid deniers have won, but they also have to live in the world they created.

At least try to hide it, and add in one white holiday.

Senator Todd Young 'Covid is not over. If confirmed, will you collaborate with healthcare providers, researchers, and affected communities to better mitigate and understand #LongCovid?' RFJ Jr - "Yes"

Someone who gets it! “The NIH communications pause feels like a part of a bigger shift and attack on sciences because there is a suspicion about our work or who is selected to do this when it is in fact very competitive and benefits society as a whole.”

The #1 question I receive is where can I find a doctor to help me with my disability application. We have multiple crises happening at the same time. #LongCovid

This is why I don't believe people anymore when they say they have never heard of #LongCovid😑

The causes of #LongCovid are immune dysregulation, autoimmunity, and viral persistence. These are not mutually exclusive because we know viral persistence can drive autoimmunity overtime from antigen stimulation. Petter Brodin youtu.be/rdI9ERFuOCA?...

SARS-CoV-2 is not a textbook virus. Antibodies are suppose to wane over time after an infection is fully cleared. Here, the group with #LongCovid continues to have an antibody response up to 1000 days laters, while in the control it wanes, suggesting viral persistence. 1/2

Prevention is undervalued. Listening to the news lament that we need to spend more money on public safety, when we have gutted public health. We only know we have a problem when it's burning down your house.

If you really want to see what cognitive dissonance looks like, just look at LA right now. You have some people wearing N100s, but most are wearing nothing at all. The government and the news is telling them they need to wear at least an N95 outside.

Why don't we see more #LongCovid researchers wearing a mask? ‘It's cognitive dissonance, it's quite taxing, and requires a lot of discipline. Remember that doctors, cardiologists, and pulmonologists used to smoke in the hospitals.’ Dr Al-Aly

'It's a trauma response, we are dealing with the pandemic by ignoring it, and saying it doesn't exist anymore. We are going to live in a make believe world where the pandemic does not exist. It's cognitive dissonance.' Dr Al-Aly

Vaccination prior to Covid-19 infection does not significantly reduce neurological symptoms seen in #LongCovid.

The #LongCovid bill has stalled in congress a year later. I said it last year, and I'll say it again, this bill will never leave the subcommittee without a republican signature. It needs bipartisan support, and for that, the amount needs to be much smaller.

What makes ME/CFS and other Post Acute Infection Syndromes so tricky they likely have a 1-2 hit model. Where you have a smoldering infection, and a second challenge comes along which could be a high stress event is the trigger when the symptoms really begin. David Putrino

When SARS-CoV-2 specific T cells are activated for too long, they lose their ability to fight, and become exhausted. Latent viruses can reactivate as the immune system becomes more dysregulated. David Putrino

'Oh I had Norovirus last week. Oh I had it last week too.' Totally normal conversation now. 🫠🫠

Viruses are specific. H5N1 doesn't infect the upper respiratory tract as well, but human flu does. If someone were to be infected with both at the same time, the virus can reassort and become far more contagious. Dr Brix

Admittedly I'm very biased, but something seems to be changing. 😷

Most people who sought help for post-acute symptoms said that a health care provider helped manage their symptoms, but the provider had not discussed with them whether they had Long COVID 4/

Half did see a doctor for their symptoms, but rarely did the provider mention #LongCovid 3/
