Welcome to the new age of legacy advocacy cronyism. Where years of getting nothing done leads to money and time wasted on trying to figure out “how” to prevent #LongCovid .

How the other animals fall for “we see you” so easily, I’ll never understand.

Pyke Jeannette Burmeister CDC NIH Bundling, lumping & co-mingling are for cable TV/internet, recipes and dating sites - not for disease groups. Throwing everyone together is how HHS.gov obstructs biomarkers, treatments & public policy.🗑️

It only took me a few months in #LongCovid land to discover what actually had happened with #MECFS . My concerns about the future of #LongCovid have mostly now been validated.

Some time will pass, but many are going to catch up, and simply be :

Angry about the past.

Reading Sen. Sanders' proposal for $10 billion, 10yr Long Covid moonshot. He's been coached by those who've studied every way NIH can screw a disease + put protections in place. This could/should have happened for ME in the '80s. CAA, Solve: epic fail

Whitney Edwards, M.D 🇺🇸😷🇺🇸 Lindsay Beyerstein Thomas Levenson, Zṓiarchos Michelle @maej43.bsky.social Jones ~ kiddle 🌻🇨🇦 Merlin 🇨🇦 🌻 Ann Bibby doloresquintana H/T Deborah Holloway 😷 🇺🇦 How can we be sure that #H5N1 isn't in #Canadian cows ?
🤔 #Spoiler We can't. We can't even be sure it's not in other #American states.😡

The barista at ⁦Starbucks⁩ was wearing a surgical mask. Makes perfect sense she’d want to protect herself since she is exposed to hundreds of travelers a day. I always carry new/ individually wrapped KN95s and gave her one. She was incredibly grateful!

This is that billionaire who’s obsessed w anti aging!! I actually rly appreciate him documenting and sharing this bc I’ve been saying for a WHILE how wild it is that fitness/ wellness ppl ignore COVID. This is reality! Masking up is anti aging y’all

It's so weird when I have to go out there especially for medical appointments and almost everyone is waltzing around maskless. Have I landed on another planet? Feels so bizarre.

Oh we are at the already fucked but don't know it yet stage then?

It's just crazy that the ONS now publish spin on their releases every week.
And of course, they'll never mention that 50% more 5-9 year olds are dying now than 4 years ago.

Deborah Holloway 😷 🇺🇦 This is the maddening part for me. The safe activities we’ve practiced w the littles in the family are just as fun as the unsafe traditional stuff. Ppl can’t seem to think outside the box, even when lives depend on it 😕

🚨🚨Do you remember how all of the minimisers swore blind that Covid didn't infect cells in the immune system or impair the immune system, just the same way they swore blind that Covid didn't do stuff like infect kids?
HERE'S PROOF NUMBER 217. 🤬🤬

I cannot even begin to explain how scary it is that no one in the Long COVID clinic is masking. what is there to do when not even healthcare workers in healthcare facilities will mask when working with highly vulnerable patients?

Deborah Holloway 😷 🇺🇦 The completely ridiculous part is we can still give them a great childhood but we have to accept the limitations and extra precautions necessary in our new reality. We had a super fun dragon themed birthday party for my kiddo. With a few precautions it was safe and fun for all!
