Reminder from those of us who lived through the HIV/AIDS crisis years - you don't die of Long-HIV. HIV kills your T-cells until you have AIDS. Then you catch opportunistic infections or get rare cancers from reactivated viruses in your body, and that's what kills you.

You shouldn't be afraid to go to a hospital. And yet, the CDC has guaranteed it. okdoomer.io/got-germs/

You order a coffee and they hand it to you in this. You: Uhhh do you not have coffee cups? Them: This is just as good. You: It’s burning my hand though and it’s spilling. Them: It holds coffee, doesn’t it? You: But there’s a cup designed for this that is insulated and has a lid!

🦠 🏃🏻‍♂️😫 I have often talked abt getting PEM (inexplicable, crushing fatigue) related to my severe case of Lyme in 2014. It began when I went back to the gym after my acute infection seemed to resolve. The next day, I was too weak to lift a fork. My internist sent me to a

Troll: "Seek help. You're paranoid!". Me: I've worked in microbiology labs for almost 18 years. If the average person knew how many pathogens are basically everywhere & how so many strains are becoming more antimicrobial resistant all the time, you'd be taking precautions too.

“Scientists have found clear differences in the blood of people with #LongCovid — a key first step in the development of a test to diagnose the illness.” “The research is among the first to prove that LC is, in fact, a biological illness” — Putrino Lab nbcnews.com/health/health-…

Why isn't Novavax being approved? Because the system wants to make money on its failure. Even though it makes the best product. This not an accident. It's time to get loud. wsj.com/livecoverage/s…

⚠️15 Days ago⚠️ the CDC voted to recommend XBB vaccine updates; the FDA still hasn't approved Novavax. We are in a raging XBB outbreak. mRNA distribution is constrained. A government shutdown looms, risking further delays. We must Pressure the FDA until Novavax is approved. 🧵

Hard to believe that so many folk could be made regularly ill, be disabled by or killed by Covid without: 1) anyone being held to account 2) public outrage 3) any consideration given to changing this failed approach Those not opposing this madness have helped enable this.

1. As always, the best reporting on Covid-19 is to be found in the financial press. 'The last big finding was that in some people with long Covid, other latent viruses — things like Epstein Barr virus that go dormant, but don’t disappear — were... bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

I’ve grieved the loss of pre-covid ‘normal life’ more than most of the population. But still, every few months it really just hits me again out of nowhere. I miss the days before I knew how awful the outlook for our collective future was 😞💔

Must watch: 💡"The best way to prevent Long COVID is to prevent #COVID in the first place.“ 💡”The burden of disease and disability from #LongCOVID is on par with the burden of cancer and heart disease.” 🔥 Thank you Ziyad Al-Aly, MD.

Masks in medical settings now!!!! It is criminal that Alice is in the ER surrounded by inadequately masked sick people putting her life at risk. 😷

It’s absolutely hilarious to me that the CDC claims they didn’t promote N95 wearing at the beginning of the pandemic to save them for healthcare workers, except we can’t get healthcare workers to actually wear them without a tantrum UCSF Health

🧵I want to highlight how bad the healthcare crisis is in NYC right now. Not going to name the ER I went to bc the staff was amazing and many were in N95s. This is a failure of a population that refuses to take basic daily precautions such as implementing clean air measures 1/

I was in hospital for tests this morning. A nurse asked me “How come so many people are wearing masks? Is there something I don’t know?” I almost lost the power of speech.
