Bottom line: COVID-19 vaccines likely reduce the risk of long COVID, especially in multi-dose regimens. But two critical questions remain: How long protection lasts. And what outcome we’re actually protecting against - LC vs PCC - is more than a technicality. Most people don’t

We urgently need more data focused on Omicron and its subvariants previously infected and vaccinated populations real-world vaccine performance in 2023–2025 Without that, we’re still navigating long COVID policy with Delta-era assumptions.

Barriers to vaccine access, lack of multi-layered mitigation, misrepresenting waves as "nothingburgers." These are all value judgments about who matters.

The infographics produced at letsair.org are simply fantastic. This is one of my favourites yet I encourage you to check out the lot - they are very impactive.

I lost two loved ones to cancer following COVID in this pandemic. I want to know badly what COVID did to them.

Thinking about hosting a space on parenting while living with Long Covid/chronic illness. There are so many layers: physical limits, guilt, constant recalibration, the unknown, etc etc. Wondering if others would find it helpful?

Clinical and Functional Characteristics of Cardiovascular System in Children Who Have Undergone COVID-19 🔥Retrospective study from Kazakhstan( 228 C19 PCR pos children, with 24 - 36 months follow-up in 2023-2024). 😡Teaser: What have we done, and continue to do, to our

Experts’ bird flu warning The most likely scenario is that someone will get infected with both H5N1 and a seasonal flu virus, and they will swap genes, and that reassortment could kick off the next pandemic,” said Jennifer Nuzzo, a professor of epidemiology and director of the

Can COVID-19 cause lasting heart changes in children - even after a mild case? Yes. A new peer-reviewed study followed kids after infection. The shocking part? Just how many still show signs of heart dysfunction years later.🧵

Parallels between HIV and SARS-CoV-2? It’s not about the viruses being the same. It’s about how both can leave behind persistent, measurable damage - especially to the immune and cardiovascular systems, even without severe acute illness.

📢 Did you know more people in 🇺🇸 died of #COVID19 than of #BreastCancer in 2024? I’m a breast oncologist, & I think both conditions deserve public attention/funding for prevention & treatment. #COVID19: 47,522 deaths #bscm: 42,780 deaths Sources in next tweet #MedTwitter

Just to make it absolutely 100% explicitly obvious what’s happening here: a medical facility in California has an employee who is testing positive for Covid. They do not require this employee to mask, or go home. This employee is actively infecting patients with Covid. In 2025.

“It’s self-evident that this is the single best technology we have now to rapidly produce a vaccine for the largest number of people. And you are throwing away a technology which was exceedingly valuable in saving lives during the most recent pandemic.” statnews.com/2025/08/05/mrn…

COVID significantly increases risk of death from metastatic cancer. Viruses like COVID-19 and the flu could awaken dormant cancer cells that have previously spread to the lungs, triggering the growth of metastatic disease. healthimaging.com/topics/clinica…

School starts next week & everyone knows poorly ventilated CA schools (many) are super spreaders in the community. Meanwhile, California Department of Public Health has gone dark on data, so families, school staff & communities are flying blind. Why, Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan Tim Grayson Governor Gavin Newsom Gavin Newsom?

Air pollution damages DNA in the same way tobacco does. A global study of people with lung cancer found a strong link between air pollution and cancer-promoting mutations, particularly ones caused by smoking. None of the study participants had ever smoked.

On 4SD/WHO briefings back in 2022 & 2023 w/Sir David Nabarro (RIP 😢), we warned of the potential long term cardiovascular risks to children’s (& adults) health from Sars2. We begged for clean air/mitigations.Nada.Now read ⬇️😔1/ m.youtube.com/watch?v=k0mojF… longcovidproject.eu/2023/05/02/wha…

Hugely important, simple, clear information explaining the need for and benefits of Indoor Air Quality - IAQ. Hard to believe so few views, likes and retweets for what could and should be considered a seminal presentation.

500,000 Americans will be infected with C0VlD today. Based on the data consistently showing 1-in-5 infections results in Long C0VlD, another 100,000 people will go on to develop Long C0VlD in the U.S. just from today’s infections.

mRNA research helped develop COVID vaccines in record time - saving millions of lives. Cutting half a billion in mRNA funding, as HHS Sec. Kennedy proposes, isn’t just bad policy - it’s dangerous. As a physician & recipient of mRNA vaccines, here’s what people need to know 🧵
