*whispers* it’s brain damage from covid

This is one of the many reasons why we desperately & urgently need a public awareness campaign from CDC on #LongCovid — even if not in this specific instance, we know there are so many people out there with new health issues, not connecting it to their last infection.

Shocked to see that that on #ECI2024, one of the world's largest immunology conferences, there isn't a single session on #LongCovid or #MECFS. How did this happen EFIS? We need immunologists to crack this puzzle! We must do better next time. eci2024.org

To the #ECI2024 scientific programme co-chairs Cliona O'Farrelly and Luke O'Neill: What was the reason for not integrating #LongCovid / #MECFS into the sessions? We have outstanding scientists in Europe who are working very hard on these debilitating diseases! We need help.

This really is shocking and disappointing. #LongCovid is a massive ongoing immunological quandary devastating millions of people's lives, yet not a word about it at this major immunology conference. Morally and professionally unjustifiable. EFIS #ECI2024

Autonomic Dysfunction is the reason that Long Covid patients are disabled. The key to solving this mystery is what has caused or is driving this dysfunction. Functional Brain Imaging and Studies are needed. Not enough people talking about the Autonomic Nervous System.

Dr Claire Taylor has got the job of Specialty Doctor for NHS Doncaster with a fantastic team in the Long covid clinic. (Alongside her own work in Scotland) ⭐️⭐️⭐️👏🏻
