But nary a mention of #COVID or #LongCOVID. Just another "mysterious" medical condition suddenly afflicting a fit, young person, during an #OngoingPandemic of a virus known to cause this -

Covid is vascular and airborne both undeniable facts!

Assisted by an #OngoingPandemic of #COVID, ignored by all governments (because votes) -

Exactly. People think of long Covid as a binary state - you either have it or you don't. But another way LC exists is by turning up the volume dial to various extents on pre-existing conditions

Happening tomorrow!

Casualties of the #Ebola Bundibugyo virus outbreak in Africa continue to mount, with a total of at least 1,354 infections & 401 deaths in the #DRC & Uganda" - www.cidrap.umn.edu/ebola/ebola-...

Ignorance and erasure of long Covid make it so much harder to cope with. It is not just the symptoms, people's lack of understanding is disabling. These comics help us make sense of living with long Covid ❤️

1/ Actually, it's not only "reckless exercise" that can lead to #Rhabdomyolysis, so can #COVID - www.theguardian.com/wellness/202...

We're at the point where public health needs to be rebuilt from the ground up, with permanent provisions to ensure the majority of leadership comes from outside medicine. It's the only way to get adequate expertise, diversity of thought, and escape commitment bias from past failures. #medical

'Elke Hausmann had been working as a GP for a decade until Long Covid put a stop to that. It's very difficult to find any numbers for how many GPs are affected by Long COVID and had to reduce their working commitments, or have had to stop working altogether, taking ill health or early retirement.'

RECOVER studied 74 autopsies and found replicating SARS-CoV-2 in the heart in 11 cases. 82% had cardiac Long COVID symptoms. The virus was found inside heart muscle cells alongside immune and structural changes, supporting viral persistence. my.uscap.org/uscap/progra...

Long Covid has derailed my kid’s life, and the schools are not equipped to support a child with long covid without an assumption that the child trying to get away with something. It’s built into the entire system.

1/ Who knew that it was just our poor goal-setting that was the weak link preventing our recovery from #LongCOVID. Yes, yet another weak study picking low-hanging fruit - medicalxpress.com/news/2026-07...

1/ "If we continue to prepare for tomorrow’s outbreaks with yesterday’s diagnostic tools and strategies, we should not be surprised when we get the same result: another epidemic recognized too late and too many lives lost" -

1/ “It’s relatively easy to pick up #COVID-19, especially if you haven’t had a new vaccine dose or been infected in the last six months" - @moriartylab.bsky.social globalnews.ca/news/9828295...

1/ In the words of South African photographer, #JodiBieber (shared via Facebook): "I didn't sleep very well last night. Like many 🇿🇦 South Africans, I lay awake thinking about our country and wondering what today might bring". #OneAfrica #StopXenophobia #NoToAfrophobia

Exactly this 👇

I have 2 sons (24 & 27) who are ineligible for a spring vaccination, even though COVID is not yet seasonal. They are working on a lengthy film shoot with some crew/talent who have travelled to #Whitehorse via an international airport, & nobody (except my sons) is masking. #PublicHealthIsDead

Ebola outbreak spreads to 4th province in DR Congo The growing outbreak has prompted the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to ban mass gatherings in the country’s capital www.cidrap.umn.edu/e...

1/ Apparently the same public officials who usually bemoan the low uptake of vaccines generally, also don't believe in them either: because why else would 🇨🇦 #PublicHealth, during an #OngoingPandemic, restrict a #COVID vaccine shown to reduce the risk of #LongCOVID? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

1/ Just for the record - there is no "post-pandemic", the #COVID pandemic is very much ongoing & in its 7th untrammelled year, still ignored by all governments -

Expect a proliferation of subcommittee webinars about #BVD. The ones that mention #OneHealth in the same breath as preparedness are the ones to attend -

"We agree and argue for pre-spillover #OneHealth architecture" -

1/ In a perfect world, this briefing will not focus on why risk is low to readers outside Africa, & why there's no need to panic - & rather on global health & the need for a #OneHealth approach, the #PrecautionaryPrinciple for what we don't understand, & the possibility of #AirborneTransmission -

#Ebola update: DRC confirmed 47 new cases on 6/27; 12 of them are already dead. That brings the outbreak total in DRC so far to 1274 cases and 239 deaths. 87% of known contacts of cases were being followed as of yesterday. insp.cd/sitrep-n044-...

#LongCOVID, calculable if governments cared to quantify the cost of a pandemic of an injurious #AirborneVirus, now in its 7th untrammelled year. But they don't. Because votes. #PublicHealthIsDead

Interesting world we live in when the tech sector & finance publications like Bloomberg are openly discussing long COVID & the long term impacts of viral infections while many governments rarely do

I have a hypothesis that competitiveness is one of the worst traits to have in medicine. In a profession where everything is a stall (to quote Dr Cox) and there is no win condition, believing that diagnosis is victory leads this phenomenon of "the patient must be wrong". I'm not going to go on a

Really important thread. Lots of empire-builders in medicine's management class want to jump in front of the parade, "move forward", and propose "innovative solutions" they can be in charge of. Willingness to admit public health screwed up is the litmus test for integrity. Most fail. #medsky

1/ Since my March 2020 #COVID infection & subsequent experiences with the medical community (with symptoms of #LongCOVID) - like many others, & for all the reasons listed here, I have become avoidant of seeking medical care - @neurologistmom.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/neurolog...

1/ How very theoretical, say all who've watched the @who.int blunder on incompetently throughout the course of the #COVID pandemic (& which is still ongoing) - www.medscape.com/viewarticle/...

1/ Expect more cynical reinventions like this - Dr. Merrilee Fullerton, the former Ontario Minister of Long-Term Care who notoriously mismanaged #COVID in long-term care in that province, has apparently reinvented herself as an advocate for #LongCOVID, in addition to - bsky.app/profile/docm...

Groups like @ipaccanada.bsky.social need to be held legally accountable for their role in spreading disinformation and the resulting deaths and disability. Democracy cannot accept the ongoing efforts at back-room manipulation by IPC professionals who want to trade our lives for their convenience.

We treat respiratory infections like the cold and flu as minor nuisances. The evidence increasingly suggests they’re anything but. I'm excited to be an advisor for Intercept, a $500M bet to make them a thing of the past. interceptfund.substack.com/p/e9438538-4...
