What is long COVID? This is not the messaging in the media. We are seeing ‘no worse than the last infection’ etc but these are the risks!

Despite the Hoopla, Vaccines Should Be in Reach This Cough-and-Cold Season www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdi...

An enduring idiocy baked into anti-vax propaganda is that most infectious disease is the acute phase, you get over it and then all good. That’s very often not how it works! Long COVID for ex isn’t an outlier. Many pathogens cause organ damage or mess w DNA or linger in certain types of cells.

We’re five years into the pandemic, and the science is telling a very different story than “just a cold.” COVID affects blood vessels, organs, metabolism, and cognition — and the impacts compound with each infection.

Sweden? Public Health, FHM, isn't even collecting data. Zero references to longcovid/postcovid in their plan. Socialstyrelsen wants to rely on brain training and physical therapy and not read the numerous studies on diabetes in children, blod clots, immune or brain damage.

This is going to be a great watch! I adore those speakers- passionate, convicted & dedicated at all costs. 👏👏

Why you should continue to get the COVID-19 vaccine every year!

Haven’t we been saying this?

They might be better served using an umbrella. ☔️🥴🫣

While still worth getting, this year's flu vaccine is likely "mismatched" to the current mutating type of H3N2. If only we had other tools to prevent preventable viruses 😷 www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

Germany’s Schön Klinik surveyed 3,345 people with long COVID. Only 36% saw improvement after nearly 3 years of symptoms. Almost 90% were on long-term sick leave and 97% rated their care as poor or very poor. www.thieme-connect.de/products/ejo...

Massachusetts General Hospital and Columbia University followed 1231 US adolescents and found that those vaccinated within 6 months before COVID-19 infection had a 36% lower risk of developing long COVID compared to those unvaccinated. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Nine of 11 authors of a new Lancet paper are from the Dutch National Institute RIVM. They claim “Post-COVID-19 Condition (PCC)” — aka Long Covid — after 2023 is < 1 %. Sounds reassuring, right? It’s not.👇

I have edited this gDoc to include genetic testing details. This might help others trying to identify possible causes of their Long COVID too: docs.google.com/document/d/1... Long COVID = exacerbated genetic mutation + COVID epigenetic modification

Families need clear #PublicHealth information on risk of hospitalisation AND post infectious diseases. I urge @rcpch.bsky.social to collaborate with @longcovidkids.bsky.social on similar fact sheets for COVID / #LongCovid. #Flu #Facts #Childhealth www.rcpch.ac.uk/resources/fl... #LongCovidKids
