Ya que las televisiones dan más visibilidad a la familia de #Franco que a sus víctimas, aprovecho para recordar a 2 de mis familiares fusilados por el franquismo. Mi bisabuela Petra, exhumada, y mi tio abuelo Narciso, cuya fosa fue sellada por 1 vertedero por el #PP Calatayud. ❤
@atranscendedman I guess it is just the contrary. By trying to transform an etiology disease into a symptomatic condition to fit into others has led to patients' loss of opportunities. Researchers, investers and institutions have focussed on the wrong angle all this time so they could be funded.

La dernière chose dont on avait besoin c'est que Ruffin récupère le Covid Long pour la plus grande joie de Margulies (Printemps Républicain) et en confondant le Covid Long et l'EM 🙄🤦♀️ Les 2 millions (sous estimation) c'est bien 2 millions de Covid Longs (pas CL et EM).

Honored for the @TogetherWeMask highlight. They're doing great work trying to get normies to still give a shit about COVID (which they should for their own survival, even if they lack empathy). Follow them on IG for more!
@davidtuller1@WIRED@AlanLevinovitz Please stop saying that LC is too large. We frequently cumulate different presentations, and it's often the same mechanisms. At the contrary, same symptoms doesnt mean same mechanisms.
This attitude decorelates LC from its cause and it harms us.

Place in the UK that offers a rehab program for Long COVID recently changed its name to a rehab center for “Long-Term Conditions.” Sounds like it offers GET, so not a big loss, but another example of COVID getting erased from the culture.
While people are dying, you make up acronyms (PAIS/IACC) to hide the harm.
You turned Long COVID and silent Long COVID into a confusing mess of letters, dismissing it as nothing new.
You learned nothing from the HIV/AIDS disaster.
There's a really weird MD named Steven Phillips (not the Lyme guy on here; a different Dr Phillips) who is a part of something called the "COVID Collaborative" - an NGO that's backed by Rockefeller, Bill Gates, and Allstate insurance (not joking - go look it up). It was setup in 2020 to "reopen the country" - that was its actual mission statement.
Every few years he puts out a think-piece to try to squash Long COVID research. Back in 2023, he published an essay in Time about how Long COVID was just ME/CFS, and since we've never found a cure for ME/CFS, we shouldn't waste any time or money looking for a Long COVID cure either.
Recently, he published a new essay in Stat, in which he very bizarrely laments the budget cuts to Long COVID research. He tries blame Trump, but his prior piece argued for these exact budget cuts - not sure if he's suffering from amnesia, or what.
He once again conflates Long COVID with ME/CFS, but then also brings in Chronic Lyme and Gulf War Illness, and while he admits the biology is real, he concludes that even looking for biomarkers or mechanisms in a waste of time and is somehow harmful? He doesn't really explain how; he just seems to assert it on the basis of recent budget cuts (budget cuts he argued for - a very circular explanation; insert guy in hotdog costume here).
It's an extremely weird take. Never before in the history of medicine have we been able to cure or treat a disease without searching. Nobody has ever cured anything by abandoning the search.
I've said for a long time that I thought Long COVID research was being actively sabotaged, because truly understanding Long COVID would shatter society's collective denial about the ongoing pandemic. It's generally more obvious on the right, but it also comes from the left, from NGOs and people like this.
Hemos metido en el gobierno a estos paletos analfabetos que cualquier día nos hacen sacar libros a la plaza y se hacen una barbacoa.
De cerdo, eso sí.
Enhorabuena a los cómplices.

About Alan's article :
Do the people who constantly conflate CL with ME, decoupling LC from its cause and claiming it’s "too broad", "confusing" and so on, realise that they’re doing the same thing as the LC psychologisers, who also constantly try to detach LC from SARS-CoV-2 ?
English Translation of this 🔥 Reminder 🔥: #LongCOVID is clearly MULTISYSTEMIC.
Many diseases affect multiple organs and present differently across patients. This is neither an argument against biological reality nor against etiological classification.
