[Lara - Covid is Airborne @fillthewhole]

The minimising is back. Why are you lying to the public @GMB ? This isn’t a new strain. Covid hasn’t just come back this autumn. We have waves every year that you refuse to report on. Last autumn we had a huge wave, peaking in early October. More people become disabled every wave

[tern @1goodtern]

Holy flipping cow.

Symptomatic NHS staff *looking after immunocompromised patients* no longer need to test for Covid.

Absolutely astonishing.
This will kill patients.

Beyond horrifying.

📰 New article in today's Guardian:

"Abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted: there is no excuse for the way M.E. sufferers have been betrayed."

Huge thanks to George Monbiot for trying to keep this issue in the public eye. #MECFS #r4today

As the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is so far-reaching, dysautonomia symptoms (dysregulation of ANS) are so varied e.g. brain fog, vision problems, palpitations, nausea and temperature dysregulation. Many people with ME/CFS have dysautonomia. https://t.co/CqG5SO0rBT

Michelle Mone’s PPE MEDPRO was a company that was less than 3 weeks old, with zero employee’s, no contracts, no premises, no previous transactions of any kind and with £100 in the bank.

Then the Government gave it £203,000,000.

Jail, jail, jail.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals.

Tory peer @MichelleMone - who today rightly (& wonderfully) lost her legal case - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’.

What, Michelle?

For the £122 million you pocketed from taxpayers for delivering unusable PPE – at least £65 million of which went straight into your venal husband’s offshore accounts in the Isle of Man?

For being one of a small minority of corrupt grifters who saw a global pandemic as nothing more than a chance to get rich quick?

For caring more about lining your own pockets than the deaths of NHS staff & patients?

For being disgustingly cynical & avaracious - unlike all those millions of ordinary, decent Britons across the country who stepped up with such courage & decency?

I was given masks whose ear loops fell off & aprons so flimsy they ripped apart when you tried to put them on, Michelle.

Nurses and porters in our hospital died from the Covid they caught there, Michelle.

How dare you try to bleat victimisation now, Michelle?

You are the polar opposite of the values that should govern public life.

Repay what you owe & get your dishonourable form as far away from the House of Lords as possible.

Wanting to not catch a virus that has killed 40 million and caused long term disability in 400 million people already is not health anxiety.

Pretending that virus doesn't exist:
That's health anxiety.

Heaven forbid a girl hold a grudge about having her life blown to smithereens and want to prevent that for others…

FAO @DHSCgovuk @DWPgovuk.

You not only owe patients an apology but you have a MORAL DUTY to fund PHYSIOLOGICAL research into #myalgicencephalomyelitis.

You have abused patients for decades.

The #PIP cuts are all to do with #longcovid. Government has no doubt been advised on the tsunami of ill health as result of #covid and the DWP is pulling down the shutters on patients.

The government stays completely silent on long covid. LC patients are being put under the bus.

[Long Covid UK @long_covid]

We are deeply concerned by the govt’s decision to delay the ME/CFS Delivery Plan.

With data suggesting 1 in 2 people with Long Covid meet ME criteria, this has serious implications for those we support.

The govt must act now: publish the plan and fully fund its delivery.

[Zdenek Vrozina @ZdenekVrozina]

A major new review from Yale (Moen, Baker, Iwasaki, 2025) offers the most comprehensive picture yet of what SARS-CoV-2 does to the nervous system.
The conclusion is stark:
Long COVID is a chronic neuroimmune disorder affecting brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.🧵

[Royal Free 1955 @RFH1955]

This has never been about 'bad backs' and depression. The government knows full well that's there's a tsunami of #longcovid cases and this has always been about not letting the @DWPgovuk bill get much bigger.

[Darren Parkinson 🌍💚🤘 @DarrenBar88]

Cutting my #PIP & #ESA won't magically make me well again.

And so it won't get me back to work.

It will just make me poorer, and the financial strain will make me more ill.

Labour must stop #StopTheCuts.

Ok, so after that (unintentional) cliffhanger, let's talk about energy production infrastructure and post-exertional malaise (PEM) in people with infection- and exposure-associated chronic illnesses (IACIs) such as #LongCOVID, #MECFS, chronic #Lyme and more. Let's start with 1/

[Putrino Lab @PutrinoLab]

Wanted to put forward a thread about #PEM since there have been some new developments and also because I just need to get some of this out of my head and work through it. Folks with infection- and exposure-associated chronic illnesses (IACIs) like #LongCOVID, #MECFS, 1/
