So, to summarise:

Long COVID can be post-infectious and still involve pathogen persistence.

The exact form of persistence may differ between patients, but the key point is that “post-infectious” does not exclude persistence.

Long COVID can involve acquired immune dysfunction without being AIDS.

Long COVID can involve functional T-cell exhaustion without being HIV.

Long COVID can involve viral reactivation without being explained by one virus.

Long COVID can involve autoimmunity without being the same autoimmune disease in every patient.

And Long COVID can be severely disabling, medically important and life-altering without needing an inaccurate comparison.

The useful distinction is not:

“Long COVID is severe, therefore it must be AIDS.”

The useful distinction is:

Long COVID may involve pathogen persistence, chronic antigenic stimulation, altered CD4/CD8 profiles, functional T-cell exhaustion, poorer antiviral control, viral reactivation, recurrent infections, autoimmunity and acquired functional immune dysfunction.

But even when these features coexist, that does not mean Long COVID follows the same final trajectory as untreated HIV progressing to AIDS.

Shared immune consequences do not mean the same final trajectory.

In current clinical language, AIDS refers to the HIV-associated syndrome of profound acquired immunodeficiency, classically driven by progressive CD4 numerical depletion or AIDS-defining illnesses.

That is not the same disease trajectory.

Clearer terminology does not minimise Long COVID.

It helps us understand it better.

I explained in more detail why Long COVID is not AIDS here:

And I explained why post-infectious disease is not new here:

If this helps clarify the terminology, feel free to save it or share it when these concepts get confused.

Not to attack anyone, but to make the conversation more precise, more useful and more scientifically grounded. 🩵

I'm receiving some concerning reports from China.

Staff at the Shanxi CDC estimate that 2,000 people have been infected with H5N1, with 300 deaths.

An insider at the Mainland CDC confirmed human cases and fatalities but said the exact numbers remain unclear. /1

Si crees que tienes un trauma, la ciencia dice que no empezó contigo.

Los traumas no curados no desaparecen sin más, sino que se transmiten a través del ADN en forma de autosabotaje, ciclos de fracaso y relaciones tóxicas.

Esto es lo que dice la ciencia sobre el trauma generacional (y cómo romper el ciclo):🧵

Many years ago I claimed covid was damaging the immune system

I did have confidence it would be consensus soon

Now it's in Science, published unequivocally

Where are the people that promised it didn't?

NEW ARTICLE: IVERMECTIN and FIBROMYALGIA Testimonial - Five days into an unprecedented way of treating a severely debilitating disease. A little Christmas miracle

A patient came to me before Christmas with a very severe case of Fibromyalgia.

I suggested a special "trial"

Ivermectin 24mg once a day for 3-4 weeks.

Here are the first 5 days. I suggest reading the patient's entire testimonial but here is an excerpt:

"Dr. Makis, today I sat and cried. I think it's helping!!!!

Yesterday, I was able to go from 8 Tramadol to 5. Today, thus far, I've only taken two. We can't think of another day, in likely a decade, when I've only taken two Tramadol.

I also haven't used any Oxycodone (5mg) since I started this trial. I'm currently on day 5.

Day one, I immediately saw an improvement of the debilitating fatigue, but assumed it was placebo.

Day 2, the same thing happened.

By day 3, it happened again, but I realized it wasn't just the severe fatigue diminishing, it was a noticeable improvement in the also severe brain fog. It was like a haze was lifted from over my eyes.

It was then that I realized that the feeling of electricity coursing through my veins was also significantly improved-at least during the day.

It was still present at night, but again, not so badly that I had to resort to extra Tramadol or Oxy.

In fact, the most Tramadol I have taken since starting this was 7 and it's decreased each day.

As I write this, I'm crying again.

It's extremely difficult to believe this may actually help."

====

Some testimonials really do speak for themselves, and I share this one with you with tremendous joy.

Treating Fibromyalgia with Ivermectin 24mg once daily for 2-4 weeks.

Why am I sharing this “first 5 days testimonial”?

Because it may help someone who is suffering and feeling hopeless.

And because it’s incredibly, beautifully detailed.

I’m being attacked a great deal lately on Twitter or @X. Some of you may have seen it.

I suspect Alberta Health Services @AHS_Media has paid new people to attack me in the past week or two. Alberta taxpayer dollars at work, as usual.

It’s strange to say, but I genuinely believe there are many in our government and healthcare system who don’t want patients to get better. They want people to stay sick.

Alberta Premier @ABDanielleSmith has been very pro "Big Pharma" for her entire term in office (protecting contaminated COVID-19 Vaccines for example), which may be why doctors like myself are being treated so horribly and attacked so viciously in Alberta.

But the testimonials will keep coming…😃

The Alberta government may hate me but patients from around the world have my back. And I have theirs.

Corrupt politicians come and go.

But I'm here to make a difference in people's lives.

No one is going to stop me from doing that.

Chronic fatigue isn't normal.

Yet most people accept being half-alive, drowning themselves in coffee just to make it through another day.

This stops today.

Our new study shows that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein accumulates & persists in the body for years after infection, especially in the skull-meninges-brain axis, potentially driving long COVID. mRNA vaccines help but cannot stop it🔬🧠🦠🧵👇@cellhostmicrobe https://t.co/IEGx7HIrXf

Long COVID is disappearing, and replaced by fatigue, fever, shortness of breath, pounding heart, chest pain, joint or muscle pain, rash, diarrhea, changes in menstrual cycle, changes in smell or taste, headache, depression, sleep disorder, memory loss, poor concentration, and IQ decline.

"You're obsessed with COVID."

Yes, since it interferes with my ability to live, I am obsessed with it. Like I am obsessed with breathing, having access to water and food, and other capricious eccentricities. I'm weird like that.

Since 1964 the FDA knew DMSO was a miracle therapy for many "incurable" autoimmune diseases. Yet they banned it and no amount of evidence could change their mind.
@MidwesternDoc's articles convinced us to try DMSO and what we've seen it do is incredible.

"New Covid XEC symptom 'severely impacts daily functioning' warns doctor"

Dr Snieguole Geige: "The most common symptom we're observing is an intense and persistent fatigue that seems to linger longer than with previous variants."

"The most serious symptom is the potential for sudden, acute respiratory failure in individuals who may have previously only experienced mild to moderate symptoms."
