People with long covid - has the libelous Wired article created problems related to your healthcare? Has your doctor pushed brain retraining or told you it's all in your head? Has your insurance denied a claim? Reach out to me. I am exploring class action options.

[࿐ Alba ࿐ @AlbaDocherty]

@WIRED You hired a dork with a doctorate in fairy tales to write a ridiculous piece about Long Covid.

How very fucking typical of all of you. 🥱

Covid gets into every part of ur body n doesn't leave. Covid causes long term damage. It can be passed asymptomatic too n is airborne. Long covid is the number one chronic illness in children and growing. Immune-damaging organ-damaging brain-damaging n ongoing. Prevent it. N95

@DEC0L0NIZE @WittyVitale I had to settle for a non CC therapist and she is wonderful. After having 3 (three) fake CC clinicians from the Covid “CONSCIOUS” website I folded.

[En(during COVID) @DEC0L0NIZE]

hey, can someone direct me to a cc therapist in california who accepts insurance? a bonus if they are black or brown.

@holo_cene @ktho641521 I think you’re fine. I’d be worried if it was an MMR or flu vaccine.

Does the brain always return to baseline after COVID?
A new multimodal MRI study suggests the answer may be - not always.
After infection, some brains may remain in a different network state - and we still do not know if that state is temporary, compensatory, or maladaptive🧵

@AgathasSapphic That sucks but don’t let that ruin your day. I have had two people in a day something about my mask as well. Fuck em is all I can say.

Are Long Coviders Just Trying To Keep The Pandemic Vibe Alive

[David It Up! @Dave_it_up]

We’re a primary care practice in Vermont. We implemented a practice-wide protocol screening every patient at every encounter for recent SARS-CoV-2 infection history. What we’re observing in our panel is not consistent with a psychosomatic framework.

We’re seeing measurable, objective increases in new-onset hypertension, acute cardiovascular events, new-onset allergic disease, and new-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus, all temporally correlated with infection history. These are not symptom reports. These are clinical findings.

[࿐ Alba ࿐ @AlbaDocherty]

Watching the #MECFSCult go after Levinovitz is...something. "Does anyone know who his agent is?" 🤡 Look in the mirror!

This is on all of you who supported Long Covid research being STOLEN & DERAILED because you thought it would benefit YOU.

Take a bow, geniuses. Great job.

@AlanLevinovitz @zeynep @MeganTStevenson This isn't real, either

[Robert 😷 Long COVID 6 🇨🇦🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈 @Rob_DeRosa]

.@AlanLevinovitz Six years into #LongCOVID, with growing evidence of immune dysfunction, viral persistence, autonomic dysfunction, and neuroinflammation, a professor of religion writes a 10,000-word article on the disease and concludes that the real mystery is patient belief systems and that brain retraining deserves more attention.

The conclusions are remarkably consistent with the author’s questionable academic interests.

The ending was spoiled in the author bio.

To @WIRED: As a publication that covers science, medicine, and technology, perhaps your next Long COVID feature should be one that is actually grounded in science, medicine, and technology.

And perhaps written by a virologist, an immunologist, a neurologist, in the very least someone who is actually engaged in clinical research? What next? A full length feature from a physiotherapist who argues PEM is definitive evidence that LC = MECFS?

A disease affecting millions upon millions worldwide deserves reporting grounded in biomedical science, not a 10,000-word meditation on patient maladaptive belief systems and brain retraining.

My suggestion is you may wish to retract this article - or in the least run an opposing editorial in your next edition unless your ultimate plan was to not only lose millions of readers but also recklessly spread harmful misinformation that further amplifies narratives that downplay the biological reality of Long COVID, continues to put patients at risk of being dismissed by clinicians, denied appropriate care and support, and pushed toward ineffective interventions instead of evidence-based research and treatment.

All of this has lasting and very serious consequences for patients and in the most severe cases, without hyperbole, is a matter of life and death.

WIRED reaches about 30M ppl monthly. It's readership skews heavily toward affluent, college-educated urbanites. They gained 62k new subscribers in two weeks w/DOGE coverage, so the current subscriber base is policy-engaged. These are the sort of folks who might sit on tech company boards, work in venture capital, advise on health policy, run foundations, make funding allocation decisions, or decide whether you can work from home or not.

It's also a demographic unlikely to have personal experience with severe illness and who are very likely to find a "the brain can fix it" story intellectually appealing. The article resonates with tech-sector's love of optimization, neurohacking, and the idea that the right mindset can solve problems. It's no accident that this incredibly minimizing drivel was published in WIRED, aimed at exactly this audience.

Levinovitz's academic specialty is how narrative shapes belief. He crafted this story with tons of contextual and factual omissions, by cherry picking data for his clear bias, and by pretending as though shills and anonymous anecdotes pull the same evidentiary weight as legit research.

But let's be clear: Levinovitz, and ppl like him, are only able to get away with this nonsense because Long Covid science, media, and advocacy has been stolen and fully data poisoned by extraordinarily dishonest grift that has decimated the ability of Long Covid to obtain engaged, biomedical research and biomarkers.

Levinovitz, while certainly not innocent here, is simply taking advantage of the trashed Long Covid research landscape that govt & their mecfs puppets have spent years and $2B building - right in front of your very silent face.

Direct your fury where it belongs, for once. Long Covid should have miles of quality biomedical research, biomarkers, and even a targeted treatment or few by now. YES, WE SHOULD. Spin artists like Levinovitz are not the reason that we don't.
