Devastating news for the ME community today. We have lost another incredible human with #verysevereME. My friend and comrade Sammy Lincroft. Aged 25 and with a wealth of knowledge and wisdom around ME, social justice, mutual aid, interconnected struggles and so much more 💔

[Jeroen den Dunnen @DrDenDunnen]

Shocked to see that that on #ECI2024, one of the world's largest immunology conferences, there isn't a single session on #LongCovid or #MECFS. How did this happen @EFIS_Immunology? We need immunologists to crack this puzzle! We must do better next time. https://t.co/ujU8Q8FASA

Millions of us were left disappointed by the Oasis ticket sale this weekend.

But this is nothing new for disabled gig-goers.

Disabled fans are routinely let down by the live music industry 🎸

Many have had to go through stressful and unnecessary appeals processes for the benefits they are entitled to.

Our research found that 72% of people who go to tribunal over their PIP decisions are given benefits.

[Scope @scope]

These assessments can be exhausting 😩

The benefits system has been failing disabled people for years. A lot of the issues have stemmed from initial appointments, and assessors getting benefits decisions wrong 🧵

Life costs more for disabled people. Negative attitudes make life harder. Too many of us are denied the chance to work. And the disability benefits system is broken. Join me in becoming a @scope campaigner to change this. https://t.co/2fiNA3zbGk

@DALupton @derby29030 #longcovidclubderby Totally insulting to humanity that we lose the choice to protect
To go through a pandemic once is life, to open up to the same #covid virus is the sign of pure madness expecting a different outcome?

The University of California is banning masks in the middle of one of the largest summer COVID surges of the pandemic. Unacceptable.

“It horrifies me that if l choose to wear a mask I’m questioned by my colleagues and patients"

61% nurses are concerned about the impact of #Covid on health and care services

A similar proportion say there are no prevention measures in their workplaces.

With so many people getting Covid amidst the current significant wave, there's lack of awareness about the vulnerability to develop or worsen #LongCovid

Genuinely: for penny pinching reasons, the UK government has decided to use last year's covid vaccine this autumn for the most vulnerable, even though it's thought to be 1/3 less effective at preventing serious disease https://t.co/b1UjYq7Bya

[Dr. Sean Mullen @drseanmullen]

If I could choose just four studies out of the over 500 I’ve reviewed to convince you to take precautions from SARS-CoV-2, the following would be on my list:

1. The Lancet just published a compelling study of >16 million people demonstrating the risk of type 2 diabetes after COVID-19 was significantly higher in unvaccinated individuals compared to vaccinated ones. Hospitalized COVID-19 patients faced a dramatically higher risk of developing diabetes, which declined over time but remained elevated. Most importantly, 60% of those diagnosed with type 2 diabetes after COVID-19 continued to have the condition 4 months later (https://t.co/U08gHQoyuJ).

2. A study in The New England Journal of Medicine from February (2024) shows alarming accelerated cognitive decline in all individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2, even after a recovery period (https://t.co/B6gjgSRA8Y).

3. A preprint on macaque monkeys reveals that even mild and asymptomatic cases of COVID-19 can lead to the formation of Lewy bodies post-infection (https://t.co/01pUt1J8Wx). Moreover, a peer-reviewed study on rhesus monkeys showed an equally disturbing increased presence of tau proteins, in all monkeys (https://t.co/K2u4gjIuCJ).

4. The 2007 SARS1 mouse study, which is crucial for understanding the potential severity of coronavirus infections. No mouse survived beyond the 16th serial passage, a phenomenon we refer to as the "rule of 15" or the “passthrough rule.” This shows evidence of the evolutionary process and the dangers of allowing it to spread unabated (https://t.co/H0SC7a5Yqi).

Given the compelling evidence from these studies alone (with intentional omission of the immune dysfunction, elevated cardiac/stroke risk and gut problems), it should be clear as day, that this virus is NOT by any means “mild.” It can do lasting damage on the metabolic system and central nervous system which impairs everyday physical and cognitive functioning. It can cause performance errors and incapacity to work. It’s dangerous and threatens our way of life.

The public has been lied to and cleaning indoor air, masking indoors and vaccinating against SARS-CoV-2 are essential public health measures.

Note that I’ve left out studies showing increased risk rising with repeated infection, and I’ve omitted studies showing the efficacy of precautions… because people don’t take precautions unless they agree that infection poses a serious concern. And until now, we are fighting survival bias and people who think “brain fog” is some kind of rite of passage to immunity.

People don’t understand brain fog from SARS2 is brain damage. People also don’t understand that not being hospitalized isn’t some kind of gold star participation award that keeps you free of lifelong effects from pathogens that can persist in your blood, bone and organs. Until they understand what they’re doing to their bodies and brains, they’ll take zero action. Explain it to them, before it’s too late.

The U.S. is hovering around 900,000 daily infections.

Nearly 2% of the U.S. population is actively infectious with COVID. Ultimately, such infections are expected to result in >40,000 new daily #LongCovid cases.

So, I am redoing my annual BSL-3 facility training, and this is how we have to dress to work with #SARSCoV2 in the Lab. I am investigating the same strain that is circulating everywhere, Omicron variants KP.2 and KP.3. What do you think? 🙇
