TIME: 'What It’s Like to Have Long COVID As a Kid'

'It started when my brain gave out on me in algebra class one January day in 2022. I couldn’t figure out a simple math problem..'

As part of our Triple Giving November campaign, we are excited to share an interview with David Systrom, MD, discussing a muscle biopsy study to understand the molecular mechanisms behind post-exertional malaise (PEM).

“Matthew Fitzgerald, a 28-year-old former engineer at Tesla, described his #LongCovid impairment during a clinic visit: ‘I’m a shell of myself. My physical issues aren’t half as bad as my brain problems. You can say brain fog, but that doesn’t come close to doing it justice.’”

Smartphones Ruined Your Eyesight. Lockdowns Ruined Your Heart. Vaccines Ruined Your Whatever Stops Strokes. Remote Work Ruined Your Posture. Airpods Ruined Your Hearing. All During A Pandemic Which Didn’t Harm You At All. What Bad Luck.

This story is one of the most disturbing I've ever covered. It's about how the views of a deeply weird ideological sect affected science, medicine and the media, with devastating impacts on patients. Please read and pass on. This horror has to stop. https://t.co/qVjkbiGQY3

ICYMI. This is a 15-minute documentary by @GrantWakefield4 on #LongCovid. It captures the story the brave Rosie who has had Long Covid for 3 years and her father @baldypidge , with commentary on the science of Long Covid from me

An elegant @Nature study by @AkassoglouLab has illuminated our understanding of the role of fibrin (component of blood clots), #SARSCoV2, and brain inflammation in Covid and #LongCovid.
This discovery and more in the new Ground Truths podcast, with transcript, key figures (such as as the one below) and citations. Open-access. Link in my profile.

“The American Medical Association’s top journal, JAMA, in August published a key new study and editorial about pediatric #LongCovid. The editorial cites several robust analyses and concludes that.. LC symptoms appear to occur after about 10-20% of pediatric infections.”

Comment in a Guardian column by author, journalist, and activist George Monbiot, about scientists who are promoting a biopsychosocial approach to #MECFS and who have closed ranks to defend flawed science.

[PolyBio @polybioRF]

PolyBio director Amy Proal & scientists David Putrino, Chris DuPont & Marcello Freire were in attendance at last night’s Cohen Foundation meeting. They deliberated on new solutions in #LongCovid #Lyme+ and #MECFS .

Important 🧵on our new peer-reviewed paper:

The pandemic is as bad as it ever was for babies - in year to Aug 2023, 6,300 babies under 1 were admitted to hospital wholly or partly BECAUSE of Covid.

They are ONLY age group where admissions have NOT gone down over time 1/17

[Brain Inflammation Collaborative @BrainInflCollab]

A new @23andMeResearch study found 3 gene regions enriched in those with #longCOVID.

They were also enriched in those with:
- #Fibromyalgia
- #MECFS
- #Lupus
(among other conditions)

These findings could help us understand the causes of Long COVID...🧵

New @CMIJournal study showing association between post-acute SARS-CoV-2 protein in blood and #LongCOVID. Data from 4 cohorts, including #NIHRECOVER and @UCSF #LIINC. Need more research ASAP to see if useful as a biomarker for trials!
