5. Dr Z Cassimjee patients on dialysis using information from social media rather than their doctors less likely to vaccinate🙈6. @SthembileVM researching long Covid after her own nasty experience with long Covid. 31% long Covid if hospitalised and 9% if not. Decrease over time
Superb recognition of @ShabirMadh leadership and excellence during the #COVID19 pandemic (and indeed for his many contributions to health & wellbeing of all) 👏👏👏

Preparing for my invited talk on Thrombotic Endothelialitis in #LongCovid today, at the @SiemensHealth event in Rome: Haemostasis Science Days. Let’s make a difference, let’s find solutions for #LongCovid diagnosis and treatment!
@MercedesAMGF1@LewisHamilton How can you be praising these terrible results! We have not worn a race since 2021!!! Come on pull your socks and fix the car!!!!!
Aspirin 75 mg daily, Plavix 75 mg daily and apixaban 5 mg twice a day were used in this cohort of 91 pts with #LongCovid: per Table 3, 63 patients no longer reported fatigue after treatment. I have a lot of questions... Looking forward to reading this paper after peer-review.

Science is crazy....there is no way a person would want to cause harm to themself. Anyways, good luck to the investigators!! Have they described their exclusion and inclusion criteria? Vaccination state?
For cross reference, I especially like seeing when multiple research teams results provide corroborating evidence, even when they’re not in communication but both all studying #LongCOVID
Data from @ONS published today
♦️2 MILLION people have #LongCovid, 3% of the UK population
♦️1.8M 12 weeks+
♦️1.2m 1 year+
♦️687k or 35% unwell for 2 years+ ⬆️ 6.5%
♦️1.5m adversely impacted
♦️380k severely affected
#LongCovid is not going away and must be made a priority
In speed train on my way from Nagoya to Tokyo, Japan then back to South Africa tomorrow. EVERYONE masked, see-through screens at restaurant tables and at university lecture halls. Ventilation everywhere. They are taking COVID seriously.
The theme #ScienceforSocialJustice will unpack how science as a social justice tool has responded and continues to respond to challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, and discusses how science is connected to greater social issues. #WSF_ZA2022
