More than 3 years in, with tens of millions of people still suffering, this is the comprehensive list of validated treatments for #LongCovid, as established through rigorous, randomized clinical trials

You may have heard the shocking headline that 250,000 people die every year in the US due to misdiagnosis in the ER.

You may be even more shocked to know that this statistic is extrapolated from the death of...

just one man.

in a Canadian ER.

over a decade ago.

[Prof. Akiko Iwasaki @VirusesImmunity]

@cstroeckw Many thanks to you and other patient advocates, this pandemic has propelled me to investigate the pathobiology of #longCOVID, #MECFS and #longLyme 🙏🏼 If enough people do the same, we can change how society and medicine view post-acute infection syndromes.
