good riddance to this twice-fired loser
once you get diagnosed with anything that has the word "syndrome" in it your quality of life is about to drop dramatically
This is the world that RFK Jr dreamed of—now that he runs the US health system he’s able to achieve his dreams each & every day, aided & abetted by Drs Bhattacharya, Makary, Høeg, Kulldorff, Prasad & Oz
We can’t rebuild the devastation until all 7 of these federal health agency leaders are gone
i saw one a while back where someone claimed their long covid was actually just a cat allergy and they're better now. the nerve it takes to go into a support group full of suffering, bedridden people and say "see you later suckers, I'm not sick like you!" is more common that i wanted to believe.
Spent all night on the bathroom floor being sick and anyway i think God should be in jail
$170B in lost wages and we're still calling this a "health story." It's a labor story. A productivity-obsessed economy that spent 2021-2023 telling sick people to push through created a disability crisis it now has zero infrastructure to absorb.
Rates of death and disability from any virus are irrelevant if they are preventable.
Any debate about percentages that does not first accept the need to prevent are just debates about how many people to allow to die and suffer so existing societal norms can remain mostly undisturbed.
Bloomberg: How Covid Quietly Rewires the Brain
Researchers keep discovering more about the long-term neurological effects of SARS-CoV-2.

don't worry, RFK is in charge of curing long covid! I'm sure he's taking the job very seriously and not laughing at the people who are suffering!
They think mass death is funny because they hate you
And it is hard being a person with Long Covid because we are a constant reminder of this failure. We make everyone uncomfortable just by existing and by still being sick. Our abandonment by (most) medical professionals and by the government is part of this memory-holing.
when you have only so much cognitive energy to expend, you don’t necessarily want to spend it explaining your new chronic illness to someone who maintains covid is over
must be nice to live in a world where covid is only a cultural problem and not a medical one
The absence of biomarkers makes it easier for bad actors to erase us.
Everyone sick for longer than a year doesn't exist to them because if you didn't recover it means sickness was your inevitable fate, virus or no. "we did a scientific study and it turns out you were born under a bad star"
Its easy to resolve that the complete consolidation of all HHS jobs around the same 5-6 people is more insular-ideology-by-convenience... because there is no one else willing to be part of this insanity.
his job at the NIH consists of nothing but appearing on podcasts, whining, and lying to the senate. this isn't an increase in his workload, this is just another line to add to his resume
Crucial paper published Friday that deserves much more attention in the #LongCOVID world: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
TLDR: 13/15 immunocompromised patients who had chronic COVID infections (>200 days) cleared the virus in under 2 weeks when given combo antivirals/monoclonals

It's easy to be concerned about vaccines when you stop being concerned about viruses. You can only stop being concerned about viruses in a world with vaccines.
The firestorm continues 😔.
There are so many reports of EBV being a trigger for #ME & studies showing viral reactivation being part of the picture for #IACC - a sad day for science.
“Patients are just happy to be believed.” NO. That talking point accomplishes nothing but soothing healthy people into thinking somehow any of this is okay. The care is beyond inadequate. I have never needed someone to confirm my own lived experiences. I need medical treatment. #MECFS #LongCovid
This man is the head of Health and Human Services
The people in the Covid-conscious community knew that Prasad was a crook as soon as he compared Covid mitigation measures to the Nazi regime.
He was promoted because of his minimization of Covid. Meanwhile the doctors who followed the science are unknown by the general public.
I personally think it's bad that every friend I have in a marginalized group is up-to-the-minute informed on which criminals belong to his, her, or their intersection and can accurately and immediately predict the ways the association will be used to harm them
This is exactly in his character. He's a trained oncologist who mocked people for masking for funsies. You know, a field that is generally more alarmed by patients getting infectious diseases.

Life comes at you fast, New York Post edition.
Propaganda does not alter the behavior of a virus.
millions of people have long covid and there is no cure. people are taking precautions because they have lived experience of complications. they're not extremists, they're just living in the uncomfortable reality that others are scared to acknowledge.

watching the Olympics, the announcers casually mention that a gold medalist had to take a year off from skiing because of "covid complications."
there are so many of us affected. it's a global problem no one wants to address. she was lucky to bounce back.
Documents show RFK Jr lied to Congress about his agenda in Samoa—he did indeed go to spread anti-scientific doubts about vaccines. He was ultimately successful in getting an outbreak going there that killed 83 people, mostly babies and young children.
Like so many said from the start, because this is not new, but the defining feature of this era is to never listen to people who predict things accurately, and instead promote the people who got it completely wrong, and health care is no different at that.
