How to make #longcovid cases go down๐Ÿงต 1. Never mention LC, so many people dont know it exists. A new diagnosis- why would that possibly be due to Covid? 2. Convince people that vaccines will protect against any LC that does exist - now those new symptoms can't possibly be LC

We need to stop thinking of doctors as scientists. Most med school courses contain little to no raw, detailed science. Most doctors don't do their own research or keep up to date with science journals. Most of those that do only do so in their specialist area. 1/2

What really gets me about covid conscious people being called "anxious" is it frames us as pathological. Like we have an abnormal reaction when really it's totally proportionate to the risk- it's not an illness its just logic-based fear. WE are not the abnormal ones.

@louisenewman7 I haven't come across it, no. I do believe in some cases long covid-like conditions can be caused by the vaccine, though the risk is much lower than with covid infection. My other suspicion would be that vaccination can worsen pre-existing, perhaps even subclinical long covid.

@UKHSA This is appalling. The only thing worse than a vaccine-only strategy is a vaccine-only strategy without most people even getting boosted. Each infection increases risk of hospitalisation, LC and death! This is directly harming the whole UK population. There is no science here.

So SARS2 increases risk of autoimmune conditions. It likely also means if you are predisposed, you will develop it earlier than without SARS2 infection. The problem with this is some drugs to treat these conditions increase in risk the longer they are taken 1/?

It's traumatising. It's soul-destorying. It changes you. In the media it would be more than enough to make a villain. But I'm expected to just shut up and let it happen? By everyone I loved, by my uni, by my own doctors? And all I can do is yell about it on the bird app. 3/3

@sonas893 Yup. I'm not the one prescribing them but I imagine it's a combination of pressure from the patients and the doctors not knowing what else to try. In some cases there could be a secondary bacterial infection so they figure it's worth a shot maybe?

Friend thanked me profusely for all this info. 3 months later her kid has been hospitalised 3 more times. In photos there's not a mask in site and they're still indoors in crowds. I feel so sorry for the kid, but I've done all I can ๐Ÿ’” (3/3)

Okay cool we got the Tories out. Now can we address the fact that there's an ongoing pandemic that continues to disable thousands every week?? Bc Labour haven't once mentioned this in their election campaign and yall need to get ready to hold them to account. #Elections2024

You can lead a horse to water... ๐Ÿงต I noticed a few months back an old friend on fb who's kid is in and out of hospital- any resp illness at all their sats drop and they're admitted. I tentatively reached out and said they are ways that might help them get sick less often (1/)

@beansprouts_mom To me it reads that people with uncontrolled HIV are having milder symptoms. Lower CD4 count and detectable virus implies it is not adequately suppressed by antivirals in these patients. That's not to say PrEP couldn't help too, but just not what this seems to say.

And then to have all your family, your friends, your old teachers, your idols- everyone you ever trusted- not only participate in causing that harm but to gaslight you about it. To tell you that your basic human rights haven't been ripped from you. There are no words. 2/2

@LCNMUK @carolvorders It would help if remaining NHS staff did more to fight against the removal of mask mandates in hospitals. PPE is just as necessary now as it was then and LC is still a huge risk. #KeepMasksInHealthCare

My blue badge renewal took 30 weeks to be approved, due to "exceptionally high" demand according to the council. Blue badges just get you closer, wider parking spaces. There's no money or time off work perks. Britain doesn't have a sick note culture. Britain is sick.

Sick of seeing people list all the ways the Tories have hurt us whilst walking around unmasked, perpetuating that harm. #CovidIsntOver #WearAMask #Elections2024 #GeneralElection2024 #ToriesCostLives

Struggling to have any kind of continuity with my healthcare teams as they forget convos and goals from one appt to the next. Having the same convos 3-4 times with friends and family. It's just getting insanely frustrating especially when they don't seem aware of it.

Yes, most people havent been given the info to make an informed decision about Covid. But some people DO know the science and still choose to take massive risks with their health. At what point can it be considered self harm- akin to smoking despite known risks? #wearamask

Hate that if I want to see family I have to do 10+ risk calculations to work out the best methods and times to try and not get infected by it. Meanwhile I have very elderly, frail relatives who I feel more guilty about not seeing daily. I feel like I can't win.
