I did not contract Covid 19, partially because of you Professor Doherty, vigilence and educated risk to stay sane 🎶.

Thank you. I believed I had a propensity for long Covid. Do you believe that 🇦🇺should have Covid 19 boosters? Do you know of any reliable written artical about Covid 19 boosters?

... if we're lucky. Given that a large part of the state apparatus for detecting and reacting to a public heath crisis has been dismantled...

“If the dice lands wrong and it is you or someone you love next, you will hope – at the very least – there will be help on the way. That Long Covid sufferers know there won’t is not simply the pandemic’s dark shadow, but its mark of shame.”

Thank you Dr Frances Ryan 🩵🩶🖤

Christ almighty, don't read the comments.

I think some of the worst ones have been removed.

That's even more depressing. The ones that are left are bad enough.

At last, a single (great) article in a main stream newspaper about Long Covid. Thank you @francesryan.bsky.social .

When will ministers and more of the medical profession acknowledge the debilitating impact of this disease - on children, adults of working age, older people, education and economy?

Nice to see a column in the guardian telling the truth on long covid. Their messaging has been quite inconsistent when it comes to Covid news. Thankfully, Dr Frances Ryan is well informed and has made it to print, so credit where credit’s due
