No more dangerous that those who said Long Covid patients developed ME/CFS. Lmao.

In a race against time to save the cognition of millions, those who drew parallels to ME/CFS find themselves the tortoise and a protein operating mechanistically as HIV's Tat, the hare.

Kenneth Podell had it all figured out when he advanced the hypothesis individuals would live with the functional equivalent of HIV Associated Neurocognitive Decline on September 29th, 2020.

Resistance and different viral loads are a good start.

Victims of the ME/CFS narrative as they have developed Cryptosporidiosis, not observed in ME/CFS.

Among our biggest failings in drawing parallels to ME/CFS is that there is zero science behind durably suppressing an individual to prevent forward and vertical transmission. As if a Treatment as Prevention strategy is possible five years in. That's just hilarious.

Anyone who reads prescribing guidelines questions how many will be able to initiate and maintain an antiviral regimen and who will be left to die.

They are actually different conditions or children would not be dying an AIDS death as they are.

Where did we go wrong? Allowing a little ol' virus that carries the hallmark of a chronic HIV infection to successfully prey upon the emotions, biases, and prejudices of an untold that resulted in an emotional response so strong that it prevented the scientific response we were deserving of.

No reason to wear sunglasses to prevent being blinded by the bright future this country has after having drawn parallels to ME/CFS. I sure hope little Timmy remembers to wash his fingers before he eats and after he used them to paint.

I recently spoke with Dr. Erdik about this paper. We knew this was coming in October of 2021, if one considers the work of Kenneth Podell who advanced the idea individuals would live with the functional equivalent of HIV Associated Neurocognitive Decline.
