Very interesting blog to follow about everything epidemiology from @ylepidemiologist.bsky.social

Really proud of this piece. Grateful to Avalyn, Rowan and Sarah for sharing their stories. It's a national scandal that long Covid patients have been forgotten by the government, employers & society at large. The least we can do is keep talking about them www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Action items with measles cases growing: If you’re unvaccinated, get vaccinated. It won’t provide instant protection. • takes about 2 weeks to develop memory immunity after vaccination. • measles virus has a long incubation period. measles cases today were infected several weeks ago. 1/

NPR: 'It's the 5th anniversary of the COVID pandemic and we want to hear your experiences' 'How did life change for you?' 'We want to hear from you' 'Please fill out the form below and an NPR producer may be in contact for an upcoming story’ www.npr.org/2025/02/28/g...

There is no cure for measles and no vitamin or supplement that prevents measles or its complications. There is a vaccine that is up to 99% effective at preventing measles infection, though.

They're feeling more and more comfortable doing nazi-like things out in the open which is very scary.

Thank you @scishow.bsky.social for putting a spotlight on people with #MECFS!

New York Times: “How Did Covid Change Your Life?” ‘The New York Times wants to hear from readers reflecting on what life looks like now, five years later’ www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/u...

Betroffene von #MECFS haben mit der #LemonChallengeMECFS 🍋 eine Initiative ins Leben gerufen, die ins Bewusstsein rufen soll, was sonst oft gar nicht sichtbar ist. Dabei unterstütze ich gern. Denn solche Aktionen erinnern uns daran: Es geht nicht nur um Zahlen oder Diagnosen. Es geht um Menschen.

A sympathetic Australian researcher @danielmissailidis.bsky.social has put out an appeal this week for a few more volunteers in VIC for some biomedical research he is doing #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #MEcfs #CFS #PwME

1) For those who might not have heard: The famous study 'on being sane in insane places' by Rosenhan was probably scientific fraud. It reported that 8 normal people claiming to hear voices were admitted in psychiatric hospitals and given diagnoses such as schizophrenia.
