Despite years of work and input from the IAG & new author group, Cochrane fails to address critical issues in its review of exercise therapy for ME/CFS. Worse, Cochrane has not followed its own stated processes & principles. Now the IAG has a message for Cochrane. www.meaction.net/2025/01/24/c...

Remember when the pandemic began and everyone started accommodating remote work? Everyone began showing brand new movies and live concerts streaming? Disabled people had been fighting for this for decades. Now it’s all taken away. It’s not that they can’t accommodate us, they just don’t want to.

It's not so much mutations spontaneously emerging in individuals that is most concerning, but the fact that flu season is ramping up, giving H5N1 more opportunities to mix with human influenza strains, @angierasmussen.bsky.social told me. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Covid19 should be declared an occupational health disease for ALL workers as in Peru. Covid is airborne and everywhere. Long COVID is going to be a major economic burden & workers should have the rights to not end up losing their livelihood from COVID. www.covid19litigation.org/news/2023/09...

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis: 1. Sufferers have lower quality-of-life than patients with heart failure, MS & end-stage renal disease. 2. Recovery is rare. 3. Treatment is often more harmful than helpful. 4. <1/3 of med schools include it in curriculum. 5. It's the NIH's least funded disease vs burden.

Reasons people say they don’t know anyone with Long Covid: They don’t listen when someone tells them They’ve shown themselves to be unsafe so people choose NOT to tell them They have Long Covid and are in deep denial You know someone with Long Covid. We all do.

Did you know that you should end your alt text with a period? "End alt text with a period, even if it isn’t a full sentence. The period ensures that the screen reader pauses after reading the alt text." This was a new tip for me. Glad to learn something new! www.nngroup.com/articles/wri...
