A tumultuous 24-ish hours since our preprint was released yesterday. I mentioned that this was a fraught issue and I genuinely do understand that people have mixed feelings about the work. I wanted to take some time to respond to some of the concerns and comments that have 1/

Dianna @physicsgirl keeps showing us that there is hope for the millions of people suffering out there after infections. To everyone affected by #LongCovid and #MECFS, recovery can be slow, but it is possible! Don't give up! ❤️‍🩹

I paid close attention to AJ Leonardi in the other place. Right from the get go he hammered on about T cell damage. So many people tried to discredit him (looking at you Zeynap). But I believe his observations have substance. #ImmunityLost Great read from @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

Stories like this have been reported for years about Roblox, and yet they are not held accountable. Banning social media for under 16 year olds, but allowing the most harmful game for young children full of child abusers.

If you have had Covid and it has harmed you long term, and you want to avoid catching Covid again because the medical evidence is that further infections may harm you further... that's not Health Anxiety, that's Health Common Sense.
