ich zweifle sehr den Inhalt dieser Meldung und die Aussagen des Virologen an. Kinder sind, durch Long/Post-COVID, eine Risikogruppe!
Die Folgeerkrankungen nach einer Infektion (oder multipler) sind durch mannigfaltige Studien gezeigt worden - auch bei Kindern.

Dear Editor,

With recent cuts to funding linked to COVID-19 and pandemic readiness, the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has proclaimed it “will no longer waste billions of taxpayer dollars responding to a non-existent pandemic that Americans moved on from years ago”. While devastating for researchers and the many who continue to suffer from COVID-19, including long COVID, this move should perhaps be unsurprising in a world where “after COVID” and “post COVID” are common parlance, including within our public health community. This language is confounding not only because COVID-19 straightforwardly remains a threat, but also because one would be hard-pressed to find anyone similarly willing to say “post AIDS”, for example, despite AIDS being first recognized nearly half a century ago, or “post Ebola”, despite the two Ebola public health emergencies of international concern (PHEIC) ending years ago.

Even the language of “post pandemic” confuses the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency of international concern in May 2023 with the end of the pandemic, the latter being something that is not formally declared and remains contestable. Irrespective of where one stands on this point, the metaphysical questions of what constitutes a pandemic and exactly when one ends is less important than the risk communication question of whether using the language of “post COVID”, “post pandemic”, or even “back during COVID” obscures risk perception and contributes to an unwitting shift in research priorities. Unless we wish to move on from COVID in research, we must not imply we have moved on from COVID through our language.

Huge cuts at NIOSH mean that those who reply on respirators to keep themselves safe will have less protection. This impacts firefighters, miners, healthcare workers and all manner of industries.

It’s also devastating to the disability community.

“You do you” Covid policies left many of us with N95s as our main line of defence against repeat infection.

Respirators make public spaces accessible. They allow us to attend healthcare appointments without forced infection.

Cutting the people who ensure their quality will endanger disabled lives.

New study shows that COVID may damage your immune system for a year post infection.

This is the problem with ignoring a pandemic in favour of a “you do you” approach.

There’s so much Covid that most people get it at least once per year. Their immune systems don’t have time to recover before they become infected again.

Disability advocates have been screaming about this for years. We beg people to mask up for their own protection and to make public spaces safer and more accessible for us.

We don’t yet know what the long term prognosis will be after 5, 10 or 15+ infections.

Wear a mask. Clean and ventilate the air. Do your part to minimize the spread.

Some highlights from @ducky 's weekly roundup at https://covidbc.webfoot.com/2025/03/28/2025-03-28-general/

SARS-CoV-2 can interact with / activate the CD147 receptor to get into lymphocytes (T-cells and B-cells). (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2319417023000872)

women are 13.4 times more likely to get Long COVID if they are 🤰pregnant than if they are 🚫🤰not, with the danger highest if they catch COVID-19 in the third trimester. (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0002937825001474)

the rate of cases of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) has gone up more than fourteen times compared to pre-pandemic (https://academic.oup.com/ehjqcco/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/ehjqcco/qcae111/7945206)

Hell, even if someone wants to wear a mask to avoid pollen (due to hayfever) that should be okay!

And it should definitely be okay to wear a mask to avoid a virus! (flu, Covid, etc)

Long Covid will cost the economy trillions of dollars. The economic devastation of a mass disabling event can not be overstated.

Yet more funding has been cut, including to a project that was nearing completion.

The reason? Its a “waste of time”

The only reason to believe this is because you don’t care about Covid, you certainly don’t care about Long Covid and you’re preparing to leave the chronically ill behind.

This is why respirators need to be mandatory in hospitals.

Babies, people with certain disabilities & some health conditions need others to mask to protect them.

This hospital shouldn’t be “scrambling”. Make masks mandatory & protect patients and staff.

Clean & ventilate the air too!

It’s International Long Covid Awareness Day, and my latest article looks at the reasons why people believe they don’t know anyone with Long Covid.

We desperately need increased visibility into this debilitating chronic illness so that we can raise awareness and fund treatments, mitigations and cures.

Anyone can get Long Covid. It’s not limited to ‘only the vulnerable’ or those who had a severe initial infection.

This disease does not discriminate. Even people with asymptomatic initial infections have found themselves disabled by Long Covid.

It’s time we start processing the trauma of the pandemic and stop living in denial.

We are in the middle of a mass disabling event, and the longer it takes us to admit that, the more people will be harmed.

Let’s spread the word that the only way to avoid Long Covid is to avoid getting Covid in the first place.

Wear a mask. Stay home when sick. Clean and ventilate the air.

When we all agree to care about the air we share, we can begin to bring about real change.

You'd think people would want to know if there was a disease that killed more Americans than all our wars combined and is still killing, that causes long-term illness at yearly rates higher than all cancers combined, that all are at risk for, but that all could take actions to prevent. You'd think they want to protect themselves and their families. You'd think that this would be the #1 world priority. It is for me.

How denial of airborne COVID transmission broke the world.

'The failure to initially recognize and later acknowledge the airborne spread of COVID-19, was the root cause of major shortcomings in the pandemic response.'

"Airborne mitigations would have greatly reduced viral transmission and therefore reduced evolution, that is to say the production of new variants."

#COVIDisAIRBORNE #COVIDisNotOVER @auscovid19

https://archive.md/ehzgB

Generally speaking, it's easy to differentiate the clout-chasing, performative activists who desperately want to be *seen* "doing good", from the real deal who do it just because they want to do good. The latter wear masks. #intersectionality #AntiAbleism #MaskUp #CovidIsNotOver

"Even if certain types of immune damage following COVID did turn out to be transient, which is another line of argument taken up by minimizers, how would we know in a world plagued by never-ending reinfections? If damage lasts 7 or 8 months, and a child is reinfected with the KP.2 variant in the summer and the XEC variant in the winter, when is that child ever healthy? This type of debate becomes academic in a world without mitigations; the body would barely have time to recover from one infection before the next would be on deck."

Pandemics change people. We aren’t used to dealing with the mass death, disability & uncertainty that comes with them.

Unfortunately due to technology & misinformation, society is choosing NOT to process its collective trauma.

Most people are firmly in denial about COVID, and many are grasping on to conspiracy theories and harmful rhetoric in order to return to their 2019 version of “normal”.

That denial is changing us. Refusing to deal with trauma has consequences.

We’re becoming more detached, reckless and apathetic.

There’s still time to change. It starts with acknowledging that the threat has not passed and we all need to do our part to protect our health & the health of those around us.

We have to begin to adapt so that we can heal.

writing about a taboo topic yet again – why I choose my health (being covid cautious) over social ties – tldr being chronically ill is lonelier and more miserable than having no friends: https://winnielim.org/journal/choosing-health-over-social-ties/

also some meta commentary about how I'm used to writing about taboo topics but writing about covid cautiousness is the most uncomfortable of them all.

#blogging #writing #CovidIsNotOver

If we were to see immune damage manifesting at a population level, it would look like what we’re seeing today: big waves of common illnesses. Unusual spikes of uncommon illnesses. Course reversal for previously declining and eliminated illnesses. An unexplained, global wave of sickness.

How much more denial can the bodies of our children take? Are we going to force them to find out?
