So the currently level of hospital admissions from #COVID in the UK is 50x higher than hospital admissions from flu.

A direct result of @teamlabouruk.bsky.social drastically decreasing autumn/winter covid vaccinations for many elderly or at risk adults…

It will get worse. It won’t save money.

I long to study, to work, to go out, to help others, to contribute to society, to hike, and look out at the views.
Instead I cried this morning because I am so exhausted that digesting my feed through my feeding tube had taken all my energy.

George, as always thank you so much for covering this topic, it takes knowledge, understanding, empathy and bravery to do so, but my goodness does it mean the world to those of us you speak on behalf of.

In the firing line, as ever, are the UK’s hundreds of thousands of ME/CFS patients. As a practitioner once remarked, “the bastards don’t want to get better”. If there is one characteristic all the ME/CFS patients I’ve come across have in common, it is a desperation to get better.

I saw a pic of that lavish banquet next to a photo of people starving in Gaza and it just made me sick. Obscene how wealth is not shared out. Nobody should be starving in this day and age 😡😡

I detest the fact that people will retort with [insert moany voice] "£15m isn't enough to run the nhs for a day". My argument for that is the nhs is being mismanaged then, and £15m could go a hell of a way to fill food banks for millions of people, not just an elite few at a banquet.

For decades, people with ME/CFS faced stigma and little research funding. Now, NIH has spotlighted ME/CFS in its feature on mitochondria—a step toward recognition. Learn about the mitochondria connection & why this matters for #MECFS, #LongCOVID, & related conditions: https://bit.ly/4mjda8g

Someone asked if I was ready for the fall, and it actually took me a moment to realize that they meant autumn, not the complete collapse of democracy.
