Too Long Covid @toolongcovid.bsky.social · Aug 13

When you're talking, reporting about Covid

It's DISINFO not to mention that the Covid pandemic is ongoing

We are not 'post Covid' in any way, shape or form

Johns Hopkins scientists found that female mice recovering from COVID showed lasting memory loss and brain inflammation.

The effect was driven by having two X chromosomes, revealing a genetic cause for why long COVID hits women harder.

No one should have to risk their health for their education. It's long past time to stand up & protect kids with measurably healthy, transparent indoor air quality in CA schools! We need state legislation with TEETH to protect the health, education & future of kids. /5 (end)

Those figures are from Australia alone, yes? It would be a worthwhile effort to isolate the numbers for COVID aged care deaths per year for other nations as well. I don't think people grasp how we are failing elders by neglecting precautions - air quality, vaccines, etc. - in aged care.

Getting COVID 5 times doesn’t make you “stronger.” The immune system isn’t a muscle—repeated infections can cause cumulative damage and raise long-term risks.

Protect your immune system by avoiding repeat infections: clean air, masks, vaccination.

Quote: Someone claims having COVID 5 times gives them antibodies and makes them stronger than someone who hasn’t had it.

Adam (masked, with air purifiers) replies: “Then why did you have it 5 times??” Laughing emoji.

The best time to start masking in public was when covid started. The next best time to start is now.

Sean Mullen, Ph.D. @drseanmullen.bsky.social · 17h

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

“We may be witnessing the emergence of a population-level acquired immune deficiency — not sexually transmitted, but airborne.”

That line isn’t from a tweet. It’s from a peer-reviewed paper in AJPM Focus (2025).

The thing that annoys me most of all about the Covid inquiry is that no evidence past 2022 is considered. This is the date the government declared it was over and this is why we must have another inquiry to look at child deaths that have gone unmentioned and the devastation of long covid and

It really can't be overstated, the impact on these kids' lives. Imagine living with limitations and pain like someone much much older when you're a kid.

Asked about providing guidance to schools re #LongCovid Gavin Williamson suggests providing no information was better than incorrect information. It appears this extended to not even confirming its existence leaving families we support subject to disbelief and fines #CovidInquiry

Can you believe NZ Pharmac? They confirmed MRNA Pfizer as primary covid19 vax & acknowledged “Exceptional Circumstances” where an alternate vax (Novavax) should be available for those intolerant of MRNA but are not providing it nor a means of accessing it @drayeshaverrall.bsky.social #nzpol

Yes, this has been an ongoing frustration for those of us who'd rather have Novavax 😞

This is a fact.

I don't think it's a left or right issue. I think public health and the right to Covid-safe access to education and healthcare are human issues.

Too Long Covid @toolongcovid.bsky.social · 2d

To be clear, this isn't because there's no news on these topics. There's a lot happening in the research space, plenty of human interest stories, and lots of information for the public good.

Too Long Covid @toolongcovid.bsky.social · 2d

In terms of the ongoing pandemic and Long Covid, Spinoff hasn't run pretty much any Covid news in the last two years, like most left-leaning media. Which leaves it to the msm to put their minimising slant on it.

Mountain Tui @mountaintui.bsky.social · 3d
