“If we assume, conservatively, that it takes 12 to 15 years to develop acceptable therapeutics for Long COVID, and then another 18 years for them to reach clinical practice, people my age — and yours — will have passed before they get help. We need to accelerate this.”

A group of 53 people with #LongCOVID joined a clinical trial for Vyvgart. For many of them, the treatment changed everything.

Then, without warning, Argenx canceled the trial.

Most of them have now relapsed.

They're calling on the NIH and HHS to study the drug: bit.ly/48l1Qp5

A photo Nicole Barrick, a woman in a pink KN95 mask, receives an infusion of Vyvgart. The text reads, "The Sick Times. Vyvgart brought us back to life, but the Long COVID trial was canceled. We are calling on the NIH and HHS to study the drug. By Clare Banaszewski, Nicole Barrick, Mike Bilik, Addie Davis, Mia Delli Gatti, Ellie Hayes, Roman White."

"For those living with Long COVID, every ounce of hope is hard-won. This isn’t just about physical symptoms. It’s about the emotional toll of being given hope — and then having it taken away." - Vyvgart clinical trial participants

It's not Modern unless its Brutalist.

Indeed the burrito should be trapezoidal too.

Or maybe it's one of those postmodern things with an unreliable narrator? Perhaps they just heard they were called the "Blood Drinkers" and *assumed* they were space vampires, then made up slanderous stories about them!

Esp one in which cossacks were able to open up a real alternative position wrt to the nobles, which would have created a new socio-economic state of affairs in Europe.

Alt history could have liberalization via confrontation w/ eastern orthodox. As it is, protestants were the one that opposed the union of Brest ... one could imagine a different process -- a softer competition for clergy in unified polish/Ukranian commonwealth

Have a non-jew drive you? (Is this allowed? As a student I had a jewish friend for whom I turned off the lights on Sat....) Have your words of protest printed on your clothes?

Serious question: is protest actually proscribed on the sabbath (IYO), or is it more that it is against the spirit of resting and enjoying God's creation?
