This is from a symposium of the Worlds leading long covid experts (August 2025) . H/t Charlos on X. This should tell everyone what you need to know. Not one long covid expert without a respirator, no non maskers or gappy surgicals in sight. Experts know it’s airborne and know the health risks.

It’s so interesting that people who did a whole MD and fellowship or whatever in infectious diseases are still talking about immunity debt like it’s a real concept based in science and not something McKinsey made up in 2022 to convince everyone to start spending money again.

I. Told. You. So.
Infection does confer antibodies and T cells against C19… but it also takes a wrecking ball to the immune system as a whole.

Autistic burnout isn’t just tiredness.
It’s years of masking, unmet needs, and swallowing pain.
It’s vanishing into a performance so long you forget yourself.
It’s yelling into the void.
It’s not weakness.
