ME/CFS is a devastating condition that has long been denied, dismissed, psychologised and underdiagnosed. Research is at last starting to catch up with it, with glimmers of hope for those who have been left untreated for so long.
There's a huge BUT coming ...🧵

Meta considers women's health a "political issue" and stopped the campaign of the Swedish Cancer Foundation that was informing women about the importance of mammograms on Facebook.
This is completely deranged behaviour from a social media company. Health is apolitical, women's health is apolitical.

Exact. "Obey in advance" este mentalitatea turmei, când în realitate ce te salvează de la dictatură este să deschizi gura şi să protestezi.

That is borderline at odds with privacy. To always have a program listening on the conversation. This will also lower the quality of care if the physician feels they should not say something when they are unsure, which often is helpful for a future diagnosis in complex illness.

On putin's birthday, let's remember all those people who stood up to him and lost their life.
Let's remember them and their courage:

Anastasia Baburova
Stanislav Markelov
Natalia Estemirova
Boris Nemtsov
Sergei Magnitsky
and others who perished.

Imprisoning early teens is not going to solve criminality. A 13-year old does not need imprisonment, they will need social support and school.
Good quality schooling and a sense of belonging will make good citizens out of them.
Early prison will set them for a criminal career.

Nej Kristersson, att åtala och fängsla trettonåringar som blivit groomade av kriminella äldre är ingen "insats" eller något som kommer att skydda barn.

Om vi ska komma lägre ner i åldrarna med insatserna så behöver ni rusta upp skola, föreningsliv, socialtjänst mm. Fängelse är ingen insats.

Skärmavbild från Rapport där Kristersson pratar om dådet i Gävle och att en trettonåring är gripen. På textremsan står det "det vi misstänkt: vi måste komma lägre ner i åldrarna med insatserna."

It's 2025 and it is still on the shoulders of patients to justify and explain to everyone, including some physicians, how having a mutation that makes specific cells be bad at their job will impact one's functions.
Even when there is knowledge out there, if it is not in popular culture, it's on you.

And a neo-nazi goes free and with very few consequences for his incitement to hatred against a group of people.
This is why the far-right extremism is taking wings again. There are no consequences for them. Courts slap their hand and let them free to do even more harm.

It is linked to microclotting in this case, in long covid:
"This newly discovered mechanism may lie behind the production of similar micro blood clots that have been observed in both serious and long-term COVID-19. Disturbed blood coagulation is also seen in many amyloid-related illnesses."

“Study challenges notion that Covid is ‘mild’ for children.”

You mean, just like EVERY OTHER STUDY on Covid in children?

This shouldn’t be framed as a surprise, or even news, but as established fact. The real question is why we’re still not trying to stop it.

Most of the commercials to which I am subjected online these days are snake oil nonsense from iHerb and a bunch of influencers peddling health advice, curtesy to RFKjr's MAHA - although I do not live in the US, and then another set of commercials about cold medication, as Covid-19 is still kicking.

I hope the article below about how easy it was to pass from austerity measures to the dehumanising and scapegoating of vulnerable peope and then to the justification of taking their lives will wake up some peope to the reality that we are going in a similar direction right now. Including in Sweden.

It is the intersection between misogyny and ableism.
She is an intelligent neurodivergent young woman, and she dares to speak her mind and challenge fossilised ideas about the world order. And that triggers the far-right and the ultraconservatives more than anything else.

This is the guy to whom the Swedish national television gave quite some air time and did not fact-check him adequately during a debate. He was literally allowed to get with so much nonsense it is unbelievable. The fact that he is ethnically Swedish does not make him less of a misinformation machine.

I sadly know people with a PhD in psychology who believe in astrology, despite their field being personality psychology, so there are people whose lives are driven by personal beliefs, ideology and misinformation, despite being educated.

That is terrible, that wealthy enough countries decided to sacrifice the most vulnerable on the altar of living life as usual at the beginning of a pandemic. That is passive eugenics and the sad part in Sweden is that they did not learn anything from the mistakes done in early pandemic.
