I have family in 🇿🇦 Cape Town who are ardently anti-vax, deeply religious, & tertiary educated. They are currently pursuing medical help for their severely disabled 11-year old child.
They will consider any diagnosis EXCEPT #LongCOVID (because that would mean #COVID wasn't actually a hoax) -
This.
And it could be you.
I hear *so many* stories like this, including from affected HCW.
Misinformation spread by public health and IPC trying to bury their failure on airborne transmission hasn't just wasted an enormous number of lives among those who mistakenly trusted them - it gives license to mistreat others too.
This thread is just 💔.
My god. These poor kids. What have we done 😭
#LongCOVID #LongCOVIDKids
(And, FFS, i will pre-emptively remind some of you that we as a society are supposed to protect ALL children, inc ones whose parents don't vaccinate them, you ghouls.)
When will #PublicHealth #MedSky learn?
When you conclude droplet or 'close contact' transmission, you are (wilfully, now - we see you 🤬) misinterpreting close RANGE and/or long duration aerosol transmission i.e., AIRBORNE transmission.

The deaths are almost all young people too—mostly younger than me. Mostly women. And the world simply doesn't care. If the media reports on a #SevereME death at all, it's often in the context of talking about assisted suicide as if it's a mercy—
A thread today about Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies to various pathogens and why they seem to be elevated a lot in people with #LongCOVID, #MECFS, chronic #lyme/tick- and vector-borne illnesses and other complex chronic illnesses. First, let's start basic: what is IgG?
