Lingering pathogens have been a big part of Chinese medicine, documented as early as 2,000 B.C. So much of the medicine operates around the interstices, ecapsulated spaces, and empirical evidence that lingering pathogens are not considered special or even rare.

Repealing Section 230 will wholly erase Long Covid communities online. Not because patients are wrong but because platforms will preemptively censor medical discussion to avoid liability. Patient knowledge will disappear forever. That’s just one of the many dangers.
Sen. WHITEHOUSE: We finally are moving to file a bipartisan Section 230 repeal bill. Waiting any longer serves no useful purpose.

Congress is rushing 18 censorship bills through the end of session with no debate - all under the guise of “protecting children.” Meanwhile, Palantir + the govt are weaponizing AI to police free speech. Say goodbye to a free internet, and hello to an imperial broadcasting system.
Palantir doesn't store data - they’re building an engine to automate surveillance, censorship, and enforcement for the U.S. government. It's basically hooking NSPM-7 up to AI - automated policing of anyone who disagrees with Stephen Miller. https://t.co/tXJgBQp3Do

This isn’t meant as an attack. Everyone is affected by medical dismissal. The point is that those with relative privilege tend to encounter it less frequently, while multiply marginalized folks face well-documented barriers to diagnosis and care across cultures.

For many men, especially çïş white men, Long Covid has meant their first real encounter with medical dismissal. The notion of being uniquely wronged comes from freshly entering a landscape others have navigated their whole lives.

@internetuserf12 @cheemspuff9 BA.3.2 was the one presumed to originate from a chronic infection. BA.3.2.2 only adds a couple more spike mutations. I'm usually referring to BA.3.2.* - including all the child lineages out to RD & RE. I think anything about viral persistence is speculative at this point.

From what I understand, BA.3.2 and BA.3.2.2 carry the hallmarks of chronic-infecting variants. If they spread widely, they’d be the first variants of this type to do so - which might mean more chronic infections and more viral mutation? @Mike_Honey_ ?

Gentle reminder that viral (/particle) persistence is confirmed in ~50–70% of people after COVID-19, based on a weighted average of studies - mostly involving those with chronic symptoms, underlying conditions, or who underwent biopsy or autopsy.

Galen (129–216 CE) was perhaps the most influential medical thinker in Western history, a physician of the Roman Empire.

Both Hippocrates and Galen were likely describing Long Malaria, the cause of which was endemic around the Mediterranean. Malaria is one of the oldest infections known to cause prolonged fatigue, cognitive slowing, and exercise intolerance long after the acute fever resolves.

Chinese medicine wasn’t the only tradition documenting chronic illness after infection. Hippocrates (400 BCE) described months of exhaustion and slow recovery, and Galen later noted lingering brain fog and exercise intolerance after fevers. Long Covid has many ancient ancestors.

having a 4-year interlude where we let Biden fart around and quietly continue or expand basically all of Trump's policies made things so much worse this second time around

“Led by Prof. Ali Ertürk, Director of the Institute for Intelligent Biotechnologies at Helmholtz Munich, the research also found that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines significantly reduce spike protein buildup in the brain.” https://t.co/ukjE8elcHX

🚨I’ve been waiting for this study to be published. Earlier in the pandemic, Erturk Labs found that after one infection, 60% of the population likely experiences viral spike persistence in the brain after conducting random autopsies. 🚨 https://t.co/SffXOjxBkd

This CSF study found viral RNA in 33% of samples - but that doesn’t reflect true CNS persistence rates. The Ertürk autopsy study detected widespread spike protein persistence in brain, meninges, and skull marrow in 60% of cases. https://t.co/ViskBgWZdO

Immunopathological reaction: The treatment unmasks or mobilizes a hidden pathogen or immune process(i.e. immunotherapy) Not allergy and not die-off. Feels like: immune activation, cytokine shifts, temporary symptom intensification. Trigger = immune recalibration, not intolerance.

Herxheimer reaction: Rapid killing of microbes releases endotoxins + cytokines. Seen in Lyme, syphilis, certain viral/bacterial die-off states. Feels like: feverishness, headaches, body pain, worsening fatigue. Peaks within 24–48 hrs. Cause = microbial die-off

MCAS reaction: Immune system rejects the molecule itself. Mast cells dump histamine. Feels like: flushing, hives, itching, throat tightness, nausea, diarrhea. Reproducible every time, no matter the dose. Not a “detox.” Not a paradoxical response.

Paradoxical reaction: The intervention hits the right pathway, but the system can’t handle the metabolic shift. Energy pathways reactivate/flush, nerves fire, autonomics fluctuate. Feels like: wired/tired, anxiety, neuropathic flares. No hives. Improves by lowering dose.
