The Pandemic Never Ended Five years after Covid arrived on these shores, many believe the anxieties of the plague years are in the rearview mirror. But the threat is far from over.

New Republic: “The Pandemic Never Ended”

“Five years later, there are still no approved treatments for long Covid”

“I am considered a mild case, yet my life is forever changed”

Yes, Long COVID survivors are still out here. And we need your compassion | Opinion “When I had cancer, I was called a fighter and a survivor," Cindy Kohler said. "But with Long COVID, suddenly I’m met with skepticism or dismissal.”

War heroes and military firsts are among 26,000 images flagged for removal in Pentagon's DEI purge References to a World War II Medal of Honor recipient, the Enola Gay aircraft that dropped an atomic bomb on Japan and women and minorites are among the tens of thousands of photos and online posts ma...

The US military has removed photos of the B-29 bomber “Enola Gay” — which dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan — apparently because it contains the word “gay,” which violates their new anti-DEI rules.

Today #LongCOVID patient advocates were removed from the AHRQ #LongCOVIDCareNetwork at the direction of @HHSGov due to a contract being terminated by #ExecutiveOrder.

The initiative remains, but the #patients do not. #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs

#LongCOVIDAwareness2025 IS A MUST!

RFK Jr. rolls back transparency policy on Medicaid and NIH changes The move supercharges RFK Jr.'s authority to implement health policy changes.

www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-...
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr ended a longstanding transparency rule on Friday, supercharging his authority to change policies in areas ranging from Medicaid to the National Institutes of Health without advance notice to the public.

The U.S. is cutting research funding, the weather service, park rangers, Social Security Admin staff, lifesaving foreign aid, plus billions in Medicaid and food stamps. For what? To potentially buy crypto with taxpayer dollars and to give more tax cuts to the rich.

Congratulations!!!!!!

Trump's comment during his address that DOGE "is headed by Elon Musk, who is in the gallery tonight" has already landed in federal court.

Trump's "golden age of America" so far...

-Inflation ⬆️
-Stock market ⬇️
-Thousands of layoffs
-Consumer & worker protections gutted
-Diseases spreading
-Federal funding illegally frozen
-$10 million+ spent on golf
-An unelected billionaire lining his pockets at our expense

We’ll be seeing some grim years for #LongCovid research under Trump. As reported in The Sick Times, STAT News:

-Issued and executive order to terminate the Secretary's Advisory Committee on Long COVID
-Removed Long COVID info and data from federal websites
-Is attacking research at the NIH

It’s as much a problem with doctors. My wife has suffered with ME/CFS for 25+ years now. We’ve only met two doctors who took it seriously. Most tell her to take paracetamol and “get more exercise”.

Long COVID is just highlighting what ME/CFS sufferers have dealt with for decades.

After we published a public audit on Saturday, Elon Musk’s DOGE deleted hundreds more claims from its mistake-plagued “wall of receipts,” wiping out an additional $4 billion in so-called savings that the group had claimed to secure for U.S. taxpayers.

Made today’s phone calls to my senators and reps. Today’s topic was health care and concern about the cancelling of meetings regarding next year’s flu shot formulations. Essentially we won’t have a flu shot with FDA approval next year. Thanks RFK JR., 47, and Rump voters! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I hope they receive better care than those of us with long Covid in the US ):

Thank you for sharing! Long Covid is life changing ):

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

This makes me so sad.
