The sky you see at night is a window into the past...

The stars you see shone thousands to billions of years ago, their light only now reaching your eyes.

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

our science obsolete with your own. Finally, I genuinely hope that no one thinks that we released this work lightly - we understand its gravity, but also feel the urgency for folks who are sick to be believed. Ultimately we will always center the needs of our patients first. /end

As we continue to learn, I would remind you that our singular purpose is to serve people who are suffering with PVS. They have a right to answers, they have a right to be believed and they have a right to competent care. If you don't like our science, do better science: make 21/

Funny how when a real scientist responds to an ideologue about their dated beliefs the cracks start to show re: #LongCOVID. Initially I was annoyed that Nature even legitimized such a weak response from Garner et al, but now all the world can see that the emperor has no clothes.

Schade, dass es offenbar eine Pandemie brauchte, um mehr Interesse an der seit 1969 von der WHO codierten - und auch schon davor massiv beeinträchtigenden - Erkrankung #MECFS zu generieren.

Spezialisierte Behandlungseinrichtungen, mehr Forschung, Verbesserungen bei Begutachtung und Absicherung: 50 Empfehlungen enthält der Aktionsplan zu postakuten Infektionssyndromen, den ich mit Elisabeth Kanitz (Gesundheit Österreich) und Eva Untersmayr-Eisenhuber (MedUni Wien) präsentiert habe.

Ab sofort gibt es hier von mir allgemeine medizinische Informationen, mit speziellem Fokus auf die Lungengesundheit.

Ich stehe für Empathie, wissenschaftliche Evidenz, und ein gerechtes soziales Miteinander.

Danke an alle Follower für das Interesse!

"SOMEONE DIE?"
Mila signaled with some effort.
