Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Experts call new Canadian Long COVID guidelines “contradictory” and “deeply concerning” - The Sick Times The guidelines recommend exercise and therapy as Long COVID treatments. Despite his attempts, Paul Garner had no influence on the process.

NEW: Long COVID experts are concerned about Canada's new guidelines for "Post-COVID Condition", stating that some recommendations, like exercise, could harm people with the disease. @spichaksimon.bsky.social dives into the guidelines and the how they were created:

It's so fucking depressing how people just gave up on covid. Millions died, millions more have long term health issues, it's still spreading and everyone, even progressives just ignore it. Call me a dead ender but seeing the willful ignorance as people keep dying left me hopeless.

An article, written by Cat Fraser and originally published in Byline Times, is a powerful call to action from someone living with Long COVID. By sharing her personal story—from ME to post-COVID disability—Cat calls out the absolute need for systemic change:

My Journey With Long COVID Rachel Hall-Clifford shares how long COVID changed her life—managing fatigue, migraine, heart symptoms, and balancing family and care appointments.

Really grateful to be featured in this new piece on long covid. Thanks to @healthcentral.bsky.social for helping share our experiences and get the word out.

Long covid is awful. Please be careful.

We need a new Covid inquiry. One that will act now to save lives, not wait another year while more children suffer long covid or clinically vulnerable are hospitalised. We need urgent recommendations!

my experience with long covid so far has been everything is just bad enough to ruin your life and make you scared while also being just mild enough that doctors don't give af and don't want to help you

"[When guidelines recommend exercise for people with an acute infection to prevent Long COVID], that’s when it tells you they’re literally not listening to the patients or the research." - Adriana Patiño, Advocate with the Long COVID Canada Collaborative

The McMaster GRADE Centre and Cochrane Canada developed 100+ recommendations for #LongCOVID. Experts say they could harm people.

I was on Reddit earlier 🫠 Covid is none of these things:

Endemic ❌
Mild ❌
A cold ❌
We aren’t gaining long lasting immunity ❌

"...we were directly affected and our lives are still particularly affected as well."

I am incredibly, incredibly lucky to have the kind of Long Covid doctor who is happy to discuss new papers with me, and will consider new treatments based on case study reports if they seem like a decent fit for my symptoms. But I mostly hear about those new trials/papers from other patients first!

Attendez non, je lis le dernier ouvrage d'A. Desbiolles, signataire de la Déclaration de Great Barrington, à peine subtile dans sa tentative de destruction de la santé comme droit fondamental et de justification de politiques eugénistes.

Et ça va mieux donc. 😅

Je ne sais pas combien de preuves il faut pour que tout le monde réalise que l’on a enterré toute notion de santé publique.

2025 & still the Bad COVID Info Greatest Hits:
✅ No mention of Long COVID or long term effects.
✅ Only the vulnerable & elderly need worry.
✅ “He does not believe wearing a mask will stop the spread…”
✅ “Dr. Richardson told us the best protection against viruses is washing your hands frequently.”

Bottom line: Covid is a multi-system disease not only a respiratory disease. That's why Long COVID can be so varied causing at least 200 possible symptoms. Every time you get COVID, you run the risk of developing Long COVID. It isn't a binary condition, it is multi-systemic injury. That happens every time you catch it to some degree. We don't know why it cripples some people, only that it does. Vaccines help prevent Long COVID, but not nearly as much as repeat infections increase the risk of it. There is no cure for Long COVID.

COVID is not a respiratory illness. It's an immune-evasive-&-corrupting multi-systemic disease that slips past the blood-brain barrier & dysregulates cellular function. Pass it on.

(And you do—unless you ventilate & wear fitted N95 respirators, which >90% of you don't. Good luck with that)
