I finally learned to get mine on a Monday or Tuesday so if I react to it, I don't waste a weekend. 

Paid off too, because my Wednesday sucked but I was at work so nothing new there.

Hard to know what this means. But I’ve said it many times that were already under attack using a disinformation campaign into our social media that has caused Americans to hate each other, mistrust science, willfully die from a preventable disease, and express support for Russia instead of the President. That’s been many more people than those that died on September 11. Many many more, and we don’t care because Trump told us it would magically be gone by spring, etc. Idiot.

Enemies just changed tactic now that we take our shoes off to fly. Attack our media and gain control of our nation.




Finally we're starting to get some confirmation of the obvious: social media is our enemies' propaganda tool.

I despair at the internet spreading the ludicrous concept that every single one of the people in healthcare and research and pharmacology are All In It Together. Seriously? Think about that for a second. You’ve likely met a jerk doctor or nurse - but you’ve also met a jerk car mechanic or bus driver. It’s not the whole profession, in an organized and malevolent union designed to screw you and your family over. Understanding disease and treatment takes time - especially in the face of unintentional and intentional misinformation.

Not sure. It's possible of course but probably have to be able to see the light at the end of the Kobayashi Maru. I mean tunnel...

Those of you old enough might remember the horrible period in the mid 80s where we started to recognize that there was something going on - a disease where people got weird skin cancers (Kaposi’s Sarcoma) or usually benign versions of tuberculosis (avium). And it killed them - frequently young otherwise generally health people: hemophiliacs, gay men, Haitians (!?), and IV drug users. What ties them together? Some said it was God’s vengeance, whatever that means.

Eventually, we named it GRID and then AIDS. And it was a death sentence, full stop. But that didn’t prevent people from trying anything to “cure it.” And I don’t blame them at all. 

It took a while, but meds were tried, failed, tried, failed, tried, and then succeeded in lifting the death sentence part of the diagnosis. This is the nature of how things work, and - although there was a shameful amount of politics involved that slowed things - eventually the story of HIV infection became quite different than at the beginning.

I think that’s a very useful template for what’s happening with Long Covid: chaotic identification because of different presentations. Then, clunky attempts at prevention and treatment. Wild stabs at Laetrile-like treatments since “Big Pharma” is an easy to blame baddie, and by identifying an enemy it relieves some of the hopelessness. And, slowly, a unified theory of what we’re dealing with and the best way(s) to address it. Paxlovid is a start.

Thank you for that. Probably the most intelligent thing I've read regarding Covid since it came about.
