Long Covid brain study shows cortical thickening & decreased microstructural integrity in white matter

Findings correlate with low performance in working memory, verbal memory, mental processing speed, verbal fluency and executive functions Long Covid brain study shows cortical thickening & decreased microstructural integrity in white matter  Findings correalate with low performance in working memory, verbal memory, mental processing speed, verbal fluency and executive functions "This cortical thickening present in pwLC may have its origin in a neuroinflammation process caused by the virus entrance in the CNS. Several studies have proved that SARS-CoV-2 spike S1 subunit can induce by itself a neuroinflammatory response and microglia activation" PCC participants showed lower FA in regions involving the right superior longitudinal fascicles (P = 0.04; P = 0.048), the right uncinate fasciculus (P = 0.049; P = 0.049), the forceps major (P = 0.049) and the splenium (P = 0.038) and genu (P = 0.048) of corpus callosum. Significant differences are indicated in cool colours; the scale is represented as alpha (P-value = 1 − alpha), meaning 0.95 indicates significant clusters. GLM and FSL's randomize were used to find vertex-wise differences in FA skeleton maps. Results are overlaid on the WM skeleton (green) and displayed over sections of t...

They want you to know they were unpaid for doing nothing, not even a meeting. Hero.

They infer that they speak for millions. They do not, and cannot, say they speak for pwLC. They wasted $1B and YEARS on bs while they were dead silent about Tx that could've cured us. Hero. Image @MVGutierrezMD has only benefited from Long Covid "bureaucracy" as pwLC suffer/die in her silence

Long Covid "Advocacy" is a social and business club for these ppl. It's a lifestyle. It is networks of ladder-climbing opportunists that have rendered only harm to pwLC. Heroes. Image

The MECFS Mafia pocketbooks are aflutter!

They want you to think that the Office of Long Covid research can't function without their patient-abusing, toxic AF MECFS astroturf grifter network that has done nothing but obfuscate Long Covid research, waste $1B, & harm pwLC/kids Lisa McCorkell @LisaAMcCorkell 3 weeks ago  @RobertKennedyJr  committed to collaborating with healthcare providers, researchers, and patients to better understand and mitigate #LongCovid's impact. The Advisory Committee would have been a key part of that, and now it will be terminated. https://x.com/C19LH_Advocacy/C19LH_Advocacy/status/1892566851147710558 Quote COVID-19 Longhauler Advocacy Project @C19LH_Advocacy · 6h The Federal Advisory Committee on Long COVID has been ordered terminated on 2/19/25 within 14 days.  “the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall terminate the Secretary’... Oh, no! Whatever will RFK do? @LisaAMcCorkell, SUPER COMPLICIT mecfs mafia bobblehead, "expects" him to push back on the President? 🤡

Hopefully @RobertKennedyJr will investigate her & the rest of her crony network who openly misappropriated $1B LC research funds Lisa McCorkell @LisaAMcCorkell @RobertKennedyJr   @HHSGov  given your commitments, I expect you to push back on your boss for the harmful actions taken in this executive order. Advisory Committees are critical for good policy and oversight, providing perspective from those impacted by policies. 12:36 PM · Feb 20, 2025 ·

Imagine thinking your followers are dumb-enough to think that anyone calling out flat-earth, offensive as fuck, ME Mafia propaganda -run in main stream media- is using "disingenuous framing"

ppl w/Long Covid have had years of this abusive dishonesty in our media & in our studies Long COVID is a new name for an old syndrome. It is virtually indistinguishable from the condition long known in the medical lexicon as post-infectious syndrome or myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS)—in colloquial terms known simply as “chronic fatigue syndrome.”  @Time published NOVEMBER 15, 2023 Here is @MeActNet's Terry Wilder lying during her testimony to Minnesota Lawmakers House Health, Finance , & Policy Committee that 50% of LC is estimated to be MECFS

How many times have these MFs + @patientled @plzSolveCFS have lied to our lawmakers about Long Covid? COUNTLESS.

Moderna sponsored @washingtonpost #LongCovid horse & pony show today

They launch w/minimizing & lies

LIES: About half of people with Long Covid meet Dx criteria for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome 🤥

Cue the middle aged white woman who apparently just got home from work, on her sofa Requisite middle aged white woman lying on her sofa, all dressed up w/make up on, type "About half of people with Long Covid meet Dx criteria for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" Hey #pwLC, these continue to be your Sx! They don't sound at ALL like the self-reported, Sx-based criteria for an entirely different illness, do they?
