Some notable things from @ducky 's weekly roundup https://covidbc.webfoot.com/2026/06/19/2026-06-19-general/ :

for children over 8 years old, ones with a history of reinfection were almost ten times more likely to get Long COVID than those who did not. For children under 8 y/o, reinfection doubled the risk, and boys were almost five times more likely to get Long COVID than girls.

and

that one dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine reduced the likelihood of developing Long COVID by 63%.

More evidence for metformin's effectiveness against LC, and first I've heard of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) having an impact as well.

Another highly interesting reference from Tom Kindlon:

in 40 patients with LC ...

18F-FDG PET-CT scans were performed, and brain metabolic activity was compared to a control database

In some the difference is remarkable. One patient illustrated in Figure 2

shows near global hypometabolism particularly pronounced in the occipital lobes, correlating with the participant’s symptoms of cognitive dysfunction and fatigue with post exertional malaise

The findings showed significant cerebral hypometabolism in 29 patients with fatigue and post-exertional malaise (PEM), particularly in the left sensorimotor cortex (p=0.0253) and bilateral primary visual cortex (right: p=0.0096, left: p=0.0016),

and

our data shows that this cerebral hypometabolism persists 2 years post COVID-19 infection

finally

The correlation of the symptom clusters and cerebral hypometabolism between LC and ME/CFS, particularly in those with PEM, suggests similar underlying pathophysiology.

RE: https://zeroes.ca/@newsfeed/116756804431771780

Does covid vaccination reduce heart attacks by 1/4?

Or does a catching covid more because of not being vaccinated increase heart attacks by [edit: by 1/3]?

Covid vaccination was also tied to a nearly 24% reduction in all-cause cardiac events — not just those with a documented Covid diagnosis

but that methodology makes it almost certainly a case of asymptomatic cases, as they acknowledge:

He spoke to STAT about cases where individuals who felt “under the weather” did not test for Covid at the time, but then weeks later ended up in the emergency room with a cardiovascular event. “What that really means is that those [events] are actually likely related to SARS-CoV-2, that were never recognized to be so in the first place,” he said.
