“In this status quo, people are expected to ignore the threat of infection, pay through the nose if they get sick and face stigma and ridicule if they become disabled. Journalism can and should repudiate that bargain. We are not neutral actors…”
Must read opinion piece on Long Covid by Ed Yong

Ed Yong on COVID reporting failures
@luckytran I know this is supposed to be a gift article, but I couldn't get around the paywall anyway. So here's an archive link for those with the same problem.

I think this is due to the link preview being different from the link in the body of the post.
You have to click on the link above the preview. See image.
Hope this helps! It took me a while to figure it out so I figure others must also be running into this problem. Due to certain Mastodon bugs I sometimes include an image when I post a link just to avoid getting a bug in the link preview.
This is good to know, thank you!
Thank you!
excellent piece
For anyone interested, Ed Yong is very active on BlueSky (not a BS plug, just an Ed yong plug). From what I’ve seen he is very much touching grass and posts a lot of bird watching, having left the Atlantic.
