Long read from the ME/CFS Science blog
"The immune system in ME/CFS"
https://mecfsscience.org/immune-findings-in-me-cfs/
"In this article, we have made a comprehensive overview of research findings on the immune system in patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). In contrast to what is frequently claimed, current data do not suggest that (low-grade) inflammation is a key driver of ME/CFS symptoms."

A talented individual (WantedAlive) thought up these cartoons and employed Rick Menard to illustrate them.
Well done to them for this initiative. 👏👍
They said they can be freely shared around to raise awareness and understanding of #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis / #ChronicFatigueSyndrome

Yeah well the world will see in the course of a few years that all the 'alarmist' people out there that they basically shunned out of society were the ones able to actually read and understand papers. Well done, world.
Society is doomed. Let it rip = why not spread airborne AIDS everywhere, what could possibly go wrong. Well yeah. AIDS had not become less dangerous, and so hasn't SARS-CoV-2. Sad enough scientists aren't even clever enough to use the correct terms. Like which idiot calls MS rare. It's common. Come on. #Idiocracy2026
Ein Mitglied der Taliban ist nach ARD-Recherchen zum Chef der afghanischen Botschaft in Berlin ernannt worden - ohne, dass dies der Bundesregierung mitgeteilt wurde. Deutschland ist damit der erste EU-Staat, in dem die Islamisten faktisch eine Botschaft leiten.....

Age Verification isn't a technical problem to solve. If you think that, you're missing the point.
It's a social problem used by authoritarian governments as an excuse for population control and censorship.
It's a fundamental attack on free speech and democracy.
It must not be accommodated.
It must be stopped.

Maybe the saddest realization of the last six years is that most people don't seem to give a fuck about anyone when it comes down to anything important. They make excuses as to why things happen to other people and delude themselves into believing they are somehow impervious to ever having them happen to them. Everything from long covid to homelessness to assault to AI psychosis.
The number of people who look down their noses and say, "well that could never happen to me, so it's not my problem" blows my mind. It's like compassion and empathy died in most people a few years back.

Jaja, unsere Eugeniker sind doch sonst auch immer dafür dass kranke Patienten schön verrecken sollen, aber Verbrenner - eine aussterbende Art - wollen wir künstlich am Leben erhalten? FICK DICH MERZ-REGIERUNG
Interesting and concerning #COVID19 study. It suggests an important and accumulating shift in COVID dangers without specifically forecasting impact.
"Five years after the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, converging clinical evidence reveals a progressive compound immunodeficiency affecting a substantial and growing proportion of the global population... The cross-pathogen pattern further supports a shared immunological driver operating at population scale."
