Germany Declares 'National Decade Against Post-Infectious Diseases'

The German government has launched a ten-year initiative to find the underlying biological mechanisms and effective treatments for post-infective diseases. The 'National Decade Against Post-Infectious Diseases' initiative commits 500 million Euros over ten years ($540 million) and will specifically focus on ME/CFS. Federal Research Minister Dorothee Bär, in announcing the strategy, noted that "The need for research is enormous: for ME/CFS and post-viral autoimmune diseases there are still no simple solutions or therapies, and previous studies demonstrate the complexity of the disease mechanisms." — Germany Declares 'National Decade Against Post-Infectious Diseases' The German government has launched a ten-year initiative to find the underlying biological mechanisms and effective treatments for post-infective diseases.

Most doctors’ knowledge of Long COVID vs The published Long COVID science.

Two images side by side. On the left, a tiny book held between fingers labeled “Most doctors’ knowledge of Long COVID.” On the right, someone holding a huge, heavy book labeled “The published Long COVID science,” highlighting the big knowledge gap.

Side-by-side image contrasting scale of information. Left panel shows a tiny book held between two fingers against a plain green background. Right panel shows a person in a library holding and reading an extremely large, thick book on a stand, with pages fanned open, emphasising the vast difference in size and volume.

The excellent and freely distributable COVID Zine has been updated for 2026.

This is among the most concise and well cited sources for the current state of #Covid knowledge and tools. Even for well-informed people who already take strong precautions, there is still likely something new to be learned by giving it a read through.

does anyone in South Wales / VoG know what the situation is with GPs prescribing fitness stuff?

I'm pondering swimming to rebuild muscle strength and reduce the hypermobility pain, but wondering if it's worth me mentioning to the GP tomorrow in case they can prescribe sessions for me?

Staring down a Fibro/long covid based on most bloods coming back fine.
Possibly hormonal fuckery going on but they are weird results. He is referring me.

Iron level is 25 (normal range is 15 to 300.)
Oestrogen lower than the lab can count.
LH & FSH normal (with low oestrogen they should go up...)

I am... every single emotion and don't really know what to do with this information.

'Zombie' Remnants of COVID-19 Hunt In Packs And Kill Our Immune Cells

Study by 30+ authors shows how the destruction of the virus within our body leaves dangerous protein fragments that target immune cells, helping explain debilitating long COVID symptoms affecting millions worldwide.

Yaneer Bar-Yam, founder of the so-called World Health Network which so many covid-aware people foolishly insisted on following, appears in the Epstein files.

Here's Bar-Yam asking Epstein, who four years earlier had pleaded guilty of child prostitution, if he wants to talk about science: https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2010/EFTA02025360.pdf

Long-COVID symptoms persist for years in nonhospitalized adults, study reveals

Study of 130 non-hospitalised Long COVID adults in Sweden found that at 2.5 years ~50% had severe dyspnea and depression, and 42% had impaired lower-body strength on testing at clinic.
