As early as July 2020, all 13 Canadian CMOHs & assorted PH officials were warned repeatedly by PHAC and CADTH about Long COVID, And yet they did nothing to amplify that warning. This is the biggest (& cruellest) misstep of Canada's pandemic, still untouched by journalists:

PoP NB submitted a RTI request for records of discussions of Long Covid. The response brings to light a shocking level of deception perpetrated against the people of NB, under which true magnitude of risk was hidden and the fundamental precepts of public health were abandoned. 🧵

2/ Justin Lemphers lives with this stigmatized, invisible, & (so far) incurable chronic illness. He has been very sick with #LongCOVID for 5+ years. He is also the only #Yukoner courageous enough to speak on camera about Long COVID - youtu.be/p8HPBmtHzEg?si=MS1t…

Just a gentle PSA: it seems like everyone's nerves are really stretched. Even if you agree with someone, you may be reflexively misunderstood. Society is on a hair trigger, and solidarity is thin on the ground, as the bullies file in to take their seats...

We are putting patients with #LongCovid in psychiatric wards because we don't know what to do with them. We have no biomarkers or treatments available, so let's pretend they are crazy and not our problem anymore.

Dismissed and Disbelieved, Some Long COVID Patients Are Pushed Into Psychiatric Wards

The chronic illnesses that make doctors doubt their patients often start after what “should” be a short-lived sickness—like COVID-19.

These numbers are crazy. A generation of young people with dementia waits for us in the near future, and we are not prepared for that. #NeuroCovid nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

1/ How do we know that the European Union's Health Commission (like many governments) is using delaying tactics to do anything about care for pediatric Long COVID in children and adolescents, despite what they say?

11/ That means free #N95 masks, better rapid antigen tests, cleaner (ventilated/filtrated) air in all public indoor spaces, along with publicly displayed carbon dioxide readings of indoor air quality (IAQ).

12/ The bottomline is that every healthcare provider still not wearing an #N95 mask in 2025, is a failure of public health & preventive medicine, & demonstrates that they know zero about the ongoing risks of #LongCOVID, nor how to treat patients who have it.
