Still a pandemic, according to every reputable global health organization.
These are probably the exact same folks who refused to wear masks during the pandemic

The most effective biohacking tool in the world is avoiding viral infections. Viruses increase the probability of all diseases and death magnitudes of order.

It's madness that most people in the healthspan-extension space do little to control the activity of #viral, bacterial, #parasite and other pathogens that can hack their bodies over time. Come listen to me talk at the Liberty Hotel next Thurs where I will discuss how to change this by optimizing anti-pathogen treatment approaches! eventbrite.com/e/health-inno…

We should have stopped dismissing the role of pathogens in aging a long time ago. The evidence linking infections to neurodegeneration, from viral Parkinsonism to Alzheimer's disease, keeps growing. Looking forward to this talk. 👇

We're hosting a live session with @OpenMedF on July 15 at 5pm ET focused on crashes & post-exertional symptom worsening (PEM/PESE/PENE) in ME/CFS. These were top priorities identified by the CTN Lite Patient & Caregiver Survey.

Diese Umfrage von @BerlinBuyers Club dokumentiert ein veritables Staatsversagen. Keine einzige von 154 befragten Personen in Berlin, die von ME/CFS oder Long Covid betroffen sind, sagt: Ja, es gibt in der Stadt eine verlässliche Versorgung. 1/ survey26.berlinbuyersclub.co…

NEW ARTICLE from me in @FAIRmediawatch: "The Media Won't Stop Psychologizing Long Covid." An overview of this unfortunate propaganda trend in the media since 2020, including where it comes from and what it gets wrong. Link in next post.

I have suffered #mecfs since a bout of the flu in 1991. Today I am disabled and mostly confined to bed. It is strange and disheartening that the same kind of narrative that dismissed chronic fatigue syndrome is now focused on #longcovid. We've been here before.

“One of the reasons I believe that healthy indoor air solutions have yet to scale in the marketplace broadly is because they’re expensive,” Dr. Green said in an interview. “What we need are solutions that can both be energy-efficient but also be healthy.” nytimes.com/2026/06/19/scien…

“A lot of them got thrown out, which is really sad,” said David Carel, a co-director of the nonprofit organization Clean Air for Schools. “Kids were actually breathing much cleaner air three or four years ago.”nytimes.com/2026/06/19/scien…

“Covid never left; it only joined a growing cadre of airborne pathogens. Measles, which is entirely airborne, is having a resurgence in undervaccinated pockets of the US. Influenza spreads by several routes, but the air appears to be an important one.” nytimes.com/2026/06/19/scien…

“Dr. Green, herself an expert on airborne microbes, started the program at ARPA-H to work toward those solutions: BREATHE, for Building Resilient Environments for Air and Total Health. The goal is to have buildings fight disease the way they fight fires.” nytimes.com/2026/06/19/scien…

“ARPA-H… is spending $150 million to create what it calls ‘an immune system for every building.’” “I believe that a provision of pure air for children (and adults) to breathe should be looked upon as of equal importance to the provision of pure water”

Ein kurzes Update in Sachen Newsletter: Wir haben inzwischen etwas mehr als 300 Newsletter-Anmeldungen. Vielen Dank an alle, die sich bereits eingetragen haben! Unser Ziel sind 1.000 Anmeldungen bis Ende August. Das bedeutet, dass uns noch etwa 700 fehlen. Ich wäre jedem sehr dankbar, der den Newsletter abonniert! Außerdem planen wir die Einführung eines WE&ME Blogs auf unserer Website (im Herbst/Winter). Dort sollen Patientinnen, Angehörige, Wissenschaftlerinnen und Ärztinnen zu Wort kommen. Der Blog wird zT in den Newsletter integriert werden. Es gab auch vereinzelt technische Probleme bei der Newsletter-Anmeldung. Ich kenne die Details nicht, aber soweit ich weiß sollten diese inzwischen behoben sein. Falls ihr euch noch nicht angemeldet habt, würde ich mich sehr freuen, wenn ihr das nachholt. 💙
🚨 NEUER NEWSLETTER! Meine Schwägerin Caroline Ströck (@CarolineStroeck) steckt unglaublich viel Energie komplett ehrenamtlich und in ihrer Freizeit in den gesamten WE&ME Online-Auftritt. Jetzt hat sie zusätzlich auch noch einen Newsletter gestartet, und ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn wir dafür möglichst viele Anmeldungen schaffen. Der Newsletter erscheint nur quartalsweise, eventuell ergänzt durch 1–2 zusätzliche Fundraising-Updates pro Jahr. Also definitiv kein Spam. Bis zu meinem Geburtstag am 21. August hätte ich einen großen Wunsch: dass wir gemeinsam 1000 Newsletter-Anmeldungen erreichen. Ich wäre wirklich jedem dankbar, der sich anmeldet oder den Newsletter weiterempfiehlt. Link in comments! 🙏💙
