Clip 2 (WDR German TV): Dr Astrid Weber from the Long Covid Clinic in Koblenz says ME/CFS cases have exploded since Covid. ME/CFS isn’t new — despite being around for decades, many doctors know little about it. She wants to educate them. It’s a physical, not a mental, illness.

Clip 2 from BBC Politics North: Dr Margaret O’Hara of Long Covid Support warns the condition is being “swept under the carpet” as clinics in the North East are set to close. Long Covid expert Dr Rae Duncan says Covid is not over and cases of long Covid are rising.
#MECFS is a “medical” and a “social catastrophe.” — Jörg Heydecke, founder of Germany’s ME/CFS Research Foundation. One patient waited 19 years for a diagnosis. Another said she was told her symptoms were psychological and that she needed to get on with it.
NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya says patients with ME/CFS, long COVID, vaccine injury and chronic Lyme are often gaslit and told their symptoms are psychological, making them feel crazy. He’s told NIH staff he wants to invest in finding real answers for these conditions.

Short German TV clip. Kalea, 17, has lived with #MECFS since 2019. Post-exertional malaise means she must carefully ration her energy, even small activities can trigger a drastic deterioration in symptoms, leaving her unable to see anyone, in a dark, quiet room.
Jo Platt MP, who lives with #MECFS and #LongCovid, told UK Parliament the COVID-19 Inquiry found Long Covid was repeatedly dismissed despite affecting nearly 2 million people. She asked the Government what steps it will take to act on the Inquiry’s findings, 23 April 2025.
Dr Charles Shepherd (@meassociation.org.uk) explains how in the 80s and 90s psychiatrists claimed #MECFS was due to “deconditioning” and “abnormal illness beliefs”. Graded exercise therapy made many patients worse, with some ending up in wheelchairs. It was only removed from NICE guidance in 2021.
Imagine you couldn’t watch television because the sound and colours were too exhausting or needed help just to eat, wash or go to the toilet. This can be a reality for people with a severe form of #LongCovid and #MECFS. Clip from German TV.

🔴 🙄🤦🏻♂️ Cringeworthy and ridiculous. It's official - this chap, Jivani, has taken over from Trump as the LAST person on earth I'd ever want to have a beer with. 🚮
Trump just created a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund to reward the insurrectionists and allies who break the law in his name. It is one of the most brazen abuses of power we have ever seen. I am running for Congress to stop him and defend democracy. #mepolitics
