Very important study and more evidence that #NeuroCovid can contribute to neurodegeneration and cognitive impairment. When they say 'it's all in your head', they might be trying to be dismissive, but are accidentally being very realistic.

As opposed to extremely serious parties who base themselves wholly on real issues like, say, Reform who claim that all of the country's ills are caused by a few thousand refugees and want to solve this by deporting every Brown person in the country.

Funny how @zackpolanski.bsky.social suggesting a raft of policies to try and improve the lives of the vast majority is ‘fantasy economics’, but when Brexiteers were allowed to indulge their lunatic fantasies about leaving the EU it somehow became ‘The Will of the People’. 🦄🤔

COVID is a systemic disease that can harm the brain, heart, immune system and more.
Every reinfection increases the risk of Long COVID, chronic illness, disability and even death.
If people understood the real danger, they’d take prevention seriously instead of accepting repeated infections.

I know the way relationships and romantic love are portrayed in our society differs a lot from ours. It’s easy to compare your life to the norm, even when life as a bedbound, disabled and severely ill person is totally different. We are allowed to define what love and a relationship look like to us.

Since we released this @johnsweeneyroar.bsky.social documentary two years ago, more information has come to light that Boris Johnson went to this meeting to discuss a 'backchannel' to Putin with Alexander Lebedev, who was working for the Kremlin in Crimea at the time
