Recent discourse has really cemented for me that many objections to mask wearing are rooted in an insecure kind of masculinity. Wearers seen as 'weak' or 'scared'. This idea is as absurd as calling a soldier weak or scared because he or she chooses to wear a Kevlar vest.

Long COVID isn’t a fringe issue, it’s one of the most common chronic conditions in the U.S., yet treated like an afterthought. Symptoms vary, onset is delayed, and stigma keeps people quiet. The result? Millions suffering with little recognition or support.
Dark, grainy world-map background dotted with red circles, WHN logo at top left and a small page link at top right. Large white headline in a black box: “Long COVID is everywhere, so why are we ignoring it?” Sub-text below in white: “Five years in, there’s still no universal definition for Long COVID — but we do know it’s common, serious, and massively underestimated. The gap between its impact and the attention it gets is one of the pandemic’s biggest failures.” Footer line: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.” (Tiny link at top: whn.global/long-covid-in-context-prevalence-search-interest-and-funding/) Blurred newspaper/magazine background with the word “COVID-19”; WHN logo top left and page link top right. Big white headline in a black box: “The numbers are huge, but the response is not.” Body text: “Long COVID affects 5.3% of U.S. adults — about 90× the threshold for a ‘rare’ disease. Some studies estimate up to 36% globally. Millions of children are also affected. But funding? Awareness? Government response? Nowhere near proportional.” Footer line: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.” (Link: whn.global/long-covid-in-context-prevalence-search-interest-and-funding/) Photo of a masked young person outdoors with foliage behind them. WHN logo top left and page link top right. Large headline in a black box: “So… why this disconnect?” Bullet list in white text: • “Symptoms vary across every organ system” • “Onset can be delayed by weeks or months” • “Fatigue, hair loss, cognitive issues get dismissed or misattributed” • “Stigma + medical gaslighting shut people down” • “Psychological defenses (denial, rationalization) help society look away” Inset black box caption: “The result? A crisis hiding in plain sight.” Footer line: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.” (Link: whn.global/long-covid-in-context-prevalence-search-interest-and-funding/) Close-up portrait of a person wearing an N95 respirator; WHN logo top left and page link top right. Large headline in a black box: “Here’s the good news… prevention still works.” White text box below: “N95s work, clean air reduces transmission, and layered precautions protect both individuals and communities, and together, these tools directly reduce how many people develop Long COVID.” Footer line: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.” (Link: whn.global/long-covid-in-context-prevalence-search-interest-and-funding/)

So you’re going to start masking again to prevent Covid since it causes cancer too, right?

It's also time to stop using the naturopathic term "natural immunity" and replace it with "disease-acquired immunity" to emphasise all of its disadvantages.

A study on 1.7 million people in Hong Kong shows superior hybrid immunity to Covid in people who got vaccinated before infection vs. people who got infected first. "Our findings are a direct rebuttal to arguments for natural immunity," the authors write. doi.org/10.1016/j.va...

“I haven’t thought about COVID in a long time.”

For a lot of people, that’s the whole story: if they bounced back, it feels like the crisis is over. But for those living with Long COVID, life never went back to normal, and that gap between realities is its own kind of wound.
Visual: Dark outdoor scene; a white N95 respirator lies on a log at the bottom right. Text: whn.global (top left) • whn.global/long-covid-my-brother-in-law (top right) “I haven’t thought about COVID in a long time.” Let’s unpack how forgetting became normal, even as Long COVID continues to disable people whose suffering remains mostly unseen. Footer: The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world. Visual: Black, paper-like background with white text only. Text: whn.global (top left) • whn.global/long-covid-my-brother-in-law (top right) Most people outside of COVID-aware spaces feel like this. If they’re not currently sick, it feels like the pandemic is over, or might as well be. David Brasure, the author of a new WHN article, talks about how this isn’t malice, it’s emotional self-preservation: people’s “nervous systems” hit a limit, the walls go up, and conversations shut down. Footer: The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world. Visual: Black background; a white 3M N95 mask with yellow straps appears at the lower left. Text: whn.global (top left) • whn.global/long-covid-my-brother-in-law (top right) For people living with Long COVID, that gap is brutal. They’re “watching people [they] love act like none of it matters, while [their] life is barely functioning.” Brasure links this to “identity-protective cognition”: we believe what keeps us in good standing with our community. Doctors and friends “folded” not because they don’t care, but because they’re tired, want normal, and are protecting their place in the tribe. But, as he writes, “reality doesn’t care about tribes.” Footer: The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world. Visual: Black background; on the right, a person in a blue sun hat and black respirator faces left in profile. Text: whn.global (top left) • whn.global/long-covid-my-brother-in-law (top right) Long COVID is real. It’s wrecking lives. We delay, deny, and look away, until reality becomes a brick wall that “doesn’t bend, doesn’t negotiate, it shows up.” For those who are sick, the message is: hold on. The tide is turning; the world will eventually see what you’ve been enduring.

People would go wild if MS or lupus were airborne, but Covid is airborne, and it can reactivate EBV, which is linked to both. It’s biologically plausible that we’re seeing more MS- and lupus-related illness after widespread airborne viruses. So mask up 😷

Sharing information about Covid is not fear mongering, it’s “life mongering” because we’re trying to remind people of how precious life is, and how damaging Covid is to it.

It should be a national scandal that the official government excuse for not recognising COVID-19/ Long Covid as an occupational illness is because community transmission is now so prevalent. This is an admission of failure and abandonment of public health. The repercussions will be felt for decades.
Screenshot of Dáil question posed by Pádraig Mac Lochlainn to Minister for health asking her views on ongoing calls for the State to recognise long-Covid as an occupational illness in line with other EU member states. 5 November 2025 Screenshot of Minister for Health reply: The eligibility criteria set when the Special Scheme was first introduced were designed to ensure that employees supported by the Special Scheme included those working in a COVID exposed environment in the period before PPE and vaccinations were readily available, and before community transmission became more prevalent. Further to this, the Minister for Social Protection has reviewed the EU recommendation in respect of the recognition of Covid (not long Covid) as an occupational illness, and has determined that Covid does not meet the criteria required for recognition in respect of the Social Welfare Acts.
