Six years since the height of the pandemic, the scientific community remains baffled by long Covid. But there might finally be a way forward for long Covid treatment—if only you were allowed to talk about it.

Becca Kennedy, the former lead of a multistate long Covid specialty group for Kaiser Permanente, has a controversial theory. She believes long Covid belongs to a family of chronic conditions that occur when the brain gets stuck in a feedback loop of fight or flight. www.wired.com/story/the-pa...
The result is a cascade of symptoms she attributes to nervous system dysfunction. The solution, Kennedy argues, is retraining the brain to break the loop. www.wired.com/story/the-pa...
WIRED contributor Alan Levinovitz has spoken with a dozen formerly bedbound sufferers who credit brain retraining with partial or full recoveries from severe long Covid and other conditions. Hundreds more have shared testimonials about a range of similar approaches. www.wired.com/story/the-pa...

But outside of the community, such recovery stories are frequently met with skepticism and frustration. www.wired.com/story/the-pa...
Some advocates worry that emphasis on psychological therapies will distract from biomedical research that could yield a breakthrough disease-targeting intervention. Read the full story here: www.wired.com/story/the-pa...
#1: Peer Reviewed and from Mass General with precision phenotyping! But let us ignore or hide these results- like immune evasive variants! This from 10 M bsky.app/profile/tomk...
News Release 27-May-2026 "Long Covid burden continues to grow, doubling current surveillance estimates, multi-hospital study shows: Mass General Brigham-developed AI tool identified over 10 million cases undetected by existing diagnostic systems" www.eurekalert.org/news-release... #LongCovid 1/
11/2024: 300000 suject study! We ignored the study! bsky.app/profile/670r...
There is an AI Study from Mass General since 11/2024 - that over 20% of those with Covid Infections have Long Covid and in the last 14 months those afflicted got worse including reinfections and added more by 10s on millions across all age groups: www.massgeneralbrigham.org/en/about/new...
The guy who has repeatedly written about why biophysical disabilities are not real and people are faking in articles and a book did it again! And you let him “There is no such thing as Long Covid” Alan Levinovitz yesterday to a journalist with Long Covid on Twitter www.celiac.com/celiac-disea...
Same guy: www.celiac.com/celiac-disea... Also: “students are faking disabilities to get accommodations”
He’s writing a book on this, he said yesterday he thinks long Covid doesn’t exist after previously saying it’s psychogenic And he’s widening his net of which disabled patients to go after next in real time, with radio silence from @wired.com bsky.app/profile/emil...
Well buckle up because he said today that he’s going after EDS (hEDS specifically) and MCAS In particular EDS/MECFS patients with brain/spine issues because the expert neurosurgeons are “exploitative” and surgeries are “dangerous” Some highlights: This is so fucked up, @wired.com make this right
