Long COVID awareness is powered by community.

Around the world, organizations, advocates, researchers, and patient groups are creating powerful resources to educate others and push for better understanding of Long COVID.

Tell the Government: Protect VPN use in the UK Take action! Protect VPN use in the UK VPNs help people to stay private and safe online. Young people use them to avoid harassment, or protect location data. Companies use them to make sure remote…

MPs have passed an amendment giving the government powers to restrict access to VPNs.

Imposing digital ID checks will turn people away from using a tool that keeps them safe and secure online.

Instead it'll fuel the surveillance-based economy that causes harms.

Sign our petition to protect VPNs ⬇️

COVID infections are not harmless. Research shows that initial and repeated COVID-19 infections can increase the risk of long-term health problems affecting multiple organ systems. Preventing infection and reinfection helps reduce these risks.

Long COVID can affect many systems in the body. Researchers have documented more than 200 symptoms, ranging from fatigue and brain fog to heart, lung, and neurological problems.

The symptoms shown here are only a small sample. Preventing infection helps reduce the risk of Long COVID.

Even one COVID infection can have lasting impacts on the heart, brain, and blood vessels. Prevention is long-term health care.

Anyone can become disabled at any time.

Your life can change in an instant, no matter how strong and healthy you think you are.

People will leave you. Funds will dry up. Life will get tougher.

It’s not a moral failing.

“Our findings redefine SARS-CoV-2 infection as a condition of long-lasting immune compromise.”

Don't tell anyone. Minimizers say there's no evidence that COVID damages our immune systems, and it's scaremongering to say that it does.

We knew in 2020 that COVID, like HIV, causes lymphopenia.

After years of evidence, the Covid Inquiry hearings end today.

The Inquiry will publish 8 reports over the next 2 years that will provide a blueprint for changing this country and saving lives.

But that change will only happen if we fight for it.
