Ah, it looks like many are leaving comments on the YouTube version of the podcast. I will be joining!

Is there a place we can email in to express our disappointment?

#oneofthetwo. My sister, @harttandsoul.bsky.social , had eye surgery this morning. We were the only 2 wearing masks in waiting room, but we were #twoofthetwo.

Jon Stewart and the pod saves guys mocking people who wear masks while talking about What Is To Be Done is exactly what Jon Stewart and the pod saves guys are, it's the most Jon Stewart and pod saves guys thing possible.

Dear Jon Stewart c/o @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social
I recently watched, with great surprise and disappointment, a weeklyshowpodcast segment in which you and other "personalities," gleefully mocked and derided the relatively small subset of individuals who continue to wear a face mask in public.

"Covid is over. It ended years ago." No it's not. Covid is still disabling thousands of people every day. You just stopped caring.

Excellent LC description.

The Human Genome Project cost taxpayers $3 Billion.

Two decades on, it has generated a staggering return on investment of $1 Trillion, with benefits in medicine, agriculture, energy, the environment, & more.

If you want to boost the economy, funding science is one of the best things you could do.

He is absolutely disgusting

Hi, @motherjones.com disabled disability reporter here, I really want to hear about how tariffs are impacting disabled, chronically ill, and aging folks. Reposts appreciated and my email is jmetraux@motherjones.com.

Thank you!!!

When do you think a monoclonal might be ready? So hard being so sick for years….

Thinking of you, Whitney!

I'm the Mom, But No One Listened to Me My son had Long COVID. I assumed his situation would be understood, thanks to science. But I discovered that my voice wasn't heard even though it mattered most.

Becky Diamond describes repeated experiences of teachers & clinicians not believing her child was sick, including with Long Covid.

Genetic breakthroughs could point pharma to a long COVID drug The discoveries also hold potential benefits for patients with other conditions, such as chronic fatigue syndrome.

Lashes look ridiculously long!

My adult daughter Rachel works everyday, pays taxes, loves going to movies with her friends, and listens to awful (IMO) music.

Our U.S. Dept HHS has lost all of its humanity, compassion, and intellectual curiosity

And people will just see the headline. Boooo.

What do yall know about Plasma replacement therapy? Does it help?

Haven’t read the study, but also wonder if 10 sessions is enough. I think probably not.

Just want to say thanks for all of your posts!

Same! Not in a trial, but taking it on my own and feel that it is responsible for an energy uptick.

Flyer for Long Covid clinical trial of low dose rapamycin. Researchers are investigating effects of a 12 week course of low dose Sirolimus (Rapa) bs placebo in adults with Long Covid. You’re eligible if you have a positive test for COVID and a diagnosis of long covid. There are 5 in person visits required over the 6 month study period. There are blood draws, in person meetings, saliva collection and online surveys required. If you’re interested, please email coreresearch@mountsinai.org.

We’re truly excited that the PolyBio supported Low-dose Rapamycin trial is now recruiting in the NYC area.

Long COVID is real. It’s common. It’s disabling millions.
And no one talks about it—because if we looked too closely, we’d have to change

So instead, we decided:
Let people get sick.
Let kids struggle.
Let the vulnerable disappear.
Let the numbers stop counting.

Suggesting the world is “post COVID” contributes to an unwitting shift in research priorities

Stop saying “post covid”. People are confusing the end of the public health emergency with the end of the pandemic.

The pandemic is not over. “During COVID” is now.

If we want to end it, we need to first acknowledge this fact. Then mask up, clean the air & develop better vaccines & treatments.

Donnnnne!

"Post pandemic"
"During the pandemic"
"During lockdowns"
"Back in Covid times"
"Covid is over"

These statements all sound ridiculous given the >23 million U.S. adults reporting long Covid with no treatments

Covid is still ongoing! Language matters.

MMR vaccine doesn’t just prevent measles, mumps, and rubella. It also prevents RFK Jr. from showing up at your child’s funeral to exploit your grief at your most vulnerable moment.
