New #Trump #vaccine policy limits access to #COVID shots
By MATTHEW PERRONE and LAURAN NEERGAARD
Updated 5:01 PM EDT, May 20, 2025Excerpt: "The nation’s leading pediatrics group said FDA’s approach will limit options for parents and their children.
" 'If the vaccine were no longer available or covered by insurance, it will take the choice away from families who wish to protect their children from COVID-19, especially among families already facing barriers to care,' said Dr. Sean O’Leary of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
"Provisional data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows more than 47,000 Americans died from COVID-related causes last year. The virus was the underlying cause for two-thirds of those and it was a contributing factor for the rest. Among them were 231 children whose deaths were deemed COVID-related, 134 of them where the virus was the direct cause -- numbers similar to yearly pediatric deaths from the flu.
"The new FDA approach is the culmination of a series of recent steps under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. scrutinizing the use of COVID shots and raising questions about the broader availability of vaccines. It was released two days ahead of the first meeting of FDA’s outside vaccine experts under the Trump."

"Zombie" #COVID19 fragments linger for some, causing severe disease outcomes, new research reveals
A new finding could be the reason why some people have long COVID or die from SARS-CoV-2
By Nicole Karlis
Published February 2, 2024 3:02PM (EST)"This suggested that more serious COVID-19 outcomes are a result of these leftover fragments that are essentially overstimulating the immune system."

Is It Dangerous to Keep Getting COVID-19?
Story by Alice Park
January 10, 2024"[#Covid] reinfections aren't harmless. As cases continue to rise and more variants arrive on the scene, infectious-disease experts are warning that repeat infections could have cumulative, lasting effects.
“'There is some early evidence starting to show that if you had COVID-19, there can be all sorts of problems after getting infected' and reinfected, says Dr. Robert Murphy, professor of medicine and executive director of the Havey Institute for Global Health at Northwestern’s Feinberg School of Medicine. 'We are just at the beginning of learning about them.'"

‘Finally we’re believed’: #LongCovid sufferers hail new research saying they should avoid intense exercise
Maira Butt
Thu, January 4, 2024"Oonagh Cousins had just been pre-selected for the Tokyo Olympics when she was hit with Covid in March 2020.
"A new virus which would go on to have far-reaching consequences for the whole world was something that initially just felt like a mild cold to her.
It was only when the now-28-year-old was unable to take part in vigorous training exercises with her rowing team that the reality of her long Covid symptoms dawned on her.
"'I realised then, I was in it for the long haul,' she tells The Independent.
"Nearly four years on and long Covid has forced Oonagh, from Brentford, to completely retire from rowing because of the crippling symptoms."

Norfolk #LongCovid sufferer feels a 'changed person' after taking new #probiotic treatment
April 19, 2022
"In the first study Prof Thomas showed treating the gut to a blend of five different friendly bacteria called #lactobacillus #probiotics, combined with a chicory-rich ingredient known as an #inulin, helped with symptoms.
"In a second study, he found that a capsule containing a mix of other natural substances known as phytochemicals can significantly help further.
"He said: 'In our research group we designed a study looking at whether we could concentrate certain foods which would help some of the symptoms of #Covid.
"'The reason we used a capsule is we are able to concentrate foods in a much greater degree than you'd be able to eat.
"'Also you can take them in the morning, at lunchtime and have the foods that you wouldn't normally in a British diet take at those times. So things like chamomile, pomegranate, #turmeric, citrus bioflavonoids which come from #berries and things.'"

1/2 - So, I've been treating my own #LongCovid with #TurmericMilk, #VitaminD3, and #probiotics from various food sources (some with #VitaminK2), and consumed with #fiber-rich #prebiotics. I noticed that in addition to an improvement in my symptoms, I noticed an improvement with my anxiety and depression. It seems science is catching up with what I surmised -- that Covid messes with one's microbiome, which in turn affects our brains and other systems!
A new possible explanation for long COVID could lead to a simple treatment for some patients
By Erin Prater, October 16, 2023
"While it might seem logical that neurologic long COVID symptoms like brain fog, memory loss, and depression are caused by the presence of virus in the brain, researchers in Pennsylvania propose a different theory: that virus lingering in the gut causes such symptoms in a round-about way.
It works like this: SARS-CoV-2 lingering in the gut causes persistent inflammation, which leads to reduced production of serotonin—a chemical that sends messages between the brain and other parts of the body. It also plays a key role in regulating sleep, mood, digestion, and blood clotting, among other bodily functions.
A lack of serotonin, in turn, disrupts connectivity between the peripheral nervous system and the brain, causing neurologic symptoms."
