Millions of Americans live with infection-associated chronic conditions and illnesses, including long COVID, ME/CFS, and Lyme disease–associated chronic symptoms; conditions that are often debilitating, misunderstood, and under-recognized. In a new Clinical Infectious Diseases viewpoint, CAPT Iskander and Dr. Haridopolos of the Office of the U.S. Surgeon General call for making these “invisible illnesses” visible through patient-centered care, stronger surveillance, multidisciplinary management, and continued research investment. The article emphasizes the importance of validating patients’ lived experiences while advancing evidence-informed care to improve outcomes for people living with these complex chronic conditions.

To point out the amateur propagandist's fallacy, that the only form of suppression is deplatforming. This was popular in Russia briefly, that any criticism was proof it wasn’t a dictatorship. We know Musk abuses his control of X for political influence. We won’t see how much.

😂 Free speech equals my speech. Neutrality equals my side. Objectivity equals my views. Same as it ever was.

How it started. How it’s going.
