#MECFS is idiopathic.
Causation is unknown.
History is littered with examples of unexplained phenomena, including diseases, initially explained by religious zealots or medically established dogma.

Statement from @MFA_Ukraine: “The Ukrainian side has noted another wave of manipulations regarding certain cooperation programs in the field of biosafety and public health in Ukraine.
We once again reject these groundless accusations and emphasize that Ukraine consistently fulfills its international obligations under the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BWC). The Ukrainian side has never engaged in any activities related to the development, production, or stockpiling of biological weapons.”
“The narrative of alleged "laboratories for the development of biological weapons" is not new—Russia has used it in its propaganda for many years. At the same time, all Russian accusations have been repeatedly debunked at the international level.”

This pandemic will continue as long as physicians, nurses and HCWs don't yet accept they need to step away from going into hazardous workplace conditions where basic PPE has become a political issue.

100% of my 1st year students used to want to go to medical school. I saw my job as showing them other paths by 4th year... which they were rarely interested in. But that desire has clearly slowed. Noticeably fewer of them want medical careers now, and I can't blame them.
This research covers ALL viruses.
The difference between a virus and bacteria is that there's no such thing as a "beneficial virus". ALL VIRUSES end up in the CNS leading to Neurodegenerative Diseases (NDDs) years after the acute phase. #AllVirusesAreBAD#NeuroCOVID#WearN95
Where the authors land?
A serious infection may act as a first hit that nudges the brain toward a slow neurodegenerative process. That's an argument for tracking post-viral patients long term - and for preventing infection in the first place - as public-health priorities.
We've known about this SARS immune system disconnect since 2012 and we've discussed the B/T cell disconnect against HCoV persistence often. This thread might explain. Of note, @fitterhappierAJ's #Leonardi_Effect is another way to learn the basics.

Do you want to know why we don’t often discuss how our Human Immune System (HIS) is affected by human coronavirus (HCoV) where there’s a disconnect between innate and memory immunity leading to exhaustion of HCoV activated T-Cells?
#Leonardi_Effect

We often say, "human immunity has a humoral/memory disconnect". They use "rogue" but they should have used "hijacked". B cells encountering a persistent HCoV infected cell, will "re-learn" to be suspicious of healthy human receptors and "go rogue". This treatment is a bandaid.
The early HIV community action groups were too busy arguing amongst themselves to realize that criticism needed to be directed towards political leaders. #MECFS & #LongCOVID groups are purposely being divided.
Anesthesiologists wear N95 PPE, for the exact same reason your physician doesn't wear N95, and neither of them can show up to work wearing flip flops, a Tutu skirt and tiara => Political leaders have manipulated Healthcare OHS and IPC standards. #WearN95x.com/i/status/1747000049320…

We might've clinically diagnosed SARS Survivors with PTSD, but never did we ever consider "let's try some GET and CBT". Then again, we followed the ethics, had compassion & morals and valued human life.
We need to look at PPE backwards.
Name any virus for which "N95 with eye protection" cannot prevent transmission. There are a few. When you have one or two, go look back, at why the #PrecautionaryPrinciple was decimated by politicians saying "where's the evidence?". #WearN95
"No definitive evidence has been presented that a specific infectious agent is necessary and sufficient to cause #Alzheimers"
Do you know why we can't obtain scientific evidence?
Because we can't autopsy human brains while the patient is still alive!

This thread might explain better.
When there's community immunity driving pressure, you can still predict the QS Swarm pattern, that is driven by community immunity.
x.com/i/status/1712959996667…
These are Quasispecies (QS) Swarm waves.
A result of multiple “cousin” waves with regional Constructive waves and localized Destructive waves.
But we don’t see this happening because we abandoned testing and community surveillance.
Great question. Not an easy answer.
Mutations are random.
Survival in the host is one pressure.
Community immunity is another pressure.
The advantage SARS has is a "borrowed" human ribosome, to be able to shed the tail, then know how to grow it back.
x.com/i/status/1712962967292…
QS Swarm theory is the sort of theoretical math that epidemiologists only expect to find in epidemiological examination questions.
Our laboratory research estimated that SARS has possibility of 3 “cousins”. Pure theory.
Guess who your physician will blame when your cholesterol levels are elevated?
Hint: they won't blame the SARS hijacking of your mitochondria. #VictimBlameGame#HijackedChickenCoop#WearN95
University of New Mexico researchers found SARS-CoV-2 ORF3a hijacks VPS39, misroutes NPC2 and breaks mitochondria-lysosome contacts, trapping cholesterol inside lysosomes.
A direct path from viral protein to cell dysfunction.

An N95 respirator and eye protection provide absolutely no protection against;
-vector-borne (mosquito)
- blood-borne (animal bite)
- sexually transmitted viruses
There's roughly 40 of them. That's how few viruses are ineffective against N95 with eye protection. #WearN95

If you have #LongCOVID and are seeking insight into biomarkers for chronic SARS, consider the following tests.
