Every single person is one breath in the wrong room away from a disease that is your worst possible nightmare. Investing in long covid research is an investment for everyone.
Maeve supported: Urge HHS Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr to Expedite Approval of Pemgarda for Long COVIDI have LongCovid. My doctors have recommended against any further vaccination becasue of my unique risk profile and because the vaccines cause me harm. Infections with covid have a dramatic effect on my health and Pemgarda is a safe alternative for protection so I can get back to participating in society.
david supported: Urge HHS Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr to Expedite Approval of Pemgarda for Long COVIDI'm only 36 years old & have had severe long Covid for 3 years & 4 months. We need help now! I want my life back!!!
Lindsey supported: Urge HHS Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr to Expedite Approval of Pemgarda for Long COVIDI have had Long Covid for 3 years now. Despite my efforts, it is a continuous uphill battle.
Walter supported: Urge HHS Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr to Expedite Approval of Pemgarda for Long COVIDI got a virus back in January of this year and ever since then I've been experiencing so many different symptoms and it's brutal. This has been going on for 4 months and while I am improving it is so gradual. It is at the point where I get different symptoms during the day too. I've had a wide range of symptoms from dizziness when standing, ringing in the ears, bowel movements all messed up, indigestion, burping, bloating, stomach acid come up, random fatigue, mild breathing issues, muscle tightness / pain all over, joint pain, eye strain, derealization / depersonalization, abdominal pain, extreme anxiety, night sweats, and so much more. I'm already seeing my 5th doctor tomorrow and hopefully get to the bottom of the GI issues. Doctors have no clue what is going on or can even make sense of it. The only way I've been managing so far is by taking nattokinase, vitamins, going gluten free, and trying to destress and go for walks. Not trying to overexert myself either as I'm trying to avoid developing other conditions that could lead to me being bed bound. I have spent so much time researching and reading other people's stories. There is so much suffering going on and so many people who once had active lives are now bed bound and left fighting on their own. We need help and we need it now. For all those who are suffering from MCAS / POTS / ME-CFS / NEUROLOGICAL ISSUES / GI ISSUES / ETC due to this virus we need the help. It's time now that we get back to our former selves and have a productive life. 5%-10% of the USA population are suffering in silence. And doctors are of no help either. Please we are begging for your help. This problem is going to get worse as time goes on as more people are getting infected and end. up with something like this. All we hold onto is hope that we will get better one day and that hope is what is pushing us through. But hope is not enough, we need a proper solution for so many people who are suffering.
Raj supported: Urge HHS Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr to Expedite Approval of Pemgarda for Long COVIDAs someone with a disability that is not even the one being mocked, this is hurtful. The more hate and misinformation we put into the world, the more common it will be. Most platforms have policies against hate speech and mockery, so this podcast needs to go! These aren’t just “jokes”, these are harmful words that impact people’s access to healthcare.
Sophie supported: Tell Dear Media to Drop “The Toast” Podcast for Mocking Disabled PeopleAs a former frontline healthcare worker now disabled by contracting Long Covid from a patient because I did NOT have access to proper medical personal protective equipment, their mocking of people like myself is absolutely disgusting! They should not be allowed to continue to have a public platform that allows this kind of sickening behavior.
Jessica supported: Tell Dear Media to Drop “The Toast” Podcast for Mocking Disabled PeopleAs someone who was utterly disabled by long covid and who cares for many others in similar situations (as well as the 400 million people worldwide living with LC), it is despicable that two podcasters would joke about such a debilitating condition that has no known cure. It is not cool to make fun of people with other debilitating health conditions that have similar quality-of-life scores, but it is okay to do so with Long COVID? No. It's not. This is hate speech.
Lindsay L supported: Tell Dear Media to Drop “The Toast” Podcast for Mocking Disabled PeopleLong COVID is very real. I’ve written several articles about major hospitals around the country who have launched specialty clinics for long haulers. The lasting effects are very real and shouldn’t be mocked.
Linda supported: Tell Dear Media to Drop “The Toast” Podcast for Mocking Disabled PeopleAs someone disabled by LC for years now, I can hardly watch this clip… the comments are disgusting. LC is a postviral illness, no different from MECFS in many cases. MECFS has been recognized as a biological illness by the WHO since the 1960s. There are countless studies showing abnormalities in the body due to this devastating illness. The hosts of this podcast are mocking the only minority group which anyone can join at any time.
