Trek opnieuw de rode lijn! Het is nu belangrijker dan ooit om onze stem te laten horen en druk uit te oefenen op de Nederlandse regering om haar verantwoordelijkheid te nemen. Trek iets roods aan, sluit je aan bij de demonstratie voor Gaza, en trek samen met ons op 15 juni de Rode Lijn.

Wat een geweldige opkomst in Den Haag, 100.000 mensen! Plus de mensen die hetzelfde vinden maar er niet zelf bij kunnen zijn, zoals ik. Mijn Joodse voorouders zouden trots zijn, want kritiek op Israels genocidale gedrag is geen antisemitisme maar menselijkheid. #RodeLijn #Gaza

I’ve received 20 reports so far, and what I’ve read is unbelievable! These serious reactions should’ve been in the drug info long ago. Yet there’s not a single case report about this dangerous sleep deprivation. Here we are, creating our own data, open to scientists.

#5YearsOfLongCovid Today on #LongCovidAwarenessDay2025 many people will be speaking out about their lives and experiences with Long Covid. For many, from one day to another their lives were never the same. #LongCovid #HalfADecadeOfNeglect🧵
Guus is a woman with long brown hair and glasses. She is lying in a hospital bed with a purple sheet and a pink-orange blanket in a living room. A small black dog is resting beside her on the bed. She has a serious expression and holds a protest sign in front of her face that reads: “Long Covid is a mass disabling event. We need help now”. The room has multiple posters and signs on the walls, written in Dutch, advocating for awareness and stronger policies for Long COVID patients. One of the posters says, “Ik ben al 1521 dagen ziek. Hoe lang nog?” (I have been sick for 1521 days. How much longer?). Another sign on the bedside table reads, “5 jaar Long COVID. Nog steeds geen beleid” (5 years of Long COVID. Still no policy). There is a wooden cabinet in the background.

A #SciencePerspective by @zalaly.bsky.social and @erictopol.bsky.social identifies key issues that need to be prioritized in the study of #LongCovid. Learn more on #LongCovidAwarenessDay: scim.ag/3XKbds3
Many forms of Long Covid: Long Covid is a multisystemic disease with sequelae that affect almost all organ systems. Various putative mechanisms that underlie these sequelae are not mutually exclusive and may explain the myriad health effects seen in Long Covid. Therapeutics that target these pathways, such as antivirals, anti-inflammatory agents, microbiome restoration, and anticoagulant drugs, may ameliorate symptoms.
