Whitney Fox argues that advocates, clinicians, and researchers must prioritize prevention and demonstrate the gravity of infection-associated chronic conditions like Long COVID by providing and wearing masks at public events.
thesicktimes.org/2026/10/19/c...
An audience at a conference wear masks while watching a presentation. The text reads, "The Sick Times. Conferences and advocacy events for IACCs must require masking. By Whitney Fox. Commentary." Many people with ME risk permanent deterioration to participate in advocacy. The least organizers and science conferences can do is protect us from further disablement from preventable infections by requiring masks.

I was kindly invited to give the final plenary at this year's American Society of Bioethics & Humanities annual meeting—I discussed being a global health professor who engages in advocacy

One thing I got asked is: should scientists or healthcare professionals remain politically neutral?

"Sometimes it's none of your business"

Screenshot of a Facebook comment exchange discussing why some people wear masks while driving alone in their cars. Profile names and pictures are obscured. - First comment: “I understand this but confused about folks wearing them alone in their cars?” The comment has 11 likes. - Reply: Explains that leaving a mask on can be easier than repeatedly removing and replacing it. - Ventilation: Someone unmasked may have recently been in the car, so the driver allows time for the air to clear. - Protecting others: A driver may be collecting an immunocompromised person and wants to avoid infecting them. - Other reasons: Some people wear masks to protect themselves from petrol or diesel fumes. - Closing remark: “Sometimes it’s none of your business.” The exchange highlights several reasons people may choose to wear masks while driving alone.

Every COVID-19 infection is another opportunity for long-term complications.

COVID-19 is more than a respiratory illness. COVID can affect multiple organs and systems throughout the body, with potential consequences that extend far beyond the initial infection.

(...)
WHN graphic with a dark background, turquoise accents, and the WHN logo at the top left. A label at the top right reads “Long COVID.” Large text reads: “Every COVID-19 infection is another opportunity for long-term complications.” Smaller text below reads: “COVID-19 can affect the brain, heart, blood vessels, immune system, and nervous system. Each reinfection carries the risk of lasting complications, including Long COVID.”

(...) Reducing exposure and preventing repeated infections remain important for protecting long-term health.

Prevention still matters. Wear a well-fitting respirator, improve indoor air quality, and take steps to reduce transmission.

The US will likely lose its measles elimination status. PAHO will announce it after the election. We’ve maintained our elimination status for decades. That’s the consequence of an HHS Secretary that sows doubts in vaccine science

European CDC announced the first case of shamonda virus in a human. This is a zoonotic virus transmitted by midges that circulates in livestock. It was first identified in 1965. It's unclear if the infection contributed to the demise of the patient.
