Both parties choose to ignore this still-unfolding public health crisis. Neither seeks to prevent further covid infections. Neither seeks to prioritize funding and research for covid and long covid treatment. Neither cares about you or your livelihood.

by Laura Weiss

For over four years, long COVID-19 patients and advocates have been frustrated by a lack of public acknowledgment of their condition and the ongoing long-term impact of COVID-19

“I was diagnosed with long COVID, which will disable me for the rest of my life.”

These were the words of Martha, addressed to Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris at a town hall event this month hosted by Univision for Latinx voters. Martha explained that after her illness left her unable to work, she applied for disability benefits. Yet three years later, she still has not received a response, leaving her homeless, broke, and unable to get medical treatment.

“I lost everything,” she said in an urgent, strained whisper. “How will you help the disabled people?”

Martha’s question was notable not just in its denunciation of the brokenness of the disability benefits system, but also because it was one of the first mentions of long COVID on the campaign trail. Though the Biden-Harris administration has claimed that “COVID no longer runs our lives,” some 17 million Americans have been disabled by long-term symptoms of COVID-19, with millions out of the workforce and an approximate cost of $1 trillion to the global economy. This condition disproportionately affects Latinx people, women, the LGBTQIA+ community, and people with disabilities.

Harris responded to Martha by pointing to her efforts to include long COVID as a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and plans to relieve medical debt. However, ADA designation does not impact benefits determinations, and the challenges to accessing care for this and other complex chronic illnesses go far beyond paying debts.

For over four years, long COVID patients and advocates have been frustrated by a lack of public acknowledgment of their condition, the long-term impact of COVID-19 and false claims that the pandemic is over. According to Meighan Stone, the executive director of the Long Covid Campaign and a long COVID sufferer herself, the town hall created an opening for advocates to rally for more funding and attention on this urgent issue in an upcoming administration.

On the heels of the event, the Long Covid Campaign, which is nonpartisan, connected with the Harris campaign’s newly appointed Disability Engagement Director, Anastasia Somoza, last week.

“She was incredibly responsive,” Stone said about the preliminary conversation, though time will tell whether policy shifts will follow should the campaign transition into power come January. The Trump campaign has not responded to her outreach efforts.

While this and other recent developments, such as a National Institutes of Health (NIH) conference last month on improving long COVID research and bills in Congress demanding a long COVID “moonshot,” to get $1 billion minimum in annual funding are promising, both the Harris and Trump campaigns have been quiet on the subject. Advocates agree that the next president must do better to acknowledge and address the urgency of long COVID and prevent the crisis from further growing.

“The lack of deep and direct involvement from the Harris campaign and [Biden] administration regarding long COVID is incredibly frustrating,” said Cynthia Adinig, a long COVID patient and co-founder of the BIPOC Equity Agency, based in Virginia. “As a patient, voter, and advocate, it’s disheartening to see the silence, especially when long COVID disproportionately affects marginalized communities.”

Dr. Lucky Tran, a science communicator based in New York, said that political campaigns need to take the impact of COVID-19 and long COVID more seriously and develop clear policies to prevent it.

“People see COVID as a poisonous electoral issue,” Tran said, adding that there are ways to make the topic more politically appealing. The burden of long COVID connects to popular issues like health care access, housing, guaranteed sick leave, and public benefits, which campaigns could leverage.

A new administration could also go far in supporting improved research and treatment efforts for long Covid. The RECOVER initiative for long COVID, launched in 2021 under the NIH, has faced widespread criticism for its slowness, inefficiency, and lack of focus on clinical trials and treatments.

“We’re more than four years and $1.15 billion into the COVID pandemic, and Americans living with long COVID, and it’s still a DIY project for patients,” Stone said. There are still zero FDA-approved treatments for long COVID.

Last month’s RECOVER-TLC (Treat Long COVID) conference at NIH focused on the additional $515 million allocated to the RECOVER initiative. NIH Director Dr. Monica M. Bertagnolli, who was appointed last year, led the conference alongside Dr. Jeanne Marazzo. Marazzo is a leader in HIV/AIDs research and the new head of the National Institute for Allergic and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the institute where RECOVER will now be housed. Stone said these appointments mark a positive “shift” for long Covid progress.

Tran noted that under a Trump administration, both appointments would likely be reversed, and funding for the initiative would be further slashed.

“The Trump administration has shown a hostility to funding that sort of biomedical research,” he said.

During the conference, Bertagnolli and Marazzo reaffirmed the seriousness of the long COVID crisis, their understanding of patient frustrations, and their commitment to addressing the problem head-on. Bertagnolli discussed the progress made thus far but admitted that it is time for clinical trials of treatments to get further underway. She committed to a “true partnership” with patients to “align around a common agenda…and really move this forward.”

The panels featured testimony by patient advocates, doctors, and researchers across disciplines. These experts offered perspectives on how to best identify trial participants, the importance of inclusivity and collaboration with patients in running trials, including pediatric trials, and the regulatory processes for getting treatments approved and in the hands of long COVID sufferers as quickly as possible.

“The meeting was extremely positive and productive and collaborative, and a real change in approach,” said Stone. But she stressed that any solution to this crisis must be inclusive. “That has to include people on Medicaid, on Medicare, hourly wage workers that don’t have health insurance, that is going to let them get access to specialists who are going to write prescriptions off-label,” she said, as well as communities of color.

Another challenge for these trials is to ensure that long COVID patients can safely participate without risking COVID reinfection. At the NIH meetings, few agency officials present wore masks, though the majority of patients did. On Oct. 29, the NIH announced it would be reinstating mask requirements for all clinical trials.

Still, Lisa McCorkell, the co-founder of the Patient Led Research Collaborative and a long COVID patient based in Oakland, California, who spoke at the event via videoconference, told Prism that the meetings left her “cautiously optimistic.”

Adinig echoed this sentiment but added that there is skepticism about the NIH in the chronic illness community.

“We’ve heard similar commitments before, and the follow-through has often been slow,” she said. “The advocacy community will need to keep pushing to make sure this momentum doesn’t fade.”

But both McCorkell and Stone spoke to the importance of securing more funding for long COVID research. Thus far, it has all come through annual presidential appropriations, making it vulnerable to changing priorities each year. “We need sustained, comprehensive, significant funding year over year,” said Stone.

Such funding could come from the Long COVID Moonshot, also brought about through dogged advocacy by groups such as the Patient Led Research Collaborative. Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), proposed legislation in the Senate in August that would guarantee $1 billion per year in funding for long COVID research. Reps. Ilhan Omar and Ayanna Pressley introduced similar legislation in the House last month with a handful of cosigners. However, it currently lacks bipartisan support.

But as McCorkell said, “Even if those conversations don’t result in a vote for this specific bill, it can go a long way in raising awareness for long COVID.” Stone added that White House support for efforts like Moonshot could go a long way.

Tran also pointed to the importance of the White House promoting ongoing COVID-19 prevention efforts and added that such efforts don’t need to be “all or nothing.” The administration could encourage mask-wearing, staying home when sick, and testing. It could also raise awareness about long COVID and commit to developing better vaccines and tests, and making them widely available, and improving indoor air quality. The government also needs to be much clearer about their public health guidance, especially that coming from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and publicly denounce mask bans, he added.

Meanwhile, Tran warned, another Trump presidency would likely cut healthcare access, as well as try to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), deregulate public health institutions, and weaken protections for disabled and other marginalized groups. Not to mention the impacts of banning abortion and ignoring climate goals, increasing the risk of future pandemics.

“We need to stop…thinking COVID is just a niche issue,” he said. “All of these issues are connected, no matter what you care about.”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a bid by anti-abortion activists to throw out more than $2 million in damages they were ordered to pay Planned Parenthood after secretly recording video of abortion providers in a scheme to try to show the illicit sale of aborted fetal tissue for profit.

The justices turned away the appeal by David Daleiden and his group, the Center for Medical Progress, of a lower court's decision in 2022 upholding most of the damages in a lawsuit by Planned Parenthood, a women's healthcare and abortion provider, accusing the defendants of conspiracy, eavesdropping and other claims. The lower court rejected the argument made by the defendants that with the secret recording they were exercising their right to free speech under the U.S. Constitution.

The justices announced their action on the first day of their new nine-month term.

Planned Parenthood filed suit in 2016 against Daleiden and his California-based organization in federal court in San Francisco seeking monetary damages, accusing them of violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and engaging in fraud, trespassing, breach of contract and illegal secret recording.

The case before the Supreme Court centered on whether Planned Parenthood, even though it did not sue for defamation, should have to overcome strict limits that the justices through past rulings have placed on damages that public figures may recover for alleged harms related to a publication.

Various activist groups on the left and right conduct undercover operations often involving secret recording. Daleiden and his team portray themselves as investigative journalists and have said that the judgment against them in the suit threatens undercover reporting, a technique that can help expose wrongdoing and corruption.

Planned Parenthood has said the defendants are "ideological activists" - not journalists - whose videos were heavily edited as part of a smear campaign aimed at destroying the organization.

Using a shell company and fake identification, the activists gained access to Planned Parenthood and National Abortion Federation conferences and other locations where they recorded staff using hidden cameras.

The Center for Medical Progress released videos in 2015 purporting to expose Planned Parenthood officials trafficking in aborted fetal parts, sparking controversy, congressional inquiries and investigations in various states.

Planned Parenthood denied profiting from fetal tissue donation for medical research. Lower courts concluded that the videos did not contain evidence of wrongdoing.

A jury sided with Planned Parenthood in the lawsuit, and a judge awarded $2.4 million in damages - including for security costs to prevent future infiltration and targeting of doctors and staff - as well as more than $13 million in attorneys' fees and costs that are the subject of a separate appeal.

The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld most of the award last year, concluding that the First Amendment did not protect the defendants.

Noting that damages had been awarded for harms related to the infiltration, not to Planned Parenthood's reputation, the 9th Circuit said, "Invoking journalism and the First Amendment does not shield individuals from liability for violations of laws applicable to all members of society."

Daleiden and another activist also face an upcoming criminal trial in California in connection with the secret recordings.

Paige and Microsoft unveil next-gen AI models for cancer diagnosis

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/paige-and-microsoft-unveil-next-gen-ai-models-for-cancer-diagnosis/

Paige and Microsoft unveil next-gen AI models for cancer diagnosis

.pp-multiple-authors-boxes-wrapper display:none; img width:100%;

Paige and Microsoft have unveiled the next big breakthrough in clinical AI for cancer diagnosis and treatment: Virchow2 and Virchow2G, enhanced versions of its revolutionary AI models for cancer pathology.

The Virchow2 and Virchow2G models are based on an enormous dataset that Paige has accumulated. Paige has gathered more than three million pathology slides from over 800 labs across 45 countries, on which the models were trained. Such a volume of data is, unsurprisingly, highly beneficial. This data was obtained from over 225,000 patients, all de-identified to create a rich and representative dataset encompassing all genders, races, ethnic groups, and regions across the globe.

What makes these models truly remarkable is their scope. They cover over 40 different tissue types and various staining methods, making them applicable to a wide range of cancer diagnoses. Virchow2G, with its 1.8 billion parameters, stands as the largest pathology model ever created and sets new standards in AI training, scale, and performance.

As Dr. Thomas Fuchs, founder and chief scientist of Paige, comments: “We’re just beginning to tap into what these foundation models can achieve in revolutionising our understanding of cancer through computational pathology.” He believes these models will significantly improve the future for pathologists, and he agrees that this technology is becoming an important step in the progression of diagnostics, targeted medications, and customised patient care.

Similarly, Razik Yousfi, Paige’s senior vice president of technology, states that these models are not only making precision medicine a reality but are also improving the accuracy and efficiency of cancer diagnosis, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in pathology and patient care.

So, how is this relevant to cancer diagnosis today? Paige has developed a clinical AI application that pathologists can use to recognise cancer in over 40 tissue types. This tool allows potentially hazardous areas to be identified more quickly and accurately. In other words, the diagnostic process becomes more efficient and less prone to errors, even for rare cancers, with the help of this tool.

Beyond diagnosis, Paige has created AI modules that can benefit life sciences and pharmaceutical companies. These tools can aid in therapeutic targeting, biomarker identification, and clinical trial design, potentially leading to more successful trials and faster development of new therapies.

The good news for researchers is that Virchow2 is available on Hugging Face for non-commercial research, while the entire suite of AI modules is now available for commercial use. This accessibility could accelerate advancements in cancer research and treatment across the scientific community.

In summary, the recently introduced AI models represent a major advancement in the fight against cancer. Paige and Microsoft have chosen the right path by combining the power of data with state-of-the-art AI technologies. These companies have created new opportunities for more accurate cancer prediction, paving the way for tailored solutions and innovative research in oncology.
