“I also center long-haulers in my reporting, treating them as active protagonists of their own stories instead of passive beneficiaries of medical aid. I want readers to empathize, not gawk.” - @edyong209.bsky.social#chronicillness
I wrote an op-ed for the NYT about what reporting on long COVID has meant to me—how I approached it, the impact it had, and how it taught me to be a better journalist. This piece is sort of a manifesto for a journalism grounded in compassion, rigor, and care. www.nytimes.com/2023/12/11/o...

The message that the Covid vaccine is not necessary for some is confusing & will deter many people who would benefit from getting it b/c they don’t realize they are “high risk.”
Yes, everyone should get an updated Covid vaccine.
