TRIGGER WARNING:

It has come to my attention that Prof. Dr. Kleinschnitz from the Universitary Hospital of Essen has maid claims that Long COVID is mainly a psychosomatic issue and that these people draw too much attention.

He goes further by openly critizing a recent study from Denmark that found biological musscle changes in Long COVID patients.
See here (german): https://www.fr.de/panorama/forschun...vid-studie-symptome-ursachen-zr-92761522.html

Why is this a problem? This guy is the clinic director of the neuro-department of a uni-hospital and oppenly lobbying against long COVID. He is most likely bought by insurance companies that dont want to pay. I suspect him to be corrupt.

https://twitter.com/nervensystemck This is his twitter account where he openly spreads fake news and false claims. Its very triggering and I dont recommend reading everything.

Why do I post this? I want to raise awarness that we 1) Expose Dr. Kleinschnitz for what he is: A fake-news spreading corona disbeliever 2) Cant recommend getting treated at Universitary Hospital fo Essen currently as he is the clinic director of the neuro-department.

My dear germans, avoid Dr. Kleinschnitz and the Universitary Hospital of Essen.
