This is the first of a three part series where Dr Asad Khan and I talk to Professor Carmen Scheibenbogen from the University Hospital Charite in Berlin. She’s a long recognised expert in the field of ME/CFS, and has recently been researching patho-mechanisms and treatments in Long Covid.

In this film we talk about the two types of Long Covid that were recognised in her paper that was published in Nature Communications, and just how big a role auto-immunity might play in driving the condition.

The paper discussed in the video:

Before I caught Covid in March 2020 I was a filmmaker. I’m not well enough to go back to work yet (shoot days are brutal), but I’ve decided to indulge my passion by breaking down the hottest recent films and TV shows (from an insider’s perspective) to describe exactly how they work. Sound interesting? Here’s my first film on my second channel, on Top Gun vs Top Gun Maverick (and why the sequel is better!)
