I asked a Trump health appointee if he believes in Long COVID. Couldn’t get a direct answer. I asked if he’d recommend the COVID vaccine. Couldn’t get a direct answer. Let’s set the record straight: Long COVID is real and vaccines work. Claiming otherwise is dangerous. youtu.be/RrhGV79z9NM

URGENT: FDA plans to limit COVID vaccine access to those 65+ and those with qualifying health conditions. It will be almost impossible for kids to get vaccinated against new variants. You can submit a comment today to oppose this. PLEASE submit here: www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

3 years ago I joined a panel of patients to determine how to allocate $4.8 million to Long COVID, ME/CFS, & dysautonomia research (the @patientled.bsky.social research fund). It was an amazing experience working with patients like @ahandvanish.bsky.social @themegascope.bsky.social & many more. 🧵

Despite the "Make America Healthy Again" slogan, new cuts by the Trump administration target pathobiology studies on Long COVID. These studies, nearly complete, could lead to major breakthroughs. Halting them now wastes past investments and undermines vital research. cen.acs.org/policy/resea...
