Just quickly sharing from Minneapolis's Star Tribune.
Star Tribune: "Frustrating futility on long COVID"
"So far, the National Institutes of Health's progress has left patient advocates and some scientists underwhelmed. Accountability and oversight are needed."
"It didn't seem to be a house-on-fire moment, which it should have been," Osterholm said.
"So far, it doesn't appear that Congress has held a hearing to scrutinize NIH's use of long COVID funding. Accountability and oversight are needed."
"Rep. Anna Eshoo, a California Democrat, deserves praise for her prominent advocacy for this. We'd also like to see Minnesota Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith get involved, a view shared by Billy Hanlon, a prominent patient advocate for those struggling with post-COVID conditions. He is the director of advocacy and outreach for the Minnesota ME/CFS Alliance."
"An independent expert review, one authorized and funded by Congress, of the NIH's strategy would be preferable to a politically infused congressional hearing."
"Confidence that initial long COVID funding was well spent is critical for future appropriations. Those struggling with long COVID, and those who will as the virus continues to circulate, deserve the nation's help in finding relief and reclaiming their lives.
