Ok I have an #NEISvoid hot take:

I agree we have too many Long Covid observational studies BUT I think we need to push for investment in pathobiology research more than trials.

Identifying disease mechanisms can produce treatment targets to direct trials, instead of throwing spaghetti at the wall.

long covid often presents as mecfs or similarly, which patient surveys have indicated carries a poorer quality of life than literally every type of cancer. it’s decimated my quality of life since contracting it in late 2022. exposing children to that fate for your own comfort is unconscionable
