Bernie Sanders speaking on #LongCovid and his recent moonshot proposal.

Excited to share the first Long COVID Keystone report: Long COVID and post‐acute sequelae of SARS‐CoV‐2 pathogenesis and treatment: A Keystone Symposia report - Durstenfeld published in Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences nyaspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ny…

We are thrilled about Bernie Sanders' proposed legislation for a #LongCovid moonshot of a mandatory $10b in research funding!

Please see our joint press release with Long Covid Moonshot here: patientresearchcovid19.com/press-releases/

Truly could not be more excited for this 😭

Thank you Bernie Sanders for your leadership, thank you Michael Peluso, MD for calling for this with me in our Nature comment, and thank you Long Covid Moonshot & entire #LongCovid community for getting us to this point!

Thank you nature for highlighting some of the tireless work done by pw #LongCOVID like Lisa McCorkell and LongCovidPharmD. Patient-led research enriches all aspects of clinical research and I’ll never not be grateful to my colleagues with lived experience who teach me every day

The fight against long COVID is not just a medical one. It is a moral one.

Long COVID can have devastating consequences and too many people now face debilitating symptoms as a result.

How many Americans need to suffer before Congress acts boldly to address this crisis?
