“This is an existential threat.”

"The #LongCOVID community must band together & resist draconian measures,” the anonymous researcher said. “Advocate for some stability for funding for LC research & care.” — @thesicktimes.bsky.social

NO TIME FOR FUTILITY, ACTION WORKS: “…studies now resuming include research into the pathobiology of LongCOVID in children, persistent SARSCoV2 viral reservoirs, vascular dysfunction, post-exertional malaise, reactivation of latent viruses like EpsteinBarr, & the link between SARSCoV2 & diabetes.”

"Despite this rapidly accumulating body of evidence regarding the pathobiology of long COVID, psychogenic and functional interpretations of the illness presentation continue to be endorsed by some healthcare professionals, creating confusion and inappropriate diagnostic and therapeutic pathways."

it as a crucial bread crumb in developing a more detailed
understanding of the pathobiology of PEM. Unfortunately, too often in science, we see that people with old ideas, big egos, power and privilege find curiosity and fresh ideas threatening to their chokehold on a field. 2/

Of the RECOVER Pathobiology Awards, I’m looking forward to seeing ‘Vascular metabolic dysfunction in skeletal muscle for explaining post-exertional malaise in PASC’

Grant awarded in ‘24

The PI from Univ. of Illinois is hopeful for late 2026 publication

and continuing to ignore it is no longer practical or consistent with the consensus science. SARS-CoV-2 persistence is a fact of #LongCOVID pathobiology. Denying it is fringe. Have a great day ✌🏼 /end

I recommend watching it all, but if you have limited time/energy, the talks that gave me the most new insights:
@buonsenso.bsky.social: connecting good POTS drug outcomes to HRV data
@petterbrodin.bsky.social: Powerful pathobiology data
@laelyonker.bsky.social: Larazotide as a LC drug target
The recording of the 1st meeting on #LongCovidKids is available online! youtube.com/watch?v=V6ll...
Check the talks of leaders in the field
@putrinolab.bsky.social, @resiapretorius.bsky.social, @binitakane.bsky.social, @petterbrodin.bsky.social, and others. Thank you, @buonsenso.bsky.social 🙌

The pathobiology grants were—I was going to say “among the” but nah they were just straight-up the most exciting work RECOVER did. This is a knife in the heart of that scientific project. I’m bereft.
The administration has canceled 45 RECOVER #LongCOVID grants. These grants examined pathology, & were vital to understanding infection-associated chronic illness as a whole.

Half of those with #LongCOVID at 6 mo. meet criteria for #MECFS. 🧪

I think this section might be referring to the pathobiology grants that were cut (given the reference to March and the OLC), but that was a small segment of the overall program. And those grants were restored thanks to advocacy! (3/4) thesicktimes.org/2025/03/28/u...

The NIH has announced $147 million in additional funding for RECOVER, and shared new details about how the new allocations this year ($662mil in total) will be spent:
- $300mil to clinical trials
- $18 mil to pathobiology
- other funds to observational studies and maintaining research infrastructure
