Let me address this. We wrote the grant to do this project in 2018. It was funded in 2020. We deliberately delayed this to devote time and effort to addressing Covid and Long Covid. My team and I remain committed to working on LC, but we cannot default on our other commitments.
I must admit, I'm disappointed the most trusted voice in Long COVID research has dedicated time to non-COVID study. There must be enough researchers around who can study GLP-1. Meanwhile, LC sufferers need solutions and most people are ignoring the risks of COVID reinfections.

My full testimony before the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Video here thanks to @luckytran 👇
"The burden of disease and disability from Long COVID is on par with the burden of cancer and heart disease. The best way to prevent Long COVID is to prevent COVID in the first place. There is no Long COVID without COVID." Brilliant testimony by @zalaly! #HELPLongCovid

Revisiting the long-term health effects of Covid vs flu 3 key points 1. Covid is worse than flu 2. Covid is more multisystemic; flu is more respiratory 3. Both covid and flu cause more health loss in the long-term than what is evident around the time of acute infection thelancet.com/journals/lanin…

From a young age, Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly wanted to work with data, but his father's battle with cancer inspired him to change paths. Now, as a clinical epidemiologist at the Veterans Affairs St. Louis Health Care System, he gets to do both. bizjournals.com/stlouis/news…

True leadership by Austrian physicians “COVID-19 is not a cold. It is not influenza. It is a systemic, vascular-damaging disease that only spreads via the respiratory route, via aerosols. COVID is neither over, nor is it a harmless infection without consequences.” Read🧵below
🧵 Austrian physicans: "We CAN’T take responsibility for the constant, unmitigated infection of the population w/ a vascular-damaging, neurotropic virus like SARS-CoV-2, in which a previous infection provides no long-term protection vs future infection.” t-online.de/gesundheit/krank…
