Trump administration set to abolish the Office of Long COVID Research and Practice
The Trump administration is set to dismantle the federal government’s Office of Long COVID Research and Practice (OLC) this week as part of a larger restructuring of health agencies, sources have told The Sick Times.

The termination follows other steps that appear to target and erase federal responses to the Long COVID crisis.
This news, also reported by POLITICO and the Substack Inside Medicine, represents another blow among several moves this administration has taken to diminish federal resources for studying and supporting people with Long COVID.
High cruelty payoffs! That's always the top concern for Republicans.
America is being set up for devastation when the next pandemic hits.
No need to wait for the next pandemic, this will cause devastation due to the previous one.
Well yeah, the same people set us up for devastation for the last one.
I'm convinced if Trump wasnt president telling everyone to eat horse paste both economic and overall recovery time from covid would have been half of what they were. He is causing chaos for the world.
He was the one who fired the people responsible for preparing for that exact scenario.
More than that, he's the one who thought that the existence of the pandemic made him look bad. He simply did not understand the concept of leadership and how he could have ended up looking better if he had tried to unite the country to make it through the crisis.
Because of this, the administration and campaign focused on downplaying the whole thing. They turned humans vs a plague into a partisan issue. And because the right wing propaganda machine exists to amplify these kinds of talking points, all the pro-Trump media followed suit and told millions of Americans whatever would get them to stop listening to public health officials.
The sad fact is that Trump is responsible for more than just the massive number of unnecessary covid deaths. He's personally responsible for convincing a large portion of the population that vaccines and public health must opposed, and that will keep the body count rising for decades.
If you ever needed a definition of evil, it would be this.
It’s like every single decision that this regime makes is guaranteed to be the most evil, sociopathic option.
I really need this research to continue for my wife’s health. It kills me seeing her struggle everyday.
Sorry to hear. If you or your wife are in need of a support group, we’d love to have you at https://s4me.info/
Thank you for sharing. We were lucky enough to have a long COVID program at a clinic near by and she is getting for POTS which long COVID can commonly due since recent studies. But sadly their funding already got pulled to pause and now recent news may cause it to close up shop. I really do think they got off to a good start and felt like they were going to touch a milestone of results for next steps.
