Trump administration set to abolish the Office of Long COVID Research and Practice - The Sick Times

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. 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.

The termination follows other steps that appear to target and erase federal responses to the Long COVID crisis.

      Okay I should have specified. The USA won’t declare a pandemic. Other countries may, but even if there is one in the USA, our regime occupying our government will say “our god fearing American patriots are the healthiest they’ve ever been and there’s no pandemic here” or some nationalist elitist bullshit statement like that

        No, I’m agreeing with you. The administration that wanted to stop testing because it showed the extent of the pandemic is back in power. I’m just saying that when Canada starts ringing their alarm bells I’ll be listening.

          Oh yeah. If Canada declares a pandemic, you can sure as shit count on the USA being affected shortly afterwards…even if they won’t admit it
