MassME joined the Solve ME/CFS Initiative and 18 other leading chronic disease stakeholders in sending a powerful letter urging Congress to fund millions of dollars in new National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) research into the post-viral health complications for long-term COVID-19 (Long COVID) survivors. According to Dr. Anthony Fauci, roughly 2.6 million Americans could be temporarily or permanently disabled by Long COVID symptoms. Congress must act now and fund new research into the health needs of this rapidly growing patient population.
