I stand again with @apresj20 and the other patient-led advocacy groups against poor research on #LongCovid, which has been, sadly, published even in a reputable medical journal like @JAMAInternalMed
We need only the top biomedical and patient-researchers to work on Long Covid

Unfortunately, we have seen a few very poor studies, such as the one recently published in @JAMAInternalMed, make it into medical journals with a good standing in the discipline. Such studies are led by psychiatrics or psychologists with no specific expertise on #LongCovid
#LongCovid, the funding made available to study it, and the paradigm shifts this pandemic is bringing about in medicine, are a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform how we approach the spread of pathogens, post viral diseases, concepts of disability etc.
I hope medical professionals, health bodies, policy makers and other stakeholders will not squander this transformative opportunity to change medicine, and how we approach disease on a societal level
Old-fashioned approaches to complex, viral onset diseases are now out of place
