"Appearing before a key U.S. Senate committee on Jan. 18, one of the world’s
foremost authorities on long COVID-19 laid it on the line. “We developed
vaccines at warp speed,” said Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly, a clinical epidemiologist at
Washington University in St. Louis. “We are doing trials for long COVID at
snail speed.”
These were strong words, backed by statistics and set against the backdrop of a
feeble first swipe at long COVID by the National Institutes of Health that has
been widely viewed as a disastrous squander of time and money. But the issue is
too serious to spend much time looking for scapegoats.
Based on data collected in 2022, an estimated 18 million people in the U.S. and
65 million worldwide have been hit with the debilitating effects of long COVID,
and that count is almost certainly rising. In his Congressional testimony,
Al-Aly said the U.S. number alone was at least 20 million."
