"Covid is over. It ended years ago." No it's not. Covid is still disabling thousands of people every day. You just stopped caring.

The Human Genome Project cost taxpayers $3 Billion.
Two decades on, it has generated a staggering return on investment of $1 Trillion, with benefits in medicine, agriculture, energy, the environment, & more.
If you want to boost the economy, funding science is one of the best things you could do.

I'm the Mom, But No One Listened to Me
My son had Long COVID. I assumed his situation would be understood, thanks to science. But I discovered that my voice wasn't heard even though it mattered most.

Long COVID is real. It’s common. It’s disabling millions.
And no one talks about it—because if we looked too closely, we’d have to change
So instead, we decided:
Let people get sick.
Let kids struggle.
Let the vulnerable disappear.
Let the numbers stop counting.

Stop saying “post covid”. People are confusing the end of the public health emergency with the end of the pandemic.
The pandemic is not over. “During COVID” is now.
If we want to end it, we need to first acknowledge this fact. Then mask up, clean the air & develop better vaccines & treatments.
