The scariest this out there this #halloween isn’t the monsters you can see, but the ones you can’t until it’s staring you back in the mirror. Say it 3x COVID, COVID, COVID!

It’s spreading faster than a zombie apocalypse & cuts deeper than Edward Scissorhands. Be like Michael Myers & wear a mask!

The WH is reportedly planning a 40% cut—$20B—to NIH in its FY 2026 budget request, slashing it to $26.7B. This would be catastrophic for medical research. www.msn.com/en-us/health...

Congress must reject it. Our lives depend on it.

This is public health in action. Clear communication and getting the word out is the critical first step to protecting communities. (But please retire the flawed RECOVER 12-Sx Study & instead use the consensus 2024 NASEM Long COVID definition).

Closing the Office for Long COVID Research & Practice certainly affects science & health delivery.
