Please do not fall for these lies. RFK Jr has cut funding to Long COVID research, disbanded Long COVID committees, and spread misinformation about COVID vaccines and treatments. He can not be trusted to meaningfully advance Long COVID treatments, and will only exploit vulnerable communities.
During the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee hearing with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. today, Kennedy testified that he is "100% committed to finding treatments for Long COVID."

The Sick Times will continue to follow the story.
