Another travesty:
"Our #NIH grant to discover coronavirus antiviral meds was terminated today.
We'd developed a better SARSCoV2 inhibitor than Paxlovid +we recently discovered an improved drug that looks better than Pfizer's own 2nd-gen inhibitor.
Part of a complete elimin of COVID-related research, incl. #LongCOVID.
The rationale given is that the pandemic is over.
Ppl are dying of #COVID at several times the rate of flu +still getting long COVID."
