This doesn't get to the source of the problem, though. Yes, the states are failing, but they aren't doing this on their own. They have medical advisers, councils, agencies, departments, and so on, staffed by experts who promote the standard lie about this all being a fake psychogenic illness, or whatever it is they happen to believe.
No government in the world will make a big push for medical research about a disease that medicine not only does not believe in, but is willing to throw everything pushing back against anyone who tries to solve it.
The root cause of the problem is the medical profession. Nothing will change until the blame is pointed where it belongs. Governments will always be able to hide behind them, and they won't able to overcome seeing the economic and financial disaster that it causes when they keep being assured by 9/10 medical expert that doing something is exactly what causes the problem in the first place, no matter how insane and false this assertion is.
And most of us here are sick of hearing this nonsense. Research is barely crawling along, facing every obstacle in the way. This is basically the perfect context for indefinite failure. None of this will work without a significant level of interest and motivation within the medical profession. It may have gone from 1 all the way to a solid 2, on a scale of 100, because of Long Covid, but that's the very best case. It probably needs a solid rounding up to get all the way up there. The scale of this failure is beyond absurd, it makes Lysenkoism seem smart, because at least the Soviets gave up on it.
It's still great to see this motivation happening, but until the medical profession is held accountable for decades of intentional failure, nothing will change. It will need to hurt, there will have to be severe consequences and punishment to break this cycle of systemic violence and negligence. This should be treated with the seriousness of someone intentionally detonating a nuclear bomb in a large city, with the whole chain of command somehow going along with it. Anything short of that will either fail, or fall so short of it that it's the same.
The whole idea behind "justice delayed is justice denied" is that we have short lifetimes. If a solution is found 30 years from now, almost none of us will be able to enjoy it, it will have been denied to us, and it has already been denied to tens of millions who are already dead.
