Urgent scientific research into mechanisms/pathways causing Long Covid & Post-Viral ME/CFS

Trish · Feb 26, 2022

The petition is by an organisation called Long Covid Patient Action UK.

Campaigners from Long Covid Patient Action UK wish to highlight the urgent need for targeted scientific and biomedical research into the mechanisms and pathways causing the debilitating Long Covid/Post-Acute Covid Syndrome.
[...]
We ask that the Government urgently fund targeted, lab-based immunology, haematology, microbiology and neuroscience studies into the biological/molecular mechanisms causing Long Covid, led by the strong clues from scientific data published so far. We ask that the Government strongly urge the NIHR, UKRI, CSO etc to undertake studies in the above areas. We also ask that any potential drug treatments identified by similar robust international scientific studies are fast-tracked through the UK clinical trials RCT process. We ask that patients suffering other post-viral conditions such as ME/CFS are included in these same studies (concurrently as a discrete cohort) as recent research indicates the underlying ongoing pathology shares similarities with Long Covid.
