Trial By Error: Column in Time Magazine Calls for Halt to Biomedical Long Covid Research

By David Tuller, DrPH. Time magazine recently published an opinion piece that calls for an end to biomedical research for long Covid—based, it seems, on what the authors view as the ME/CFS precedent. The title: “How to End the Futile Blame Game Over Failed Long COVID Research.” Although research still has “a vital role” to play, they argue, it needs to be “a different kind” that “no longer focuses on biomarkers and mechanisms” because such studies “are sure to provide ‘promising’ but false leads and divert resources.” (The piece was adapted from a recent article that was published by STAT.)
