Vaccines are no match for long Covid. Treating it is science's next great challenge | Danny Altmann
Failure to recognise the need for a response could be a blunder we rue for decades to come, says professor of immunology Danny Altmann
Hasnain says:
“Our thinking about Sars-CoV-2 and long Covid – and our response to it – has had to shift and readjust, virtually on a monthly basis. This is now a highly infectious, upper-respiratory virus able to reinfect repeatedly – an outcome that wasn’t expected early in the pandemic. If we renege on mitigations as each round of infection draws more of all ages into chronic disability, this may be the blunder that we rue for decades to come. Even after the original wave of lockdowns and deaths has become a distantly remembered nightmare.”
