Many long Covid researchers believe that if we can go all in to solve long Covid and its CFS manifestation, that we can likely solve other ones, especially if we find that it is caused by viral persistence. Dr. John Chia was ignored about his CFS research for decades.

I hope that if we find a reversible cure through antivirals, gut modulation, monoclonal antibodies, etc, that Mr. Chia gets the recognition he deserves given his influence on these hypotheses.
