I think we need to focus not only on curative treatments, but... medications that will cause some relief of symptoms.

I think in the past month, I have finally--talked to a couple physicians that get it.

I share your frustration. I am frustrated that our CDC seems to be more focused on I guess vaccines than they are treatment for long COVID.

I think you give somebody $1 billion, we could have some studies done on diagnosis and treatment.

a reminder of two dates: a date in June when the Appropriations Committee did their job--they got all their appropriations bills done--and another date in November when we last worked on this on this floor through a minibus. We asked for…

We have called for a viral gain of function moratorium until we can wrap our arms around this horrible situation.

If we would have known this is person to person transmission, that this came from a laboratory, that it was a superbug, maybe we could have prevented some of these 16 million people.

I really--for Senator Sanders' team, I think we should have NIH come in--and I am not pointing--I am pointing a finger, but it is their processes.

I think we need to accelerate trials, so we actually find out what works and what doesn't.

I have a motion at the desk. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report. The senior assistant executive clerk read as follows: The Senator from Kansas [Mr. Marshall] moves to commit the bill, H.R. 2872, to the Committee on Appropriations…

I couldn't be more frustrated that it is vaccines, vaccines, vaccines, rather than focused on diagnosis and treatment.

We need to just find out, find treatments as soon as possible.

I couldn't be more disappointed in what is coming out of the CDC right now.

desperate times call for desperate measures and doctors can't be persecuted for--you know, I use off label medicines every day

As Senator Baldwin pointed out, we gave them over $1 billion December 2020. They have been focused on, as I call it, forming committees and praying about it.

We need medications that will cause some relief of symptoms as we are trying to learn more about this disease.

I would suggest that this Committee maybe giving this type of money more to BARDA which seems to be more streamlined, more focused on working with the private sector.

It would be great if in the primary care setting if there was a long COVID panel.
