RFK "there was Long Covid project @NIH, there was a huge amount of money spent on it, it yielded nothing... We are launching a Long Covid Consortium...bringing together the best Drs in the country...Dr Bruce Patterson & Dr Jordan Vaughn..." Senator Young [my summary] "we'll be dead before any acceptable therapeutics hit the market, what are you doing to accelerate this?" RFK "the best solutions... are off the shelf approved drugs that are there already..." Young "It was recently recorded that all of the major pharma companies are serving as barriers to clinical trials" RFK "it is bizarre that that is happening" Young "ok, well you are Secy of HHS! Will you be cracking down on this? RFK "yes, yes, yes" There were several comparisons to how this is like the HIV/AIDS crisis, questions about ARPA-H, etc.
