Why this petition matters

Started by Sonya Huber

The FDA is currently working to speed up the approval and research of booster shots for immunocompromised patients.We applaud that, as we support the rapid export of vaccines to countries around the world without access. As patients who have struggled with "long COVID" and their friends and loved ones, we worry about what a second round of long COVID will do to us, and how many of us will survive. Many of us have rare or undiagnosed autoimmune issues or other medical issues, and some do not, but we share one trait: our immune systems were unable to fight COVID-19 and instead were taken over, meaning that with regard to this virus, our immune systems were compromised: we could not fight even a weaker version. What will happen to us after exposure to a variant? We urge you to not leave us out. Include us in your research, your list of conditions, or at least start the conversation within the scientific community. I had long COVID and was sick for eight months, left with heart and lung issues. I and many others like me are terrified.
