CDC Awards Medscape Education Three Contracts to Develop Medical Education Programming Addressing Major Public Health Needs

[John Mac]

Programs will Focus on Cancer, Mold Infections and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (MECFS) is a severe, long-term illness. People with MECFS are often unable to engage in daily activity due to severe fatigue. COVID-19 brings a new concern to these symptoms, as Dr. Anthony Fauci noted that a consequence of COVID-19 is post-viral syndrome which includes fatigue and difficulty concentrating. Medscape Education will bring these concepts to life through an interactive roundtable discussion designed for physicians, nurses and pharmacists.

Obviously depends who’s involved and what the eventual content is but looks like a positive development.

I remain bitter with Fauci's failure in the 80's but he has otherwise been a rather positive force in the Long Covid context. That makes me curious about the details of what happened. I assume he simply did not give it much thought and gave free rein to other people, but that's what leadership is about: succeed or fail, you're responsible.

No discussion of funding or scope, but this has been needed for a long time (as long as it's accurate, which is never guaranteed with us).
