Body Politic x Dr. Nancy Klimas "Long COVID & post-viral ME/CFS: Modeling Complex Illnesses"

Body Politic x Dr. Nancy Klimas Dr. Nancy Klimas, chair of the Department of Clinical Immunology, and professor in the Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine, established the Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine (INIM), at Nova Southeastern University in 2012. In partnership with the Miami Veteran’s Administration Medical Center (VAMC) Gulf War Illness (GWI) research program, the INIM is a multi- disciplinary research and clinical institute that takes a systems biology approach to understanding complex medical illnesses, such as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and Gulf War Illness (GWI). Her institution is the only one to have received grant funding from the CDC to study Long COVID. About Body Politic: Body Politic is a queer feminist group based in New York City, NY exploring the intersections of health and social justice. After 60% of Body Politic’s core team became sick with COVID-19, they created a global support group for people struggling with the virus. Since their launch, they’ve had over 16,000 people sign up to join the group, which is housed on the Slack platform to accommodate 24/7 chat and allow for small discussion channels based on community or topic. The Body Politic COVID-19 Support Group consists of people from all over the world who are experiencing symptoms or are recovering from COVID-19. Their patient-led research team released a report from their first survey which got the attention of the NIH director, Dr. Francis Collins, and is working on a second phase of research now. Body Politic's COVID-19 support group and COVID community resources were created to help people living with COVID-19 connect with one another, and make the conversation about our current health crisis more inclusive of those battling the virus.
