How do we know that the European Union's Health Commission (like many governments) is using delaying tactics to do anything about care for pediatric Long COVID in children and adolescents, despite what they say?

“Pediatric treatment against Long Covid needed for children and adolescents”:

When they spout hot air like this -
"'The Commission recognizes the significant medical and socio-economic consequences of Long COVID and remains committed to supporting effective responses in these areas'.
...The health commissioner hints that the underlying problem is that little is still known or, at any rate, the full and clear picture of the situation is not yet available,
...so much so that the European Commission 'promotes relevant research on Long COVID,' a sign that useful information is still being sought to promote 'appropriate public health policies'".
When public health bodies and governments tell you they are "committed" to helping, BUT are still gathering information (in the 6th year of a pandemic of a virus that causes #LongCOVID), point them to the 17,000+ published studies on Long COVID -

We know a lot more about Long COVID than global public health bodies & governments care to admit, & certainly more than enough to help everyone manage some of their #LongCOVID symptoms.
We don't have to wait for an outright cure to do something.
