If they get fired from being scientists the car dealerships will have their phones ringing off the hook with job offers.

I think the authors are either imagining the criticism of their views, or fixating on it too much. If they were actually being criticized their would be objective proof. They need to rethink their thoughts and behaviors related to being criticized.

I found a study on double-blinded exposure. I don't know if this was the study I heard about, as this experiment may have been done multiple times. Does Short-Term Exposure to Mobile Phone Base Station Signals Increase Symptoms in Individuals Who Report Sensitivity to Electromagnetic Fields? A...

Also, in our society, boys are discouraged from voicing any pain or distress, perhaps making them less willing to admit they have symptoms in general. There's a joke among doctors that if a man comes to the ER, and when asked why, says, "Because my wife told me to," it's probably very serious.

How much of this can be attributed to the fact that for the same symptoms, boys will get extensive medical evaluation but girls will be told to see psychiatry/be prescribed antidepressants/told to lose weight/told it's their periods?

As an on-and-off DXer (someone whose hobby is receiving distant radio stations), I've always found EHS and RF safety interesting. It's overwhelmingly likely EHS is people attributing symptoms to the wrong cause. One time, someone did a study where they put people with EHS next to a source of...

It's odd they didn't select controls with insomnia.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if autism is a risk factor for long Covid. There's extensive research on immune differences in autism, for example, "Immunity-linked genes expressed differently in brains of autistic people," and parents with autoimmune disease are a bit more likely to have an...

Rather odd, I've never heard people saying that. Perhaps it's less talked about because it's not debilitating.

No, ME is both a distinct disease and common. The CDC considers a disease that affects more than 200,000 Americans to be common, and ME is estimated to affect at least 835,000.

They're now on Clinicialtrials.gov: To Investigate Efficacy, Pharmacodynamics, and Safety of BC 007 in Participants With Long COVID (BLOC) They say they started on June 16. They're recruiting in 4 locations: 2 in Berlin (including Charité), 1 in Cologne, and 1 in Munster, and one in Cologne.

I read the whole article, as I found it very engaging. It generally portrayed the moral dilemmas frankly, admitting that there are no easy answers.

A few papers have come out with numbers around 40-50%. For example, see our thread on: [Preprint] Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is common in post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), 2022, Bonilla+

The ME/CFS subtype of LC shouldn't be considered rare. We know, among those ill enough to visit a long Covid clinic, around 40% would meet the diagnostic criteria for ME/CFS.

Oh my gosh, and it isn't even a preprint.

We used to do something similar in America. People who received SSDI benefits would be referred to state OVR programs, which could try to find a suitable job for people. They probably gave up because very few people are deemed unable to work any normal job, then able to find a job with...

Hopefully by the time our grandchildren are old. I joke, but it's sad that all these questions lead to so little, often "We don't know" or "We don't have that information."

Haha it always cheers me up to see a study on the composition of farts.

This is good, this is exactly what pwLC are experiencing all around the world.

I'll tell you right now, if this is an episode of Let's Make a Deal, the NIH is standing in front of the door with the new car behind it and Prusty is probably next to the goat.
