My main problem with long covid and ME/CFS advocacy these days is that much of it revolves around clamouring for more allocation of resources and...
Exactly. Was the dystonia REALLY the presenting complaint in these patients? Or was it one of myriad symptoms they have but since it looks...
It looks like establishment “scientists” are already laying the groundwork for controlling the media narrative when the tsunami of new disability...
