That 47% on observational trials, around $500 million, was by far RECOVER's big mistake. The NIH essentially decided to give half of RECOVER's...
Really fair - I deteriorated because of a doctor like that. A year in, I listened to a podcast with a doctor who claimed that hyperbaric oxygen...
I've ended up going to a couple of private Long Covid doctors this past year after doing everything via the NHS for the first two years of the...
I was hoping you’d chime in - I have 0 scientific background so have never known what to make of microclots. Always good to see what an expert...
So Garner and Carson are essentially using the microclots literature as a way to rubbish the biomedical literature around Long Covid writ large....
Abstract: People with the post-COVID-19 condition suffer symptoms that persist beyond 12 weeks following acute COVID-19 infection. Fatigue,...
Two possibilities: a) One of the Republicans who attended the HELP hearing provided input here. I can’t remember which Republicans were at the...
It's confusing - because clearly they see RECOVER as another stick to beat the NIH with, but their actual criticisms of RECOVER are very accurate...
I largely agree with their critique of RECOVER. Of its billion dollars, RECOVER spent 47% of it, roughly $500 million, on an extraordinarily large...
In a small crash so I'm afraid I can't help out a lot more today - but I think I'd focus on providing as many authoritative sources as possible,...
This is one idea about how to structure it: Hi Divya! Thanks for reaching out to me. There's a lot to say about this - ME/CFS patients have been...
c) is certainly unethical. In terms of a) - the problem is that it's not a study of recovery stories, it's a study of a highly unrepresentative...
I have sent these photos to Dr Cefai. Going ahead with research that is not only so obviously flawed and biased but is also riddled with conflicts...
As far as I can tell, she’s leading it. She’s a lecturer at Goldsmith’s.
I"d also be fascinated to know more about "the amazing advisory group of medical doctors and researchers who worked their butts off to bring this...
I sent a very polite email earlier this week to Dr Cefai laying out my concerns with the study - that she was studying a self-selecting and tiny...
I find statistics like this slightly maddening - far more important than knowing how many people have experienced any symptoms 3 months after a...
Hadn't thought of that - and completely true, a study like this must be a huge boon to Raelan Agle and her ilk
One slightly positive take-home message from this ridiculous research project - it's the second study I've seen on recovered patients, the other...
The information sheet for the study also makes a big deal out of honouring patients' knowledge - which is a bit hilarious when they've entirely...
