I think terms are being thrown around ambiguously in the media. Different flu strains have different hemagglutinins and neuraminidases and these...
This is from July, but the same caveat applies. (lack of sufficient evidence for the claims)...
There has only been one study that actually asked GBS and CIDP patients whether they had a relapse of symptoms after vaccination:...
Yes, when "multidisciplinary approach" actually means non-specific approaches with unproven efficacy.
Autoimmune conditions in general are not exclusionary. The only exclusionary condition seems to be Guillain Barre Syndrome and even then there is...
The link is Roy Richard Grinker Sr, who wrote about psychosomatics in the 40s-60s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_R._Grinker_Sr. (note, link...
Not so much 'BPS' trying to psychologize LongCovid, as much as, well, nonsense-psychology:...
Ok, I'll bite. The first hit I get is Nick Glozier who incidentally, wrote this: "Chronic fatigue syndrome: it’s tiring not knowing much—an...
They're confusing response biases with placebo/nocebo effects once again... Sigh.
Yes, there were measurement problems as you suggest. But it's more complicated than that, the doses are not uniform. Some of the "half" doses in...
That isn't strictly true. It was well known that EBV could infect B-cells for example, and that this was a possible cause of B-cell lymphoma. A...
Dr Fauci answering the question about pre-existing conditions. He recommends people with prior history of Guillain-Barre syndrome not get the...
There have been a few groups who have used a broad-based look for infections, not just specific human viruses, but using pan-viral microarrays...
There are still plenty of horses left in the race. But I know not every country has the luxury of waiting. (the Australian government states that...
Just a note, the 'Oxford' vaccine has a similar rate of acute side effects (fevers etc) to the mRNA vaccines. I wouldn't bet on the 'Oxford'...
The high level of acute side effects compared to traditional vaccines has been discussed by @Hilda Bastian on her blog for months now....
Van Campen/Visser and Keller 2014 were not case-control studies. Not including Lien 2019 and Davenport 2020 is disappointing. The latter suggests...
I don't know what to make of this, the fact that they were only found in 39% of patients suggests this isn't the cause we're looking for. But it...
It's strange that they never bother to test for face validity - ask whether patients think the questions are understandable, easy to answer,...
Some of the views in that book seem very strange to me. Several authors discuss illness behaviour as if reporting of a symptom is the same as...
Separate names with a comma.
