The CDC director calling Long Covid a "manifestation", which I'm not entirely sure is an upgrade or a downgrade on the usual BPS nonsense, but is...
Ironically, more or less the same problem with "lie detectors". They are detecting something alright, just not lies. Polygraphs aren't used in...
I've seen a lot written about this recently and although I'm tempted to dismiss it as there being a missing detail somewhere, it wouldn't be...
I have only skimmed, but this seems like rearranging the chairs on the Titanic, it seems to propose small adjustments that change nothing to the...
Full title: Adapt or die: how the pandemic made the shift from EBM to EBM+ more urgent Authors: Trisha Greenhalgh, David Fisman, Danielle J Cane,...
