I'll never understand how anyone found this junk convincing, it's far weaker than even the Stanford prison experiment and Milgram's experiment. It's a single case that is completely unconvincing and the facts don't even line up. It takes a completely cartoonish view of human nature to find it...

Asked And answered. Profit-seeking or not, it's to create something for the sake of being able to say that there's already something and it's good enough what more could you possibly ask?

$10M/y is still peanuts given the size of the economic impact. Not even counting the human impact but that's clearly not relevant to anyone making those decisions. At least some of that Long Covid funding should go for dysautonomia, if it doesn't then frankly the whole thing will probably be so...

Chances that they are aware that this is the ME they have vilified and disrespected for so long? That this is the worst-case scenario for Simon Wessely's horrible career, his lies revealed? About 0%. Especially as Wessely chaired the last webinar on this topic by the RSM just a few weeks ago.

That actually made me laugh when I saw it because absolutely speed runners are 100x more rigorous in their methodology than almost anything done in medical research, at least wherever technology can't be used (i.e. everything psychosocial). They genuinely care about accuracy and validity in ways...

Very common in Long Covid so very likely yet another "functional" crap that is actually an immune problem. Many are referred to speech therapists, obviously with little to show for it. These people are completely detached from reality and are either too malicious or incompetent to see that...

At some point this process where several people work for several months evaluating hundreds of patients to check ONE SINGLE THING is going to have to mature because it's the most extreme form of redundancy I have ever seen. Like 99% of efforts are pointlessly wasted simply because everyone...

Alternative alternative medicine: it doesn't work either but it's much more expensive! What problem does that solve? None. Literally all the "benefits" are simply making up for willful neglect. This is like someone busying themselves doing meaningless chores instead of doing their actual job...

That seems normal. The modern definition of anxiety may as well be a description of dysautonomia. Naturally people suffering from dysautonomia will find that description fitting. And depression's definition may as well be the definition of feeling ill, at least the more broadly used on, not the...

I assume they will never make that mistake again. I'm just kidding of course they will do it again because it's fully deliberate and they don't have to care about anything but themselves.

Just the fact that this is getting such media coverage is incredibly suspicious as to who is abusing their authority here. The only real thing to cover here is how cult-like pseudoscience is being taken seriously by medical authorities. Everything else is irrelevant. Late-stage medicine looks...

Yeah so this is 100% a cult and frankly every single medical professional enabling this needs to be fired for cause, zero tolerance. At best it's gross negligence. And good comparison to Scientology, it sounds basically the same.

That's usually just there as a warning so they can say "we told you so" when they try to pressure but there is unlikely that there is a basis for this. None of this is technical or proprietary in a formal sense. Not to say it's impossible they would try anything legal but there isn't much of a...

Long-Haul COVID Brings Long Road to Recovery https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20210630/long-haul-covid-brings-long-road-to-recovery Despite 90% odds of recovery, somehow a single N=1 case is significant. Yes, it's Garner. With 90% recovery out of millions, it's probably very hard to find...

Didn't most of the recent LC funding go to GP practices? Which obviously is not even close to be capable of handling this. Even in normal times it wouldn't be, but when you add well over a year of backlogs in basic screening, GPs are the last place where this can be handled properly. Hopes and...

Why do people keep repeating this obviously false claim? If only we had anything to manage symptoms things would be so much better. Suffering symptoms and managing symptoms are entirely different things, when they are managed it's when you've alleviated at least some of the suffering. "You're on...

That's some Deepak Chopra level crap a few replies down when someone points out to him he clearly doesn't know a damn thing about ME. The level of Deepak Chopra level crap in medicine is too damn high. As we all know, it's when you have nothing but woo-filled thought-terminating clichés that...

Great article. My only gripe is this obviously false statement: Although that's easy to miss for any one person, thousands of people did anticipate it, including some scientists, even left a record of it. This must be recognized, the pretense that this caught everyone by surprise needs to end...

Considering the unreliability of mental health diagnosis, this tells us nothing. Strong chances this has nothing to do with mental health and everything to do with mass misdiagnosis. Or nothing at all.

Hmmm... unlikely that someone for whom GRADE is so central to her work will be able to acknowledge the massive flaws that lead to very low quality "research" to be judged arbitrarily to fit a pre-sought outcome by teams biased for that purpose, how easy it has been to manipulate it simply based...
