Mayo gonna mayo... "Change your words". And in the US, this means people will be paying for this privilege.

(Actually the paper was next in my list of news bookmarks so here it is) Dysregulation of brain and choroid plexus cell types in severe COVID-19, Yang et al, 2021 (Added paragraph break) Though SARS-CoV-2 primarily targets the respiratory system, patients and survivors can suffer neurological...

(Can't find a link to the study in the article) Stanford researchers find signs of inflammation in brains of people who died of COVID-19 A detailed molecular analysis of tissue from the brains of individuals who died of COVID-19 reveals extensive signs of inflammation and neurodegeneration...

(Paragraphs added for legibility) The novel virus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused a pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Across the globe, a subset of patients who sustain an acute SARS-CoV-2 infection are developing a wide range of persistent...

You can say that again. Although not a trade union, here is medicine begrudgingly admitting that maybe millions of reports over several decades may have somehow possibly been true even though they insisted the whole time that there is nothing to it, got angry at those reports even. Not that I...

Political censuses have often been weaponized in history, counting the number of people as they are, now just certain people, is a reliable way to oppress people. If we're not counted when we exist, we sure as hell won't be counted when we die. This is a continuation of the same, just as this...

Given that he answered a question from pwME in March of 2020 about this, saying he hoped it wouldn't happen but that they should be prepared for it... Small lies like this go a long way to reducing someone's credibility. Easy lies, easy to dispute.

Insulting chronically ill people's intelligence: risky but effective. Insulting the intelligence of medical authorities: not sure how risky but very ineffective. Sometimes throwing pocket sand works. It takes very specific circumstances, though.

Apparently some wikipedian has made a creative interpretation of the APT in PACE: (General hint: something can't have been "popularized" if it only exists within the confines of a single experiment and is therefore neither popular nor even in use anywhere by anyone)

There is a specific context to Sweden that may explain it, the BPS forces have been very loud pushing for cultural illness and everything psychosomatic, so any association is seriously problematic for very real reasons. Given this context, it's understandable, it spells doom for them and I think...

Long Covid May Help Us Understand Other Chronic Diseases Scientists are starting to wonder just how many mysterious ailments may stem from viral or bacterial infections...

Kings College London still doing their usual bit of pushing for psychosomatic ideology. Edit: Edit 2: looks like KCL is awkwardly finding out that all those tropes about a "militant minority" may have in fact been false, but instead are choosing to just block anyone even asking questions...

I think that's more of an issue of no one outside the patient community caring very much. Lots of pwME go on a phase where they talk about it a lot, say on social media, but nobody cares, no one comments and they often get nasty comments to shut up about it. Activism usually works but when the...

Something I missed but the person who posted the tweet above is CEO of the Council of Medical Specialty Societies, "representing 45 societies and 800k+ members" according to her bio.

Ah, yes, it only rains when I notice that it rains therefore my noticing of raining is what brings rain. Give me unlimited funding please and thank you. Do these people actually think it's possible to experience tremors without noticing them? Is this what they really believe?

Even discounting how weak this claim is, Leonard Jason has literally been running a NIH-funded study on this for many years and there are more than a dozen post-XXX syndromes. As in literally named "post-XXX syndrome". Officially, with some being accepted and others arbitrarily rejected but...
