The virtues of Per-reviewed research. I mean it's hard to look at it any other way...

Yeah, but I didn't 'blame' her for it, I was just pointing out that the sort of post I had a feeling I'd see eventually, ended up popping up. Now, I don't think it matters how many bandwagons this guy jumped on. I'm not familiar with him. There have to be others who aren't, either. So think for...

Don't want to defend this. But she's next-to-last author, which I understand is the least important placement. My guess would be her involvement was limited to providing some kind of info on patients. Perhaps contact info? The question would be whether she knew fully what the intention of the PI...

I think this post here provides one unfortunate answer to the question posed as the topic of this thread. However, it's just one post in one of many threads Jen Brea has started with the purpose of asking questions about CCI and the surgery that she claims has led her to remission. I don't know...

Nice batch of references too.

I spoke up early on both Twitter and Facebook (Pinker cross-posted), with links to what I think happen to be the best answers to this bizarre, evil propaganda. I disagree with their advice to not engage on these sorts of things. It's not like there aren't a bucketful of credible sources that...

Well, this came out of nowhere, a few hours ago: This guy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Pinker Quite a few people have stepped in to, ahem, discuss this with him. So far, no response. There was one person who seemed to want to step in to challenge anyone's questioning of Pinker's...

Interesting. I don't follow them on Twitter but am used to seeing their tweets as plenty of people I do follow end up retweeting or responding to tweets so they end up in my feed. Just seemed a bit odd that a meeting with those people would take place with virtually no discussion--nobody even...

I'm not big on people saying 'why wasn't I told,' but I am scratching my head a bit at this because I sure didn't see any mention of it anywhere. Can't imagine it was open to the public. Strikes me as kind of unusual that you put all of these well-known ME experts (plus Unger, Nath, Lipkin, etc)...

I think we've lost this. Completely. ME/CFS is what Jen Brea says it is. It's been heading in this direction for a long time. We're almost completely there.

Well, now this is national news. https://www.thedailybeast.com/stanford-professor-jose-montoya-blames-hispanic-heritage-for-alleged-sexual-misconduct-that-got-him-fired I almost can't believe that he'd put this response out there. "I didn't know any better because..." I mean, I don't want to...

I don't recall seeing pushback from them during Millions Missing. Maybe I missed it. But that would've been a bad look, I think. They tend to pile on when SMC has something to push (or smear). But it's entirely possible they did this & I'm not remembering correctly. But gaslighting in comments...

Ah. so this is why that tweet surfaced again. I had responded to it, and Sharpe never blocked me. Now this comes up, and I got a new like, and all of a sudden I see he blocked me. Oh well.

Huh. When I first saw this earlier I could've sworn the only date was April 15th, 2019. I don't remember this at all. Oh, well.

Multi-Site Clinical Assessment of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (MCAM): Design and Implementation of a Prospective/Retrospective Rolling Cohort Study *** Looks like, unless I missed it & this isn't new, the CDC has published something significant on the multisite study...

New Scientist just put an article out on this: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2199217-promising-treatment-for-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-fails-large-trial/ Paywalled after a couple of paragraphs.

Well so far this is starting out just as bad as it was for at least the first half of yesterday's stream.

Authorize Flash for this? Nah. This thing is wildly inconsistent. Keeps stopping, so far three browsers including Chrome. Several times it stopped when I was closing a tab in a different browser. At the moment runs on my phone using Chrome but it did stop before on that. I wonder how often this...
