Ever heard of "don’t count your chickens before they hatch"..?

I'm seeing a lot of comments on social media saying things like "the pandemic is over in Sweden". That is false. It is definitely not over. The numbers are increasing again/still in some parts of the country, even before the school year has begun, even before people have returned to work after...

I can't help wondering if maybe "designed solely for ME" is actually part of the problem? Why not offer people with ME the same regular kind of supportive CBT that is offered to people with for example MS, stroke, SLE/lupus and other severely disabling chronic illnesses? I'm curious, a question...

Many Swedish BPS proponents too, for example the Jonsjö/Olsson team with their ME = "sickness behaviour" hypothesis. Inflammation seems to be a major part of behavioural studies nowadays, for example in so called "psychoneuroimmunology", "psychoneuroendocrinology" etc. Especially in the...

There was a great Instagram live session with Matthew McConaughey and Dr Fauci tonight. About the pandemic, the science and the control measures, myths and what we can do and why it's important etc. It was recorded and is available to watch on IGTV now :) https://www.instagram.com/tv/CD2PYnvpNoc/

Finland is now recommending face masks in some districts where the numbers are currently rising (including Tornio-Kemi on the Swedish border), according to news articles today. Masks are recommended in the following situations, for people over the age of 15: On public transport In public...

Swedish journalist Emanuel Karlsten writes about the Swedish herd immunity approach, based on emails he has gotten access to through FOI requests. (Edited to add: What I find the most "interesting" about this, the main reason I wanted to share it, are the differences between what Tegnell and...

I posted a link to a scientific article/narrative review of filtration properties of cloth and cloth masks in another thread. It has some recommendations regarding different types of fabric:

A young Swedish woman with ME and EDS writes about her new functional/psychogenic diagnosis. She's a patient at Bragée ME Center, according to her earlier IG posts. :( This is her recommendation for further reading (in the IG post caption) :( http://funktionellasymptom.se/ ETA: Just in case...

Thread:

I haven't read Malmquist's books other than the chapter on ME/CFS in "Diagnoser som diskuteras: uppmärksammade medicinska kontroverser" (2016). Vile :( Here's how the book was described by the publisher:

The content of one of Malmquist's earlier books (2000) "Föreställningar om sjukdom – Somatisering, Medikalisering, Prioritering" is described by the publisher as follows:

I don't know if he is what you would could call "a known doctor" or not. I think @Obermann would be a better person to answer your question. Malmquist is definitely not famous like for example Björn Bragée who used to have his own tv-show. In certain circles I'm sure he's a well known name...

Swedish infamous BPS extremist Jörgen Malmquist has announced on his blog that his new book "Trött hela livet. Sjukdomen ME" ("Tired [your] whole life. The illness ME.") will be released at the end of August. :grumpy: It seems like he has already started fishing for attention and drama through...
