In hindsight, building academia on the need to publish as many papers as possible, regardless of quality, may not have been the smartest of ideas.

What this shows, bizarrely, is that these healthcare professionals are completely baffled by the concept of illness, and genuinely cannot understand that asking sick people how they're doing will yield the expected response of: not great. As in literally the entire idea that being ill is a bad...

They won't admit they were wrong. At this point it must have to do with liability, as long as they don't admit they were wrong, ME can continue to be suppressed. There is precedent for class-action lawsuits about medical advice that continued after it was known to be wrong. Until it's admitted...

This is ominous. For years UK physicians said the guidelines bound them about ME. Turns out it's basically arbitrary and services just do whatever they feel like doing. It's frankly hard to find areas of healthcare that aren't massively broken. In Canada we don't really have national...

The asymmetry of bullshit in action. Once something wrong has gotten its legs on, it takes disproportionate efforts to slow it down before it can be replaced. It's sad that not only does it also apply in medicine, it seems to be especially strong because of the rigid hierarchical nature of...

LOL. "I'm going to continue blocking". Later on write tweet saying "Don't just block people". Amazing.

Says everything. Little chance this produces anything useful, or that they understand the basics of what's going on. It's not a freaking treatment anymore than avoiding smoke is a treatment for asthma. This whole paradigm of pragmatic trials is a useless mess, too many factors to take into...

GLOMAR. Figures. Would be useful to revisit this, in light of the official line having been (possibly) debunked. What matters anyway is that it was just an official lie.

Wow, OK. Thank you! I'm seeing similar things back and forth lately and it seemed relevant, all about RN's conflicts of interests. It's frankly a bizarre letter, talking about prophecies (it's been 2 years, this isn't the distant future) and pre-empting... something that's been happening for 2...

Long COVID clinics likely to be required across the country https://www1.racgp.org.au/newsgp/clinical/long-covid-clinics-likely-to-be-required-across-th ‘We know from the experience overseas that people were going to get long COVID, and we believe that now we’re playing catch up and it’s...

See, she only blocks pwME because of abuse. Only reason she blocks people, is what she says. Or do we fall under disinformation? Unfortunately, few people can ask her, being blocked and all. It appears though that she is also blocking minimizers and other BGD types.

Probably nothing without massive reforms. Even most of the DSM constructs don't have much validity, are too superficial. The technology just isn't there yet, psychiatry is basically at the stage genetics was before the discovery of DNA, along with the technology to do something with it. It...

Why is a psychiatrist in charge of a multi-symptom chronic illness..?? https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/why_is_a_psychiatrist_in_charge Dear Ministry of Defence, Gulf War Syndrome & Prof Sir Simon Wessely. It has been shown time and again that Professor Sir Simon’s published assertions...

I've heard a lot about this "science follows the evidence" thing. I'd love to see it in action one day, it's very slow going. Because it may be mere correlation, but there's no shortage of evidence to follow, if only bureaucratic paralysis could just stop getting in the way, and possibly stopped...

Not a credible source but from past interactions, they seem to know Vogt personally and interact with, so maybe just a slip.

Oh, wow. Talk about not getting your money's worth. How did they manage to waste this much on absolutely nothing? Basically a few mobile apps, pamphlets and literally clinics without doctors. Healthcare seriously needs auditing. There is massive misuse of funds happening. Spending money on...

Findings don't advocate for something, people do. The findings here absolutely do not support that. So what is this advocacy doing here? This is explicitly advocacy, out of such a small number of biased low-quality trials. Especially in light of plenty of evidence that remissions and recoveries...

This dowsing rod was tested on that other dowsing rod and they both agree therefore dowsing rods work. In rod we trust! Shmart. Seriously, in what way is this different from saying that a short-form questionnaire matching your personality to a Lord of the Rings species yields the same answers...

Radical change should naturally exclude those who built the thing that needs to be radically changed. If it's serious, they will be banned, have nothing to contribute anyway.
