This study is hitting the news big time today in Norway. I fear many will use it as an excuse to ridicule Long Covid. I thought antibodies could vain quickly, so if you can't detect them 12 months after an infection it doesn't necessarily mean there never was an infection? Here's an article...

Thanks for sharing, @ahimsa Just watched it and Dr. Koroshetz mentions ME very briefly towards the end: I would say that the key thing in doing small trials is that, as I mentioned before, sometimes you see a signal that looks like it's going above the noise, but when you increase the numbers...

I think "mission" is a good translation, perhaps "social mission" or "societal responsibility" could work too. Thank you for bringing these news to the forum @Midnattsol I'm angry too, but not very surprised and kind of glad that this has been brought out in the open. My guess it there's lots...

This made my day, @DokaGirl , thank you! So glad that you find it useful. And a huge thanks to @Trish who came up with the idea, did it all by herself in the beginning and still does a major part. :emoji_bouquet:
