OK this gets into clown territory. Interpol doesn't deal with minor trifle like this, good grief this is as realistic as saying there's an army unit on call just in case. Interpol deals with serious crime, organized crime, most-wanted people, terrorism, coordinating across national police...

So mysterious... Much head-scratching...

They can't even name a single actual achievement? Just "he ran 3 trials" is good enough to be awarded? You give them an award. In turn they will vote to give you an award. Perpetual motion within humanity's grasp! I assume one of those trials is PACE. A debunked fraudulent trial that caused...

Of course. The overlap between this ideology and grievances/revanchist politics is a simple circle. It was just a matter of time before they used cancel culture. Frankly I'm surprise it took this long. Sharpe basically said this without using the term, but the roots are the exact same. And this...

Oh it was worth writing, although even the 2 year mark was already way too long. Just no longer because of the total communication blackout and lack of any progress whatsoever. If the IAG is in the dark about what they're doing... boy, I don't know. I don't think anything's happening anymore...

I'm not sure it's worth writing to Bastian. I don't know what happened but this is no different than nothing happening. Either she abandoned quietly or frankly it doesn't even matter, the process is so awful that it's no better than nothing. All in secret behind closed doors with zero concern...

That's not rehab, though. That's convalescence. Enough with this crap. Those resources are completely wasted just being there while some improve and others don't. This is all even more worthless than freaking homeopathy. It's literally built for the medical professionals to feel good. Somehow...

Judging from the intro, I doubt they include anything BPS. Sometimes I wonder if it's because it's not considered real research, or medically relevant. Or if it's just because we're considered worthless so fraudulent research is OK for us. But this is a vast underestimate if it does not include...

Ah, yes, the magical rehabilitation that just makes all illness go away if you just put some effort into it. It's been 3 years and they're still with their feet planted on the starting line. Really, it's no wonder progress in medicine is so slow. The process is complete garbage and is fully...

Yesterday I noticed two articles posted on forums not particularly frequented by long haulers, general public forums, discussing growing evidence of Long Covid and generally sequelae of Covid and the tone is really shifting, so many people have seen their health seriously degraded, or a loved...

Lots of big claims in this thread. From unpublished research. Long thread so will try to capture the most salient. Several mentions that they'd need an equivalent of UK's NIHR to streamline the effort, but that's not much hope given what little they have done, and nothing useful has...

They almost seem addicted to wasting money on useless stuff that never delivers anything. It's baffling. As if this money needs to be burned for nothing. But then again, belief systems are always weird from the outside.

I don't think this is especially new. There have always been snake oil peddlers, shamans and faith healers of all kinds. They always worked this way. It's all about manipulation and even the BPSers haven't taken it to the level of science, it's still a clumsy art that only works because they...

Looking at the AQ-10, there will be many positive responses from any generic chronic illness where exhaustion and cognitive impairment are involved. Several of the questions are ambiguous enough to be misinterpreted. Autism science is terrible. I see much of the same criticism from this...

Literally. If there's one common factor to all psychosomatic ideology, it's not giving a fig about cause, having decided on a different magical cause that needs no evidence as it's just a bunch of stories and ugly prejudice. If there is one small change that could reform medicine for good, it's...

Literally all they have at this point is "the mind works in mysterious ways". It's not borderline religious, it is entirely a faith-based system. There are many less mystical religions out there. It wouldn't be half as ridiculous, and harmful, if they didn't turn around pretending they know all...

No reason to think this is unique to this particular protein? Should be true of other proteins and molecules recognized as foe by the immune system. If you inject directly into the brain anyway. So the issue would be more about the mechanism by which viral proteins can reach that far...

RACGP to advocate for more support at long COVID inquiry https://www1.racgp.org.au/newsgp/clinical/racgp-to-advocate-for-more-support-at-long-covid-i ‘There’s been an ignored urgency to have a strategic response to post-virus syndromes in general,’ he said. ‘People who have chronic fatigue...

That's one way of presenting having no relevant data to support a long-asserted conclusion. A terribly misleading one, but still it's one way. Of course those factors are heterogenous, they're not important. You would likely find the same about musical or food preferences. Never has a solution...

I'd take this a bit further. I assume you mean that we can't be certain right now, but I think that this uncertainty is just as inevitable as the uncertainty principle in quantum physics. The human body is simply too vast and complex to know as a black box that cannot be disturbed, unlike a...
