It does a hell of a lot of harm to the children participating in her research.

The MEA shared an article earlier today saying that long covid was most common in people in their twenties or thirties or forties. But this says more common in old people?

I thought somebody else (Italy?) found that 87% still had symptoms several months after infection. I'm so confused by all these wildly different statistics.

So for example, a character in a TV show has a psychosomatic limp. Is that a real thing?

Does psychosomatic illness exist? We all know that ME/CFS is NOT psychosomatic. And we know that a lot of studies into psychosomatic stuff (like MUS stuff) are bullshit. But I would like to know, is there any good quality research indicating that psychosomatic illness exists? Any type of...

I really have difficulty believing that "over half" of covid patients are left with ongoing fatigue. Is this really a valid study? Wouldn't we have already known if it was that common? My impression is that it is a minority of people. If it was half of all people who've had covid, it would have...
