That would actually be the first. Of hundreds. There are decades of precedent showing these people are completely incapable of that, that every time they face outcomes they don't like they simply lie and cheat, and that's when they don't bias things so heavily that it's basically a formality. I...

Uh... what? How does anyone actually manage to fail a thesis on the very first damn sentence? What is this gibberish? Much confusion, Batman. While the second sentence managed to remain somewhat factual, right back to fantasy on the third. No controlled trials have ever been run of this, only...

Television and movies give a very misleading view of how to assess somebody else's code. It makes for good TV when someone glances at some code for 5 seconds and marvels at its brilliance but that's not a real thing. Not even close, in fact. It takes serious efforts and basically a complete...

Same. I still hope Bastian will do us good but it does not appear that Cochrane is capable, as an organization, of doing this right. I would frankly much rather they retract everything and frankly not ever publish a damn thing about ME. pretend we don't even exist, I have zero confidence in...

That was nice. It doesn't look good for Markey, though. He is trailing in his nomination race and would likely retire next January.

Feels like screaming into a particularly empty void today. The only coverage I have seen so far is the one (from India?) where they insulted us. Nice. I had very low expectations and I'm still disappointed. Oh well.

Yeah it's a nice self-own. When you point to some weak experiment with the scientific value of a dog turd on the sidewalk as an important contribution to something, you are effectively acknowledging that that "something" is a bunch of BS.

This video has been making the rounds on the COVID19Positive subreddit. It's been posted several times in the last few days. It has some good bits, but some very bad ones too. Very ignorant of the history, it actually cites the Wessely Chalder paper redefining ME as CFS that can be treated...

It's all fun and games burning witches until someone in the crowd, bored by the lack of new witches to burn, turns around, points at you and yells "WITCH. WITCH! WIIIIIITCH!" and you have to prove that you aren't a witch by... checks notes... proving that you can't use magic, or something.

Hmmm. So... millions of people ending up in a coma or locked-in syndrome or something like that would be a rousing success? Just as a hypothetical. That doesn't seem like a reasonable end-point. Medicine seriously has to stop with this obsessive mindset where mortality is the only thing that...

Which he knows to be false. "I believe", weasel words. What immoral hackery is this? The fanaticism is simply stunning. Everyone hates it. We hate it because they are incompetent and recklessly indifferent to the impact they are imposing on us, because people are needlessly dying and suffering...

Knowing what happens to post-viral patients, that medicine has nothing to offer but contempt and indifference, is a strong motivator for not wanting it to be that. No doubt he understands that if he were seeing himself as a patient he would dismiss his case with prejudice and he understands what...

I think the point here is to be able to point at cancer papers that show the "same" to be able to give it more credibility since "it's also true for cancer". I have every expectation that everyone involved in this weak paper knows for sure that no one involved in cancer research or care will pay...

OK yeah that was a bad article. Wrong. There are claims of this, not evidence. Not what happened. At all. Also wrong. The researchers did claim that during their PR tour. Neither the evidence nor the papers claim that. In fact the papers explicitly state it is not curative. Odd framing...

I'm a bit wary of calling those spikes or explosions given there are 20M+ existing cases and even the worst case scenarios given current rates of infection would barely add 1% more to that. It's basically a blip, at least for now. I don't know how to fix that since part of the reason why this...

Seems to have been deleted or unpublished.

Such pretty dance moves the angels make on their hairpins. Completely delusional. These people are out of their damned minds and have no concept of the impact of what their delusions impose on vulnerable people.

It was unpublished but from the quoted part it looks like a poorly researched and one-sided article.

Ah cool. So everyone who developed ME following a confirmed viral infection can now be taken off the blacklist and finally receive competent medical care? And I guess we should do that systematically from now on. Whew, that would save so many lives! Oh, that's not what he meant, uh? He actually...

Honestly from reading their ridiculous interpretations the people involved in this field clearly have little to no capacity for empathy but have deluded themselves that they have lots of it but because empathy isn't something that can be understood unless you have it they just can't realize it...
