That story sounds like complete BS. They continued publishing papers after that and always relish any publicity that puts them in the limelight, still do. They keep demanding to do more research and obviously publicize it every time. This is beyond naïve, no one in such a high level position is...

Bizarre things happening with recruitment for this study, participants don't even appear to be told they are taking part: Then again Crawley apparently doesn't need informed consent, or even consent, for her papers. This has been validated by research authorities. Somehow. I had to laugh at...

This is the actual title? Because if so this is grounds for lawsuits, she is literally calling us Nazis. And not just regular Nazis who were just following orders, it comes from a poem published in 1946, after the war, after all the horrors of the Nazi regime were exposed to the world, after the...

I had to laugh at that. Typical. I'm not going to bother frankly, I'm done with hoping it won't be massively disappointing, it always is. I don't have the energy to tell them every wrong thing they'll do, will leave this to LC whipper-snappers.

Some patterns require large data sets and rigorous efforts to find, e.g. mononucleosis causing MS.

It's very rare for patients to hear this first from a physician. Not even 10%. They are dirty words in most clinics and hospitals, never used at all. The vast majority of patients find out, through lists and patterns of symptoms, on social media and bring it to physicians, who then usually say...

There is plenty of evidence for this in patient reports. No scientific evidence, though, because medicine is unable to do this competently. But anyone, like me, who has spent significant time reading Long Covid testimonies can see this pattern easily. I have read thousands by now, dozens every...

So the UKHSA asked a prominent pandemic, and LC, minimizer to talk about Long Covid in children, who is also the clinical lead for Covid in children. Cool. Cool cool cool. There's also a huge infectious disease conference happening soon that invited 2 prominent LC deniers and general pandemic...

I have a few ideas...

The damning testimony NHS staff have submitted to the Covid inquiry | ITV News

Trying to make sense of this nonsense, there are so many bizarre claims and blatant assertions of ignorance, but what this appears to me is to build up BS evidence that it's possible to check for simulated symptoms to use in a court setting and reject claims. Which is in a way bizarre since the...

Shades of "healthy people don't want to wear masks so disabled people will have to be ostracized because the healthy people want to paaaartay".

"Novel". "Theory". The "theory", somehow "novel", is the exact same as usual: Their "theory", the same as usual, has the "potential" to do something. How compelling. Einstein had nothing on those geniuses. The joke is that this is an actual field of medicine that has immense power over a...

One thing that bothers me, and this study is no exception, is that the vaccines' efficacy clearly attenuate over the course of a few months. But with the regular vaccine schedule, until recently, all studies were on recently vaccinated people, simply because that's how the timeline happened. So...

I'm pretty sure the 75% is an undercount. I still see a huge trend in LC forums where most have no formal diagnosis, their PCP simply refuse to use it. They'll have generic mental labels like depression or anxiety. So at best it's a study of physicians' use of that diagnostic code, whether it's...

What would those be? There is nothing known about the biology of symptoms, all there is is association: this symptom is associated with this diagnosis or disease process. That's not an explanation. It's completely arbitrary, especially since it depends on perception of the disease, so that...

A holiday from what? From being disabled? From a dystopian nightmare that destroyed my life and all quality to it?

This tells us everything we need to know about how useless "fatigue scores" are. It's like using a broken thermometer and expecting to do chemistry research with it anyway. Makes zero sense for a group of professionals to pretend that fuzzy maths applied on guesstimates about a concept made...
