One could ask the LP lovers why they are not frightened of it? Because they should be.

They are setting up their excuse for the failure of the trial to deliver a scientifically valid positive outcome.

Viruses don't care about their host's mental health. Failure to achieve elimination/eradication is going to be far more damaging to everybody's mental health.

Which is why the rest of medicine and science need to pay very close attention to what the likes of Chalder are getting away with, and stop it.

It really is one of the most disturbing failures in the history of modern medicine, and it is not over yet by a long shot. Sometimes there is no middle ground.

And vice-versa. If your life has gone well, then you might tend to downplay or even forget past troubles. This is a huge problem with these post-hoc studies.

Using COVID19 as cover for shitty quality work is pathetic. But not surprising.

Short Version: Symptoms getting worse are due to you paying attention to them. I'll pass that onto my friend with end stage bowel cancer, whose symptoms were repeatedly dismissed by doctors until it was too late for effective treatment. Oh wait, she already died. Must have been her fault for...

You guys get it. :thumbup: Thank you. :hug: @PhysiosforME

Any doctor who uses placebo on me without my informed consent will be sacked the instant I find out about it, and a formal complaint made to the relevant medical licencing body (for what that is worth). It is a lazy, arrogant, corrupt, and cruel abuse of medical authority.

Welcome to the wonderful world of the Wessley School's modus operandi, where methods and results are whatever they want them to be. Fun, isn't it. :banghead: Thanks for your interest on this stuff, @Joan Crawford. Hope you don't get too discouraged by it. A large part of their decades long...

I watched it. Pretty good overall, and allowance does need to made for this issue being very much a work in progress. He is somebody to keep onside and even reach out to. COVID19 might be an opening for the BPS school, but it is also an opening for their critics.

Using and reporting objective outcomes is only half the story. They have to be taken fully into account, not ignored, downplayed, misrepresented, and then finally claimed to be irrelevant anyway.

Interesting. :geek:

I didn't mean psychologists specifically, more the broader psychology/psychiatry world. The problem seems to originate from, or be mostly found in, psychology/psychiatry. Anywhere you find this problem, there are usually psychs somewhere in the picture. I doubt you would see it often in...

Indeed. What is so horrifying and contemptible about this disaster is that it is breaches basic quality control. There is nothing novel or subtle or difficult in the problem. It really is all about psychs simply asserting ex cathedra that they do not have to meet the basic minimum and very...

My region of Australia (Northern Territory) has just been officially declared free of SARS-CoV-19. No community transmission for over a month, and no active cases. Vietnam has also achieved elimination. It can be done, and should be done. The longer authorities wait to bow to the inevitable...
