I guess the editors of this journal felt they had to do a "both sides", because they just repackaged Sharpe's bunk about functional somatic this whatever nonsense, basically arguing the exact opposite of what this sensible article says. Can't be respectful to patients without adding disrespect...

Repackaged with the same fluff and nonsense. Medical science isn't even close to half-way done, what an idiotic argument to pretend otherwise. I guess they had to balance the other article in the same magazine arguing the exact opposite, except with junk and pseudoscience. This basically...

Former director of the CDC. Sad that he didn't do a damn thing about it when he was in a position to.

There is a "Remove formatting" button on the right side, labeled "Tx". This usually takes care of most of those. Alternatively some browsers have the option to paste without the formatting, just like in Word.

Greenhalgh has her name to a new article, among many authors, which vaguely mentions "long-term illness". It's getting good coverage. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)01589-0/fulltext

The flu mRNA vaccine is beginning its first trial: https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/07/mrna-vaccine-technology-moves-to-flu-moderna-says-trial-has-begun/. It appears to target 4 strains of the virus, which is neat, and apparently two other viruses as well.

Developing a Collaborative Approach to Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection https://www.psychiatrictimes.com/view/developing-collaborative-approach-post-acute-sequelae-sars-cov-2-infection This is probably worth responding to. It is so insulting in its premise, especially as it calls...

They actually did it again. They invited Wessely and Crawley to talk about the very topic they have spent their entire career trying to destroy. Again. Safe to say that medicine is essentially anti-meritocratic and rewards failure.

At least double the average. Probably far higher.

Seriously, though. Mayo gonna mayo. This is supposed to be a great clinic. Pathetic.

Uhhh... well I guess this answers the question of "how delusional are people pushing this stuff?" and it's all of it. The first? Holy narcissism Batman, can't even check for yourself before making such a ridiculous assertion? And as always, mislabeling something then looking back at the things...

Meanwhile in reality, there is a group being bullied, and it's definitely not this sorry excuse of a professor. All this nastiness has real-life consequences. What's sad is that everyone involved in the publication of this trash, or any of the other hit pieces, will ever look back with hindsight...

:wtf:

It's even a regular thing for him. He re-tweets quotes that literally apply to him being in the wrong, sometimes almost excessively so, in that they represent things he does all the time, that define his whole career. Still unsure whether he's Magoo level of clueless or if it's self-promotion...

I'm not at all sold on the BC007 thing, just from the assumption of how hard it is to find a treatment that works without understanding the pathology and how historically it never pans out for us, but apparently they did research some years ago with pwME and found the same (GPCR-AABS?)...

He literally re-tweeted a (n alleged, dunno if genuine) Feynman quote a few days ago that said something like the difference with scientists is that they accept when they're wrong. There are rocks out there with more self-awareness. Or maybe he is here and is simply completely shameless and...

1st step: whatever was done, do the opposite. When you manage 100% failure, it's very easy to do better, just flip everything around. But for that the failure must be acknowledged, so if it does happen, it will have to be imposed from the outside. Because right now medicine is doing all the same...

Interesting article but ironic given the author's role with COPE, which whitewashed PACE, and Cochrane, given the organization's failure to deal with exactly this. Problem is that the people who make those statements only ever apply them to things they don't like, I would bet a good sum that the...

It will be so informative when we will be able to do studies of the participants in those trials to get the real story of what happened. Presently impossible to do, but a necessity to learn from this disaster.

The timeline of events strongly suggests that once she understood that most of LC is basically whatever she believes MUS/CFS is, she completely lost interest as a medical matter, especially not relevant to her focus on general practice. I may be wrong, can't verify as she blocked me, but I have...
