The two Heim et al CDC child trauma studies used the so-called empiric criteria (Reeves et al, 2005). I had this letter published challenging those criteria: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/44655939_Criteria_used_to_define_chronic_fatigue_syndrome_questioned

I like the article, but just sent them the following short note: The usual claim is that 25% have severe ME. However, that doesn't just include the bedbound, but also the housebound and maybe also the virtually housebound.

I'd say there's a good/very good chance that Peter White will use his own study from the Lancet. They attempted to measure their fitness after they became ill and made inferences about the pre-illness fitness levels! I discuss problems with it in these comments...

There is no control group. Here are some research studies that found no difference in variations in activity patterns when a control group was used: "The heterogeneity in the physical activity pattern between subjects within the CFS and control group did not differ."...

COVID-19 and Post Viral Fatigue: Growing Recognition I haven't watched this video myself so far, but saw a few people praising it. I recall watching another of his videos a few weeks ago and for some reason thought he was a medical doctor, but that's not the case:

"COVID-19 May Cause Hallmark ME/CFS Post-Exertional Malaise" https://themighty.com/2020/05/covid-19-me-cfs-post-exertional-malaise/ Note that this article is largely based on the account of one person who got ill with Covid-19 10 weeks ago

Just in terms of educating doctors with it: With two of the earlier videos from this group, we in the Irish ME/CFS Association and the Irish ME Trust applied for education credits for an educational event for GPs (which also included a live speaker and a Q&A session). The credits were obtained...
