I almost did something like that :D But these people have no sense of humor so I was as boring as possible. Still got censored...

These people don't have a freaking clue. They just write the same nonsense over and over again. And, no, they don't believe that the "symptoms are real". They mean something else entirely, some BS about fear or whatever. The same crap peddled for over a century. It's fanatics like this that...

About as fascinating as the fact that using muscles will physically change them. Which it is, it's just very basic and doesn't mean much. All this mysticism is just a distraction. Maybe it would have been so much more interesting if celestial beings were behind nature and its physical laws, and...

Hey, you! Be polite while being oppressed! And don't speak ill of your oppression.

They seem to have removed the notice about politeness and defamation.

But COVID vaccines don't prevent infections. They reduce the severity of illness and reduce transmission but they don't prevent them. And vaccine uptake is abysmal and will keep getting lower because of constant minimization, basing the entire messaging around the pandemic around fear instead of...

I'm still baffled that pharmaceutical companies don't see it: chronic illness is a gold mine. It's the rarest combination of issues where you can provide a complete cure for something, and keep selling it anyway. Because it keeps getting created all the time. You could cure everyone with a...

Mid-way 2025 for completion.

NIH wrote a news article about it. Cold virus may set the stage for Long COVID https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/cold-virus-may-set-stage-long-covid Many infections with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, resolve within days or weeks. But a significant number of...

I don't understand the interpretation. They seem to suggest that since the sham exercise wasn't aerobic exercise, which is what they were trying to prove should work here, then the comparison isn't adequate because the sham group still did things, and thus could have provided a similar benefit...

About all but 2-3 ask about common symptoms of illness, could even work as a ME/CFS questionnaire. This is circular nonsense.

Although I don't agree their lives were destroyed by Long Covid. They were destroyed by their own profession's denial and failure with Long Covid. Denial has consequences. Consequences that have been denounced for decades. This is just a continuation of the same denial and discrimination. There...

This appears to be the cover story for some BMJ magazine.

Kind of News from Canada but mostly generic. According to a study by a public health body in Quebec, almost 10% of healthcare workers have Long Covid to some degree, with a third of that (so about 3%) having severe symptoms, half (so 5%) for over a year. Cannot translate from URL, browser...

Main barrier to healthcare: healthcare systems that discriminate against this illness. No one ever has the courage to just say it plainly. Can't speak truth to power. Can't denounce injustice. This is not some natural phenomenon, it is a product of choices made and denounced by those suffering...

Medical records being useless for this aside, it's a known co-mobordibity, in the case of ME/CFS it's listed in the criteria. Of course it's associated, damnit. This kind of research is completely useless, even more so that they look not at what is happening to the patients, but what gets...

Missed this from yesterday and the day before. Mixed virtual and in-person symposium on Long Covid in Montreal, sponsored by a Quebec research institute. 1st Canadian Symposium on Long COVID Research excellence as a vehicle for solutions...

:rolleyes: If only we could ask the people in charge of medical research why they didn't do that... Full interview:

Ugh. At least learn the meaning of words before you use them. No wonder MDs don't understand what we mean when we say we're gaslighted when they don't even know what it means. Frankly, until it actually happens to you it's almost impossible to understand. Zero recognition that this is an old...

Conspiracies are boring. They're almost always alignments of interest, they require very little effort as long as everyone involve wants a particular outcome. And all conspiracy means is that people cooperate to achieve that end. Medicine was rabidly opposed to the germ theory of disease at...
