Word clouds are always interesting in giving topics their proper weight.

It doesn't help that there is so much doubt and confusion over whether this data will ever be used, given the focus on hospitalized patients and the reticence to even acknowledge this illness. In addition to the issue of confirmed vs non-confirmed cases. Without clarity, people simply don't...

Can't remember if this has been posted before and search isn't helping. Persistent symptoms 3 months after a SARS-CoV2 infection: the post-COVID-19 syndrome https://openres.ersjournals.com/content/erjor/early/2020/09/01/23120541.00542-2020.full.pdf

Yes. Even further: this should be the model moving forward. With actual paid employment. Obviously not every pwME can do that but for those with a long history of advocacy and involvement, this is expertise that deserves to be paid and can be done in a way that is respectful of the limits and...

Not sure if Twitter is a good medium for this, I can't think of a short answer to that. It's basically THE question.

His own words are basically his kryptonite. And boy did he put out many over the years when he really thought he had won this. Speaking of which people not blocked by him should really take advantage of the quotes that have been collected over the years...

I see a general consensus over Post-Covid syndrome developing lately. Even though it may not actually be accurate. The post- aspect has always been on the basis of standard tests not finding the virus anymore. This is all so silly, frankly. Things are being held up just because people don't...

It would probably be a good time for that, the whole brigade has blocked me, but I would probably end up too angry, insult them and be blocked again. I hate liars. These people lied and people died. I hate those kinds of liars the most. Worse, they are bullies who pray on the vulnerable to...

I'll copy a few, but one thing you can do is take one of the tweets in the thread, right click on either the date (or xh ago) and open in incognito/private mode. That's how I work around it. https://twitter.com/WesselyS/status/1306525021460979713...

Moderation note: A number of posts have been moved from New draft NICE guidelines for chronic pain emphasises exercise, CBT and acupuncture over medication ******** Things are horribly broken here. Here is a discussion of Cochrane's evaluation of the evidence...

That's one of the quirks of cannabis, you have to switch strains every few weeks. No idea why but you should be able to go back and forth between a few that work, not necessarily abandon them when they stop working.

I don't think Wessely has ever used the term PEM before. He always dismissed it as deconditioning, normal symptoms of physical activity interpreted with catastrophe. This is Soviet politburo-level of gaslighting.

Yes! I think it's important to make that point because it's frankly a massive embarrassment. Medicine still hasn't caught up to a report published 4 months ago. It's getting there but sloooooooooooowly. Patient engagement is critical to moving medicine out of its decades-long rut of stagnating...

Hell. Yes.

Somehow I doubt that cancer patients would agree to the proposition that since psychological therapies "helps" "some", nothing else should be done and they should just accept they have psychological boo-boos. Weird how context changes things. Almost like... context matters? What?!

The biggest weaknesses of those past studies is that they are very biased towards the sickest cases. Considering how difficult it has been in the context of COVID to include mild, even asymptomatic cases, I don't see how past studies in different contexts could have even considered this...

Some interesting discussion in the thread making the point that it's not the psychological nature of the assumptions that we object to, but the fact that they are merely assumptions and completely wrong at that. I think the point got across and he seems to understand it, but it shows how...

Literally don't even have a hypothesis. When asked, they just pretend it's not a valid question. And these people are taken seriously. Absurd.

There are, in fact, many differences. They are, in fact, completely different things. The basis of science, the early days of actual science work, was categorization and classification. Is X the same thing as Y? What is X? And if it's not the same as Y, why? And here these loons are basically...

Wait, why do we spend billions on basic research when Henrik knows? All we need to do is ask him. Since he knows. He knows whether research is necessary or not. I'm sure he has an impressive track record of that. With arguments like that, who wouldn't be convinced? It's quite something to...
