I agree that we should take care not to get caught up in this side debate about mind-body dualism or "not psychological", because that debate is irrelevant!

There can be a clear behavioural component, in terms of risk (eg smoking for lung cancer, or diet for type 2 diabetes) and treatment compliance (if you don't seek treatment for a severe cancer...) But perhaps that is not what you mean?

It's funny how these "validation" studies never actually bother to ask the patients themselves as to whether they think it is relevant, reflective of their experience or for that matter, do the questions make sense?

These people have no interest in actually listening to the experience of people, they're just interested in pushing their politically motivated worldview. They're threatened by LongCovid because it suggests their policy of just letting young people get infected (because they'll get over it no...

This article seems to miss an entire chapter of history - what came before COVID. The reason why US authorities are so critical of AstraZeneca is because they have a history of not meeting their obligations. Their other vaccine, FluMist was marketed for several years (from 2013-2016, perhaps...

Quite frankly, that article is crap. The problem isn't merely clotting, the problem is that it's inducing a rare autoimmune thrombocytopenia condition which as been temporarily named "vaccine-induced prothrombotic immune thrombocytopenia". Yet that isn't mentioned in the article at all. It is...

For those mentioning benefits/side effects, can you state which dosages you tried? In Australia, there is 10 mg, 60 mg, and 180 mg slow release, I'd expect experience of side effects may vary as a result.

It's still all suggestive evidence, but I'd suggest something along the lines of "abnormal neurovascular coupling" too. This is also the most likely explanation for the frequent experience of headaches.

What Do Ducks Have to Do With Cancer? The QUACK model... (you always know research is of poor quality when cortisol is the central pillar of the hypothesis) Why even bother doing empirical science, when you can just publish hypothetical models like this?

3 weeks is more optimal for everybody in terms of germinal cell kinetics. (for the mRNA vaccines)

Yes.

Notably other conditions like Asthma are also not considered to be a part of the risk/priority group in Australia...

Yes.

All of these claims in the media are speculation, rather than being based on published studies. The one published study showed a fairly weak response and had limited sample size (66 participants). People want to believe there is a simple and easy solution, but reality is usually more...

But those sensations/perceptions in dreams are flawed. They are not anything like reality. It is just the brain often doesn't care. I regularly wake up from dreams simply because they are not real enough. Last night I woke up after trying to eat pizza in a dream. At the instant of "tasting" it...

I've never seen anyone phrase it quite like that. But I wonder if there are still a few people who claim just that (or the equivalent with a different symptom)? (but even if they claim it, that doesn't mean it is true)

Why are they pretending like "FND" is a single condition?

Well my experience is very different to yours and I'll leave it at that...

The big mistake she is making is confusing the message with the messenger. The presentation of illness to medical practitioners (or shamans or whatever) is very much socially influenced and can explain these strange observations, without requiring any notion of social factors causing those...
