It's funny how they often name questionnaires that focus on measuring mental disorders in a non-descript manner such as "Composite International Diagnostic Interview".

That is the study I cited in the post above and well, the claim they have discovered the reason is misleading at best...

@Jonathan Edwards Have you seen this? https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-558954/v1 I think the title is extremely misleading since no evidence of mimicry has been provided and a study already ruled out molecular mimicry due to the spike protein. I have previously proposed...

An AUC of 0.78 is crap and will lead to a very high rate of false positives and negatives.

Note,

Chapter 10 completely mischaracterises the experiences of ME/CFS patients and Nasim Marie Jafry in particular who was unaware that her work had been mischaracterised in the book until I told her about it. Nasim also had prior interactions with the author and tried to explain such experiences to...

Patients were never asked. As usual...

The sensitivity and specificity of sniffer dogs for something like COVID is poor, I suspect it's promotion, is so that it can be used as a deterrent.

Of the data that I have (for myself): rs10109853 C/C rs4736794 A/A ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

While I encourage novel hypotheses, I don't find the hypotheses terribly compelling given the current evidence. I'd encourage the authors to conduct in-depth empirical studies if they are serious about the hypothesis. Unfortunately, in the narrative review, the authors haven't clearly...

By the way, it is being claimed that the recent PHE AstraZeneca data may be an 'underestimate' as many of those who contracted COVID had only had their booster within 2-4 weeks of contracting COVID and therefore they may not have had enough time to develop 'full immunity'. That claim is not...

The key with actimetry is not that it is an either/or, but used in addition to other measures, including measures of symptoms and level of cognitive activity.

Here is some data: Note the sample sizes are relatively small, meaning the figures are somewhat uncertain. The previously reported 80% claim was based on combined AZ/Pfizer results...

Maybe. I can't find the latest PHE data. The claim is likely to be based on retrospective estimates of infection comparing for a non-randomised (and thus biased) non vaccinated vs. the vaccinated cohort for those who showed up at a testing clinic or hospital and tested positive (I'd wager almost...

Does he have a fever? Sounds like a form of delirium.

I agree. Having said that, studies do often show that patients self-report improvements from baseline, in the first few years. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15699087/

Sorry to hear you haven't been doing well since the vaccine! I will say however, that such symptoms after just a vaccine is interesting in terms of suggesting pathology of Dysgeusia/Anosmia!

Some of the researcher comments weren't bad, but I agree it should be emphasised that such surveys are always of low-quality and not generalisable.

None of this is particularly insightful, but I guess the narrative review could be useful for anyone unfamiliar with the field. The lack of discussion of parallels with ME, CFS and other post-viral syndromes is indicative of the lack of broader picture thinking...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GW501516 A PPAR delta receptor agonist is an... interesting idea. It has clear metabolic effects and stimulates PPARGC1A which is a regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis. The problem is we still don't understand the underlying causes and it may actually exacerbate...
