They themselves had to admit that there was no association between symptoms and the so-called "factors", but they nonetheless continue to call them "factors" and talk about their "soothing influences". :dead:

I'm wondering what scientific device/measurement could evaluate the degree of unconscious willingness to abandon one's task while refusing to admit it because one fears an epidemic, specially retrospectivelly. So I guess it can only be "wild speculation" on the part of SW.

Make the patients fill endless questionnaires, statistically, you'll get some positive results. Ladies and gentlemen *Science*

I was not talking about the viral part of what we've been through, but the neglect, disbelief, contempt we've all have had to face at some point, which have been distructive and lead some of us in a state of dispair difficult to imagine. Just because they felt sick and the cause is unknown. I...

Nice to see this. He's never been so clear (was a bit ambiguous previously).

I can no longer stand quacks like Mikovits, she's done so much harm to us. She is seriously deluded and does not care about patients, it's all about her and her fragile ego that needs to be fed over and over to prevent her from crashing.

France Soir has become a very, very bad newspaper, full of the worst conspiracy theories. One of the researchers involved in the trial answered a very reliable science journalist and denied what was said in the France Soir interview Google translate: Peter Horby formally denies this...
