Aside from how his argument of 25 years of experience in clinical evidence absolutely beclowns not just the medical profession but the clinical evidence specialties, it's something that the ridiculous argument of Tuller being crowdfunded years after he began is supposed to be the reason for his...

Those disasters did not go on for decades at the rabid insistence of everyone involved long after it was obvious, though. That's the difference, most such disasters are unfortunate events that usually end up in hard lessons learned. This is the one same mistake going back well over a century...

Junk pseudoscience. As always.

I take it to mean that a simple microscope is all it takes, no need for fancy expensive equipment like imaging machines or electron microscopes that have months of queued work everyone is fighting for. Can't say for the rest but that statement is clear to me. Any solution that requires...

Especially when you are not accumulating data. Even more so when refusing to accumulate any data is excused by having refused to accumulate any data for decades. As a choice. It's absurd how there's just no accountability. Someone can be prosecuted for criminal negligence for leaving the access...

Damn. So many physicians whining about how patients never talk about psychosocial stuff. All of which means is that the patients are not comfortable doing so with them, knowing it will harm them. They are the problem, but can't see it precisely because being the problem makes them unable to see...

Today, and fitting with a recent uptick, I am seeing a disturbing number of government officials, ministers, school boards and other public organizations explicitly talking about the "overwhelming" evidence that wearing masks, which ended a full year ago in most places and was far more limited...

Yeah, frankly it looks like the next few months could be especially ugly and disrespectful. The only effect it seemed to have had is to get a more aggressive counter-reaction. There's just too much at stake, too many careers, billions wasted and millions of lives ruined. Admitting this is...

Neurologists studying the neurological consequences of COVID don't appear personally concerned about those consequences. I wonder how much the belief that it happens to "others", you know, weak people, "catastrophizers", plays into this. (Nothing special, just a photo of a conference with no...

If only past and current RACGP had not opted at every opportunity to deny and dismiss the issue of chronic illness and do absolutely nothing good about it, maybe current and future RACGP would have more than all this talk with definitely no walk. Because the main obstacle to the RACGP doing...

Not surprising. A job site probably works with a lot of staffing companies and HR departments. They have to care that people are only able to work under certain conditions. Their job is to know the job market and they can't gaslight reality about it. Economists, accountants and actuaries will...

Literally, and I do mean literally literally, this: That's neat. "Trust us we're experts" is going to a lot of weight in the near future. How can it be trusted that they don't make many small mistakes when they are obsessively committed to major mistakes affecting, by their own claims, a...

This is really a shocking comment when you think about it. The starting position for all of this was: absolutely not, this is not a thing, no one will have any long-term consequences unless they suffer from severe disease and anyone who says otherwise is a crank trying to incite panic. And now...

To be sure, I'm trying to find out when the first crowdfunding campaign began. From what I found it was in Summer 2017. The 1st post on the blog is from June 2017. Is that correct? Not that I think he will shut up about it but there's this dude who keeps pretending that Tuller being funded in...

Also harms are obviously far more important to look at than benefits, even more so in illnesses that are widely known to be both highly fluctuating but also often relapse. This is the literal basis of "first do no harm", but it's not in effect for an issue that's been demedicalized. It should...

It's basically clear that they can say anything they want, no matter how silly, and it makes no difference. His whole argument, verbatim, is that "it is possible". I assure you that it is possible for the Moon to fall on the Earth. There is nothing preventing it physically from happening. It...

So, illness. All of those are direct consequences of the illness, or the illness itself. You can even sort of put old age in that category, as it usually means more health problems. I mean, sure, they are happening in life, I guess that's one way to have an argument, just make it fully generic...

So this is basically the same stuff as eugenicists and supremacists who defined intelligence using European morphological features and "finding" that other races just aren't as intelligent because their morphological features don't match the definition of intelligence. It's also the stuff of...

I guess they wanted to make it very clear that they don't have a damn clue and that the massive harm and suffering they forced on us was not a misunderstanding of any kind, and that they have not learned a single thing out of this. The answer to the question is simple: it's everywhere, it's...

This is the right framing. Very rare. They are impacts. It's very sad that we can never talk or do something about those impacts because they are systematically reattributed as the cause. In their most formal definition, of which the vast majority of "cases" don't meet, anxiety and depression...
