Long COVID: How researchers are zeroing in on the self-targeted immune attacks that may lurk behind it Matthew Woodruff, Emory University Published: August 31, 2022 12.19pm EDT For almost three years, scientists have raced to understand the immune responses in patients who develop severe...

Article in National Gdographic How multiple COVID-19 infections can harm the body

I agree but at the same time most of those attributions are because there is nothing measurably wrong, so they can get away with it easily. The other thing is, despite the efforts of the BPS brigade and others, if there is money to be made selling drugs to cure or treat people, then the space is...

I wonder why POTS is so poorly understood? It's a very objective diagnosis, you would think by now research would have figured it out. I understand its not that common but there are plenty of rarer illnesses that are far better researched and understood

Now that the big vaccine manufacturers are developing omicron specific vaccines I am curious to know what happens next. At the moment the variant vaccine under trial is for omicron ba1/2 which is now not in circulation that much. So it remains to be seen if that vaccine ever gets approved...

You nailed it! (as they say now)

It is strange because images like the one I have pasted below are all over social media with people liking them in copious amounts. Yet a jounalist can't seem to spot this sort of stuff when it's under their nose.

Is it really that complex or is it that they have no fundamental understanding of science? There are literally no scientific counter arguments in any of the articles I read, yet the journalists still seem to throw in the usual nonsense as a balance. I thought the difference between the...

Tom Chivers: Okay, I just spent three days interviewing scientists, clinicians and patients about ME/CFS treatments. They all disagree enormously. It's a hugely contentious issue and the facts are disputed. Is CBT/GET therapy valid? Is the research? What "window" am I meant to look out of?"...

The high hopes I had have long ago disappeared. But I don't feel sorry for Hilda Basten, it's her making.

It probably is super rare. But that doesn't mean they don't happen.

Bourla (CEO of pfizer has said that the bulk of the profits will come from first World countries and that they have a tiered pricing. Doesn't that logic apply to all vaccines?

Thanks. But when we talk of herd immunity my understanding was that the herd is a cross sectional % of the entire population. There are roughly 20% under 18, and all this age category attend school and play sports etc. together. So the virus would run rampant in this age group. I don't see how...

But I don't see why then teens need to be the ones who miss out. I understand that the whole world needs vaccines and before everyone gets vaccinated we are all at some level of risk. But that logic applied when they were vaccinating the 20 Yr olds, 30 yr olds etc. Now it seems they are...

This was taken from the BBC today Can someone explain why it would be controversial to vaccinate teenagers in Scotland and why would vaccinating the rest of the world protect against variants,( more than vaccinating teenagers in Scotland).
