I'm sure that the basic content of this article comes as no surprise to most people here, but I think it's really good to have such an extensive and accurate article published in the New York Times. If these practices are going to end, publicity like this is going to play a major role. Women...

Here is a fascinating article from Wired explaining a lot about why the initial WHO guidance (as well as the CDC guidance) about managing COVID-19 was so dreadfully wrong. It was this error that was one of the central reasons that mask wearing was not emphasized as early as it should have been...

It gets worse. Bolding mine. This could easily have been written 30 years ago. I have not heard of this site before, but it appears to be driven by a conservative ideology, and such ideologies by their very nature are not very open to changes in views - thus the outdated description of "CFS".

[Edit: This post was merged from its own thread. I have rearranged a couple of lines of this post so that they make sense in the context of this thread. The original post was based on the New York Times article entitled Too Much High-Intensity Exercise May Be Bad for Your Health.] Change...

Although your post referred to a couple of specific sections of the paper, I thought it would be useful to mention that Cort Johnson has written an article about this paper that he published today entitled Study Suggests Similar Processes Are Driving Long COVID and ME/CFS. The article is in...

An excellent article from The Atlantic: Unlocking the Mysteries of Long COVID It's a great summary of what's been learned to date, and includes a number of illustrative case histories. It also makes a strong case tying long COVID to dysautonomia, and notes the similarities and differences...

The January 2021 issue of Scientific American has an excellent article entitled The Immune Havoc of COVID-19. It explains in detail the interactions between the virus and the immune system that make the virus so dangerous. I highly recommend it.

Merged thread A rather damning article from Science Magazine, which is a publication of the AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science). The article does an excellent job of destroying any credibility that MIkovits may have left. It describes some really wild conspiracy...

It is gratifying to see such an intelligent discussion of the COVID-19 pandemic on S4ME. If the people who are actually managing this pandemic displayed as much knowledge of the subject as the people here, I think we would be in much better shape than we are. Meanwhile, as the data...

With all the data about the spread of COVID-19 coming out daily, it's often hard to see what's going on and what the underlying trends are. I have found the video How To Tell If We're Beating COVID-19 to be extremely helpful in displaying these trends in a way that is easy to see and...

The six-foot rule was for everything, since you can't always tell ahead of time when someone is going to cough or sneeze. As the article points out in detail, six feet was assumed to cover those cases. And even for normal breathing, six feet may not be enough. As I quoted in my first post...

It looks like we may need to be even more careful. This may help clarify why there are so many unexplained cases of transmission. Six-foot rule to protect against coronavirus is questionable, MIT professor says From the article: This article was based on a piece published in the Journal of...

In the last few hours, the US has surpassed both Italy and China to become the country with the most confirmed coronavirus cases in the world. This is just a day after the US passed 1000 total deaths, and occurs as the total global number of cases passes 500,000, also today. Below is a list of...

Merged thread A few hours ago, the WHO formally designated the novel coronavirus a pandemic. For a full account of this declaration, see WHO declares coronavirus a pandemic, citing ‘alarming levels of spread and … alarming levels of inaction’ . For many people, it is a bit confusing why the...

I just got an email from my doctor recommending that all his patients stop taking ranitidine. For those people who are currently taking ranitidine and wish to replace it with an equivalent, safe H2 blocker, famotidine (Pepcid) can be an excellent choice. Like ranitidine, its side effects are...

Dr. Montoya has released a statement concerning the events of the last week. I of course can't judge its accuracy, but it definitely puts forward a different story than what has been reported in recent articles, and is hard to reconcile with his firing from a tenured position. Here is his...

Over the last few hours, this story has been elevated from one of the leading stories on CNN's front page to the main story in the upper left corner, with a bigger headline and picture than any other story on the page. (U.S. edition only.) It's now impossible to miss this story, and the main...

CNN has published a story on its front page entitled Human Genome Project pioneer seeks cure for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome to save his own son. The front page link features a picture of Ron Davis. This is the story referred to in the thread Action alert for upcoming CNN reporting. It's a long...
