COFFI - The international collaborative on fatigue following infection

I have added a community note to Garner's latest post promoting the COFFI YouTube video.

Please rate accordingly!

Is this the big research he was going on about the other week?Please someone ask him why PEM is delayed?

 

This is probably what he was referring to on radio.

 

Is he still being silenced then?
You’d think they would want to give samples of blood to show Chris Ponting, it would be fascinating to see if they have the same patterns within as MECFS patients.

 

The most frustrating part is when scientists and medical doctors invoke predictive coding to explain sensations where there is no evidence for such predictive coding in humans. These people fail to understand that predictive coding itself happens for a reason, namely it is required when real-time prediction is required, such as for proprioceptive systems (including eye tracking), or speech perception related attention.

Pain and fatigue signalling does not require real time prediction.

It is strange why so many believe something with no evience.

Fact is that molecular mimicry has been shown to lead to T-cell tolerance of foreign antigens. Specifically, mimicry of Campylobacter Jejuni LPS to gangliosides leads to immunological tolerance of CJ LPS - which is the opposite of the putative mechanism for CJ associated Guillain Barre Syndrome. https://journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.1128/iai.70.9.5008-5018.2002
