    Do you mean the full event or just these extracts?
    I don't know on either case though I imagine these extracts haven't been posted elsewhere. For example on Bluesky, videos can only be up to 1 minute.

    Does anyone know what “non-invasive objective measures” Todd Davenport was referring to in the panel today? It wasn’t clear to me whether he meant that they are under development now or if he was referring to something existing already.

    #RECOVER #LongCOVID Treatment Conference - that's the kind of creative approach RECOVER needs IMO. Why did RECOVER not assess LDN, Mestinon, Oxaloacetate, Rapamycin, monoclonal antibodies, checkpoint inhibitors - and at least do small trials.

    This article is spot on imo.
    Claiming that they won't wear masks now in an indoor space full of people, despite risking long covid, because it would somehow mean reliving being ""traumatized" and "because it was so painful", beggars belief.

    I still have no idea what people even mean by that. It was disruptive, but to call it traumatizing, for most people it makes a mockery of actual traumatizing events. For some, sure, but the people to whom it was most traumatizing had loved ones who died, and the idea that they would be against such measures makes no sense.

    Of course what they mean is that it's unpopular and has little public support. So they simply admit that they respond to such things, even though they are largely responsible for how it unfolds, public support follows their leadership, and they have none. It's such an absurd position to uphold. Exactly like politicians who tell the truth after they leave office. About things they could have done something about while in office. But they didn't when it mattered.

    Again and again I try to give people like NIH the benefit of the doubt.
    Again and again they themselves pull the rug from under that.

    Medicine really has lost its way.

    Trauma has become a fad and an industry, and is out of control. It is being applied to every slightly unpleasant experience.

    And not just medicine. The general scientific project is struggling, for a variety of reasons.

    Academia never really had it. It's just that further in the past they were dealing with the relatively easy hanging fruits. People could just stumble by pure chance onto major discoveries, or manage revolutionary insights with just pen and paper. Especially in the early days a lot of the research was funded by benefactors who didn't have a RoI mentality, or were wealthy aristocrats or sons (usually) of bourgeoisie who didn't have any of the modern fun stuff the idle rich have access to today. So some of them did science instead of yachting and jetting between tropical paradises and risk-free adventures they can get back from in a day.

    We have something similar in software. Starting projects is so fun and interesting. Then you hit the part where the fun stuff is done and you have to work hard at the boring parts, and most projects get abandoned at this stage. Every talented programmer has dozens of those. Academia hit that wall decades ago, and hasn't adapted to it. In fact seem to have made things worse with the publish-and-perish-anyway model that only allows people to color within the lines.

    The wall of boring is the most difficult to surpass. That's really why AI is the only relevant factor. Humans have hit their limits, what's left is too hard for us and we can't handle it on our own. That's why I'm not worried about the potential threat of AI destroying humanity. We're going to do it ourselves, without a chance to avoid it. Only AI can avoid it, although it can certainly make the end happen a lot faster. But we're mostly done either way. It's either the end, or the beginning of an era so unlike the others that what's on the other side will be radically more different than our modern age is to our hunter-gatherer ancestors.

    There's only so much we can do with brains evolved to survive as barbarians hunting animals and picking stuff off shrubs. We had a good run, but we've reached the limits a while ago and are just waiting where the chips fall. We're doing everything to make climate change worse anyway so the end of civilization is already programmed anyway.

    The RECOVER-TLC Event Day One: Lived Experience

    September 30, 2024
    8:41 pm

    In 2021, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) launched its ambitious nearly $2 billion RECOVER Initiative, dedicated to finding the root causes of and possible treatments for Long Covid.

    Solve played a critical role in securing the preliminary $1.25 billion in funding for the program, and Solve representatives continue to serve on many advisory, authorship, and oversight committees for RECOVER.

    RECOVER has published nearly 80 papers and collected millions of data points with more work still underway, but only recently has responded to public pressure to focus on therapeutics and treatments. The launch of RECOVER-Treating Long COVID (RECOVER – TLC), a new program to develop and initiate additional Long Covid clinical trials, is backed by $500 million to find new ways to treat patients with Long Covid.

    In September, the NIH held a three-day workshop at its campus in Bethesda, Maryland, to discuss the path forward for RECOVER-TLC. In this blog series, we’re summarizing the workshop in its entirety.
