Trisha Greenhalgh on ME/CFS and Long Covid

I was thinking more of a Buddhist Prayer Wheel

 

Why early? It's still happening. So why only early on? Odd.

There was also that early paper that featured a whopper such as (paraphrasing) long haulers "felt" like their fatigue was different from CFS and thus viewed it as different. Without explanation. And in fact in contradiction with what was known, and since then very much debunked.

The author was one TG, or something like that. Should look into that, it's not good to misinform people in scientific literature, especially as a mere expression of opinion, exactly like what Carson and his buddies do.

 

This is not the conventional way you do a literature review, just saying.

 

Can someone post Alan Carson's tweets in this exchange? He blocked me a long time ago. thanks!

 

Well, however unconventional the method, Greenhalgh seems to have saved herself the task of analysis. Carson has done it for her. A bit like a fly coming to sit on a leaf in front of a chameleon I would say.

 

I don't have a Twitter account, so I can't be blocked, and I can see everything that those with accounts have posted publicly.

These are the first four responses to the original tweet on this subject, as I see them.



I am shocked by the blasé tone of "Psychology is key to any recovery of course, but I'm sure you know that"

 

Round, like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's burning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space

Like the circles that you find

In the windmills of your mind.

...
Half-remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong
When you knew that it was over
Were you suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the color of her hair
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind

Like the circles that you find

In the windmills of your mind.

 

If X is blocked by TG does that mean that X can't physically reply to TG, or that TG can be replied to by X but TG won't see any replies by X?

 

Thanks, Trish.

 

Person X can be muted by person Y, so that Y won't see X's posts (one-way).
Blocking X means that Y won't see X, but also X can't see Y (two-way). Blocking also prevents replies to and quote-tweets of Y's content by X.

 

Tbanks @Trish!!!

Carson actually linked to the NYU study in his tweet as an example of an elegant demonstration of something???

 

If X is blocked by TG, it means that X is free to play with Y, Z and whatever mathematical formula they desire. X is also free to delve into chemistry and X is therefore a free radical.

 

Which would require also looking at how things have been recently, not just early.

Because it hasn't changed. As her buddy Carson trying to sell how all the cool kids think it is clearly shows.

 

No, it's really not. It's actually as superfluous as what people think of the color red. What a bunch of BS that says everything about the intent. I'm not sure she should be encouraged to write anything, in fact it would be far better if she'd stay out of a topic she clearly can't be bothered to actually learn anything about.

If anything she should be strongly encouraged to stay out of this on account that any contribution she makes would be bad for patients, but as a result of mass-banning the people most involved on this issue, she wouldn't even hear that.

Ugh. What is it with people who think their contributions are a gift to the world, even when they don't bother putting any effort into it?
