I think it's incredibly complex when medicine and geopolitics become intertwined - as we discovered when it came to the origins and airborne...
This is all my greatest fear concerning Long Covid research - that any progress will be undone by a failure to define and stratify what is a...
Interesting article from Leonard Jason. Here's an excerpt: https://undark.org/2024/03/28/opinion-define-long-covid/ In 2023, the National...
Janna Moen, a neuroscientist who's working in Akiko Iwasaki's lab at Yale and has Long Covid/ME herself, has just written a piece on the history...
They reference a study at the Royal Free from 1990, which caught my eye because a separate participant in that study told me to take sertraline...
This was a remarkably cynical move. The study was released as a pre-print a month ago, but the public health director chose today - Long Covid...
I wish it wasn't the case, but none of those things constitute research misconduct. Now it may be the case that when people dig sufficiently into...
It's certainly not ethical or acceptable, but it's also not research misconduct, and academics will obsess over those kinds of distinctions....
I'm afraid an academic imposing their pre-ordained conclusions on research is a pretty everyday occurrence. It of course goes profoundly contrary...
RECOVER is a very different equation to this study. They were essentially, due to the longstanding neglect of ME, trying to understand what they...
I think this is the politically smart response to the paper - skate over its conclusions and serious flaws, and use it to call for proper funding...
The only solution is sustained and large-scale funding for biomedical research. Simply refuting their arguments and pushing back against them will...
I largely agree about Long Covid being a medical mystery - clearly we have an incredibly incomplete understanding of what's driving the illness....
They seem to have fixed the problems on the website, phew
So we initially wrote the article as a rebuttal to a piece in Time essentially calling for an end to biomedical research into Long Covid. We soon...
Alongside a team of three fellow longhaulers, I published an article calling for scientific ambition in our efforts to understand Long Covid and...
It drives me up the wall that no Long Covid researcher has tried to replicate the nano-needle finding in a well-defined post-covid ME cohort....
Ah yep, the NIH reporter website suggests the funding is just for 2024. Also saw someone say that it’s common practice for the NIH not to award...
I’m very surprised it’s just $5.7 million considering a) there are over 500 participants, b) the drug itself is apparently very expensive, and c)...
Also just shocking how many "wins" there were today: - The HELP hearing - Science (impact factor of 47) published an important Long Covid study -...
