Absolutely excellent effort from the Long Covid Moonshot people. They managed to get 15 senators to attend the hearing, which required days of...
I agree that it’s a very questionable claim, but who deserves a platform if Ron Davis doesn’t? Scientists/academics are flawed human beings, and...
These are the biological abnormalities they cite, would be interested in hearing what ppl think: The most important replicated abnormalities...
Thanks for explaining! I wonder how they'll spin this into yet another CBT triumph :blackeye:
Two questions - a) what was the non-CBT intervention? Was it a glorified version of GET/CBT? b) as someone who hasn't done stats in years, is an...
God it's an awful, long story - I'll give a brief version. Basically, there's this small corner of Long Covid twitter that's turned on people with...
So, Iwasaki, Putrino, and Proal are v distinct figures - they collaborate on some studies, but have their own separate research initiatives. I've...
This is a small point, but I don't think the studies Putrino/Iwasaki and the Long Covid Research Collaborative have produced are biobabble, but...
That makes sense - I suppose where I'd disagree is on the idea that Putrino/Iwasaki/Proal (and the Long Covid Research Collaborative) represent...
Agreed about Putrino’s thread. Even if those three aren’t necessarily doing innovative science, they’re helping establish these illnesses as an...

Thanks for explaining :)
What exactly is precision life? They seem to be doing excellent work, but more on the fundamental research side of things, which seems rather...
Just to add on - the scientific racism of the early 20th century had huge societal implications. It is obviously very different to propose that...
I think you’re misunderstanding where they’re coming from. The innate difference they refer to and reject is the scientific racism and eugenics of...
