    Petition: A Call for the Universal Use of Respirators in Healthcare (deadline October 31st)

    It would help. They are now asking for anyone and as many as possible to sign. Sorry if petition was a wrong word. I thought of it as a petition for support of the letter. ETA: I see how it could be misunderstood and have edited the first post to make it clearer.

    Review Immunological associations in post-infective fatigue syndromes including Long COVID, Raijmakers, Wyller, Knoop, Lloyd et al, 2025

    I think that sounds quite possible. Wyller says the immune system is influenced by stress, so as long as the answer is some kind of CBT, he seems happy enough with the question. In one of the TV programmes he was in the other day, he said straight out that his approach is most cost effective...

    Review Immunological associations in post-infective fatigue syndromes including Long COVID, Raijmakers, Wyller, Knoop, Lloyd et al, 2025

    Just adding the conclusion where it says something about "functional brain alterations": One of the authors, Wyller, is pushing "Pain Reprocessing Therapy" hard these days and recently got a whole day in the spotlight at the Norwegian broadcaster via radio, the evening news and a news debate...

    Development and validation of blood-based diagnostic biomarkers for [ME/CFS] using EpiSwitch®… 2025, Hunter et al. (Oxford Biodynamics)

But it will require more well-conducted studies to be able to conclude this". Sundhedspolitisk Tidsskrift Ny...
