Who wants to buy a cheap bridge? It's in an area with a lot of cute flying pigs, you'll love it!

Well any discussion of psychology and CFS eventually leads to Simon Wessley being mentioned, so his @ing of Godwin is some sort of reverse-Godwin. or something.

The basis of evidence based medicine is that there doesn't need to be a solid understanding of the underlying condition. There just needs to be high quality evidence of efficacy. Trials that are not controlled, eg are not blinded and rely on questionnaires are not high quality evidence.

There is a comment on pubpeer by the way: https://pubpeer.com/publications/AFE059364C22AEEBF7CDC627969403

My sister has adult onset T1D hmm!?! (confirmation bias for the win!)

I guess he doesn't understand how to infer causality from correlation.

Exactly. It's not a "model", that is a misnomer. It was ultimately about Engel's effort to re-legitimise psychiatry.

A vaccine for multiple viruses in the same needle is likely to be safer than vaccines for those same viruses administered at separate times. Each one is a new independent event to stimulate the immune system (especially so if adjuvants are involved). My opinion after reviewing the data on...

I had neither a fever or typical viral-like illness - just rapid onset severe fatigue and severe weakness in my lower limbs.

Which is the justification for the compensation scheme that they use in the US, but such a scheme is often absent in many countries including Australia (thus making mandatory vaccination or coercion unethical in Australia).

Of course no one ever lies in their Twitter bio. By the way, my Twitter bio says I'm an animagus. I prefer the term "Predatory Journal" because that's what they really are...

I had the same experience with sudden onset GBS with symptoms starting right after a vaccination (and I did not experience, nor test positive to any sort of infection at that time!) - no one wants to take responsibility due to all the politics involved. The thing is that acute flacid paralysis...

Is this really true though? Vaccination rates have been increasing steadily for decades at a more or less constant rate in most countries. The media claims of outbreaks are overblown - infection rates go up and down due to stochastic factors and these differences over given periods don't have...

These studies seem inconsistent. An increase in CFS/ME but not GBS in Finland https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2405852116300696 An increase in GBS in France: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264410X17308071 These studies don't say there is no link, they...

That is exactly what I am saying. Improving fitness requires an increase in intensity - which is not required by the regime and thus many patients will avoid it. Yes, the GET but not really GET study was conducted in Perth by Karen Wallman (and treated the same as the other GET trials in the...

I've done the stroop test too as part of an undegraduate student project and I was quite nervous too. The fact is we have to work harder to concentrate and that may well also stimulate more areas of the brain (some of that extra stimulation may aid performance - should not be ruled out)

'putative' = shit people made up.

The hardware/software analogy is simply body/mind duality with a different name. This needs to be called out whenever invoked.

Then the target shouldn't be the general population, but the scientific community.

Perhaps we need ABBA to write a song for us? ;)
