    Covid-19 vaccines and vaccinations

    Open Pilot Study: A Novel Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Treatment for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

    Two errors noticed, maybe due to those charged with putting it online? "how brain stimulation effects symptoms" instead of "affects". (presumably an error) "Completion of up three" instead of "up to three".
