I had written this blog about it in 2020 when it was getting underway: https://virology.ws/2020/08/08/trial-by-error-and-now-no-surprise-cbt-for-post-covid-fatigue/

he didn't say this. And this is really a stretch. He didn't remotely say or suggest anything like this.

Is he prominent in some way? He looks pretty young for the image.

I completely understand the issue about "settled science." The phrase had sort of caught my eye and then it was mentioned on this thread here. When I asked him, my sense in the moment--and I didn't watch or listen to it before I posted it--was that he was not really endorsing 100% every one of...

This seems like the pertinent point.

This is a Nature journal. It sure is strange that they allow a declarative statement of causality in a study of 27 people with no comparisons n group.

Someone from Norway posted it and chided her compatriots that there were only 27 donations from Norway at that time. That drove up the numbers a bit in the next couple days! Since I have started this, it has always UK first, US second (but usually only half as many donations as UK), and then...

Thanks, all!! Just to make this clear: When I start a crowdfunding thing, I already consider myself as having committed to continuing the project for the upcoming six months--in this case from July through December. Even if it fell short, I'd of course fulfill that commitment and I'd find some...

yes it's a complete failure of logic.

why today? It was released weeks ago already...

My assumption would be that it's a natural concept that some or many people would tend to arrive at by trial and error on their own, and so it isn't surprising to me if multiple people are credited as the first, because they all might have been the first in their areas or in their networks. I...

Thanks for tracking it! I've learned through experimentation that looking at the total multiple times a day doesn't make it go up any faster. Nor does not looking at it make it go up more slowly. Go figure!! There's a lesson in there somewhere.

They pretty much seem to approve anything. I'd like to see some proposals they have actually turned down.

why has spending dropped by $4 million from last year? And this funding includes the funding for the centers? Or would it just include the center funding mentioned above? There must be other funding going annually to the centers beyond the above. ADD: The grant for millions for the fatigue study...

yes, those pieces are really good. I try to repost them on VB as well.

which paper was that?

unfortunately for him, it does indeed say that long covid is unrelated to covid-19 infection--technically, it doesn't say it doesn't exist, just that it's unrelated to infection.

exactly--this is the paper's main finding.

Exactly. I'm not sure exactly where it would be added, but certainly in the contributions section or somewhere it would have been appropriate to mention it. I don't know if it would have been formally required but it seems odd to have left it out completely. ADDED: Or in the methodology section...

I think this is the real question. I think the article is premised on a general "understanding" that overall psychotherapeutic help is of benefit. But my cursory understanding is that measured benefits are associated with the relationship with the therapist rather than any particular modality...
