Oh they will say it. They will all say it. All of them. And we will show the receipts about how they knew. And they will keep on saying it because clearly none of this actually matters, the systems protect themselves above all other considerations.

I didn't bother calculating what it means but when you put it like that it's not just completely laughable, as you say this is about years/days of perfect health so it's not even valid since those are healthy years equivalent. It literally means nothing. This is at least as completely delusional...

Gonna (presumably, if accurate) quote Gandhi here: "Methodological and ethical standards in psychosomatics? I think it would be a good idea".

It's mentioned in the text but they mostly shrug it off as "good enough", even though given that those were a small number of assigned GPs I don't think this excuse holds up well (6 GPs were involved, come on) but I doubt it would have changed anything and it's not as if any of this matters...

Aside from being a terrible idea with no possible good outcome, studies like this just shows how medicine is as totally clueless as ever about depression and has not actually made any progress in understanding what it is, let alone how to differentiate it from anything else. In fact the complete...

Whew, that is one confused individual who is adding as much clarity to the issue as throwing mud helps make water crystal clear. Basically rehashing all the tropes while lamenting wistfully about how, sometimes, maybe there is something but, who knows? For sure he really wants to make sure that...

The most salient point is that none of it came from flawed science, it came from flawed beliefs and a process that is a parody alternative to science, built entirely out of logical fallacies. If this had been a scientific process, none of this would have happened. Not that science can't be...

Could it be because the costs are immediate but the benefits are long-term and so will not bear fruit for decades? I would be truly shocked if it wasn't. One of the problems with health care being a major political issue, even though almost nothing changes whoever is in charge, is that...

And now I'm wondering if this could explain vaccine-induced pain around the site of injection? Maybe partly?

Interview with representative Ilhan Omar about the House version of the Long Covid bill: Should be watchable in full here: https://zeteo.com/p/the-efforts-are-not-enough-rep-ilhan.

So the same old nothing. The idea that this is effective, even cost-effective, is laughable. But almost no one seems bothered by that. "Illness without disease". As they explain early on, this is what they perceive as 'somatization'. So, the exact same old nonsense with the same intent and...

Ah, so they took correlations and ran with them being causes because it came with an easy lifestyle change that people could do all on their own. A tale as old as time.

Yeah this is exactly what HIV and climate change deniers say. I don't get this refusal to do anything based on lack of information when it's their whole job to do this. Lazy bums waiting for a handout.

All the wrong focus. You can't fake this, and all this training is about not just faking it, but about lying, then lying about the lying effectively. They respond to the problem with a more devious and dishonest form of the problem. Again and again. Like they do here. This article is very much...

This is a great article. It strikes the careful balance between being formal and informative while emphasizing the human aspect in a way that people can relate to. I wish 'scandal' wouldn't have been quoted, but I assume the editors insisted. This is a scandal, one of the biggest in the history...

OK this is an amazing quote. :laugh::laugh:

I've had an interest in US politics for over 2 decades and follow the election closely. I have not once seen any attempt to reach disabled voters. Not once. Same with local politics here. It is not simply not talked about, not a winning electoral strategy, because the message is always centered...

This is minor but substantial progress. As in it is very small step, but it is a step. But they still frame it as exercise and while the editorial is far more informed about PEM than the paper, this sentence above massively understates the consequences. The disability is so much more invasive...

It's the last great respectable universal belief system. Whereas many beliefs are still OK as long as they are kept private, this is the last one to be publicly approved. Go back a century ago and things like mentalism, hypnosis, telekinesis, ghosts, astrology and so on were very common. There...

I hope for someone's sake that the text you quoted was written by a LLM because even then it would have to be a pretty bad one and that's just embarrassing. Reads like someone imitating human language and failing badly at it.
