If they trusted in their own research and the value of this methodology, this would disprove the hypothesis they are working with. If they can show improvements in physical function but no change in those, even though they are circularly defined using symptoms, then they are not causative...

It pretty much was, and if it wasn't, it wouldn't be any different. It's such a perfect failure that it may as well be on purpose, it wouldn't make any difference. The way medicine responded guaranteed this failure, denying reality never works out, and when you're not willing to put any effort...

There is so much worse than absence of evidence, false assertions were made with high confidence. Just the same, the WHO communicated in March 2020 that COVID is not airborne. They even published it as a fact-check, not just asserting that there enough evidence. Even though it made no sense at...

It builds on it.

Different measurement methods? Because otherwise damn what a mess. Actually, what a huge mess either way. This feels like chemistry before they got basic stuff like reliable thermometers with standard scales.

And what the hell is this doing in psychosomatic research? Sleep issues after a viral infection are not freaking psychosomatic. WTH?

Well that's obviously incorrect. You ask, you get answers, this is as simple as that. Not only is it possible, it's even above trivial to the point of being expected. If 29 studies didn't ask you have very deep fundamental issues with the entire discipline doing research on this, but I doubt...

Mostly, and speculatively: yes, very likely so for the most part. Medicine's continued dismissal of the full implications of the germ theory of disease is a tragedy on a massive scale, worsened by having chosen literal fairy tales over simple truths. COVID has blown the whole biopsychosocial...

The hell is this judgmental BS? Not even trying to make sense, says a lot more about whoever did this research than anything to do with the patients.

Which, for all intents and purposes, is the same thing. For all the pretense coming out of medicine about "psychosomatic illness", the vast majority do not give it any respect whatsoever, and no one can tell the difference anyway without a test falsifying it. If only they did it could somehow...

Yeah it's hard to imagine it doesn't at least factor in significantly in attitudes towards patients. That and all the bullying. It could even be the main factor holding the discipline back, especially with the later focus on a holistic that is lacking in basic humanity, and psychology that...

I'm more appalled by the dripping condescension and lack of professionalism, but it probably underlies the rest.

What a terrible way to make decisions. I know I'm an outlier in finding clinical trials to be generally useless, unless they have obvious dramatic benefits, but I don't see how such results can lead to a positive recommendation. It's such a trivial benefit for such a high cost that doesn't even...

Definitely in North America, but some of the campaigns have also used bus stops and other ad spaces in or around mass transit.

There sure is an awful lot of therapist perspective in those patients' perspectives as reported by therapists. The themes are clearly so. It's basically the same old: if professionals tell stories to patients, most patients will believe some of the stories. Does that count as professional...

This after-report is somewhat encouraging and it's nice that this person apologized, but at some point they have to understand that this is a serious behavioral failure and that it needs to be rooted out and fixed entirely. Professionals just don't behave this way, don't think this way. Hell...

Yeah, by free speech, they always mean "our speech".

Let's not be unnecessarily dense. This is not an academic paper and nothing's actually changed for patients, whether us or long haulers.

I just sent them an email.

So still mayhem and nonsense, with no one responsible for anything. Got it.
