OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE I thought we had gained him to our side. Oh my god. For fuck's sake.

Oh my god just fucking accept that some disabled people are too unwell to work, and give us the financial support that we need.

'Pants' means different things in different countries, do you mean trousers or underwear?

Two questions: (1) Does the DWP accept reports from private consultants as medical evidence? I mean like, will they be snobby about it and not take it seriously if it's not from the NHS? (2) Do they usually contact your GP? I've had very little contact with GP in last few years, and when I...

I can't remember sorry.

I think they have, sorry. I got really excited a couple of years ago about a supposedly imminent breakthrough... Did not happen.

Regarding Davis apparently saying that he thinks ME is autoimmune: remember, this was not a direct quotation. It's the journalist''s indirect reporting of what they think RD said. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a misunderstanding.

Re the bit about sleep, they were talking about day-night reversal, so I read it as saying that he only sleeps 2 hours at night, and sleeps the rest during the day.

Yes, but, from my previous attempts to ask around the community about this, it seems that those of us who experience this split are a minority.

Whitney Dafoe keeps dropping hints that he has inside knowledge indicating that a big breakthrough is coming soon. Forgive me for being cynical, but OMF have been saying "big breakthrough hopefully coming soon" for several years.

Oh also, Charles Shepherd has said that the people who've been contacting the ME Association for advice about post covid fatigue are mostly aged 20s and 30s.

I've just been talking to @lunarainbows about this topic, and thought it worth pasting some of our conversation here: Me: I was surprised because I read that long covid is more prevalent in older people than younger people. HOWEVER there do seem to be different types of long covid, so I wonder...

@Snow Leopard thanks, I have some more questions: (1) are they going to continue using the rest of the Pfizer vaccine doses that the UK ordered from Pfizer? (2) You said that you suspect that if they end up re-vaccinating with a more effective one, it won't be until 12+ months down the line...

If people get vaccinated with the Oxford vaccine and it turns out to not be effective enough, can they then get vaccinated with the Pfizer one too?

The UK regulator has now approved the AstraZeneca vaccine. :emoji_confused::emoji_confused::emoji_confused: @Snow Leopard

Apparently it's going to be approved in the UK within days :emoji_confused:

Thanks

I think I read somewhere (can't remember where) that the new variant spreads more easily because less viral load is needed to get ill? Is that true???

Bloody hell this is dystopian stuff!
