Paul Garner on Long Covid and ME/CFS - BMJ articles and other media.

I have just seen a very disturbing post from a Jenny Wilson on Dr HNG's Facebook page:

"Yesterday, I read Prof Paul Garner's tweet that if only Dr Miller had been able to give Maeve CBT she would have lived!
Today he is lecturing at King's College, London.
Here is one of his slides."

He hasn't tweeted that. Let's stick to what he actually says.

There is this comment made by a person that used the name «Paul Garner» that says that improvement and recovery is possible with more holistic approaches, in the context of talking about Maeve’s death.

The reversal is so unconscionable / deluded when they infer that rather than what is enforced on pwme for the last decades is preventing people from avoiding being over exerted and it is that leading to deaths that what people begged for but never got -consideration- is ‘the current norm’ [and lying that they received that ever]

the lack of being able to take responsibility for the consequences of what one sells is a sign of something no one should trust , to evade the truth completely by reversing it no matter how carefully they think they’ve worded it to say it directly but not have to take responsibility that they said it directly … well it’s more if the same issue isn’t it?

I sadly once worked with someone who contacted interpol regarding what they believed to be a fraudulent sick note from an overseas clinic. Their involvement was to very politely tell him this isn’t their remit. I can only hope it gave them a good laugh, I still feel mortified at the thought. Also the sick note was later validated by the High Commission for the country, it wasn’t even fake.

That's what I assume happened, or something like it. They sent an email, and got a reply saying "uh, we'll, uh, send this to the appropriate persons".

This is not Interpol being involved, though. Otherwise it would qualify as having the United Nations involved in a neighbor fence dispute because I got a reply saying this is not what they do but good luck.

He's back!

I believe NICE ME/CFS guidance harms patients with misinformation. Here is one: keeping people with ME/CFS in the dark, implying the condition is permanent, and disallowing brain retraining and cognitive approaches other than helping people cope.

“I believe” does a lot of back covering work here

I don’t understand why someone claiming it’s a belief holds as making anything acceptable because selling a belief system = just another term for propaganda isn’t it?

Would this still apply given he's primarily a researcher/academic and doesn't practice medicine?

It would be symbolic in his case, I admit. But giving out advice to the public may be construed as practicing medicine, especially if you are in the epidemiology/public health field. It might have knock on effects like losing his emeritus status with his university.

He's clearly been editing his Wikipedia page. This should be challenged if anyone is active on Wikipedia?

The section from «over time..» until reference 12 was added by an anonymous user with an IP address that’s located in Manger outside Bergen, Norway. (If you edit anonymously, you’re IP is published. You get a prompt about it when you start editing, so this is public info).

The last section after reference 12 was added by the user Mikehinford, and it’s their only significant edit.
