The Long Read: Excellent BPS papers

[Jonathan Edwards]

I have been getting suspicious about the poor quality of BPS papers posted on the forum. I can no longer believe that these can be the best BPS papers on ME/CFS or Long Covid or anything else. Illustrious posters like Andy and SNT Gatchaman who have been bombarding us with very bad papers must be sneakily missing out all the very good papers.

Let's face it, can we believe that these are the very best BPS papers of the last seven years on these subjects? Surely not. We need honest scientific debate, with no evidence concealed from the jury's eyes. So this is a very long thread where everyone is invited to post all those really good papers that have been missed out.

Unless of course...

You're obviously all looking in completely the wrong places. I mean, how hard can it be?

Naughty @Trish and her selective citing. She 'forgot' these critical papers:

and, of course, the classic seminal study from Wonky, Shyster, and Nothingtoseehere:

Well, there's this paper that the forum initially missed: Post-Covid-19 Conditions in Children, 2023 by Hahn et al.
with its message of 'Long Covid; nothing important to see here, move along'

The incidence of PCC in this study was strikingly low (0.4%). Most children experienced a resolution of symptoms within 2 weeks of infection. Pre–COVID-19 symptoms were factors in post–COVID-19 symptoms.

Fortunately, there was a retraction notice later on, so that we caught up with it.

Ah, the famous In-fernal Cycle, with all those perpetuating spores...

"Figure 1 illustrates the basic idea of the model."

It's like Silicon Valley tech decks (that's how they're calling Powerpoint presentations these days if you've been out of the loop for a while like me ) but far dumber and far less realistic. Surprised they're resisting the need to put some quantum consciousness in there somewhere. Frankly this diagram is missing at least Napoleon Dynamite and a piece of chewed gum.

Maybe they only exist if you believe in them, so if you don’t demonstrate an effort preference for believing what you’re told over what you’ve experienced, you’ll never see them!

Do you promise that, if I say I don’t believe in them….
