Yesterday we did a 1 hour special on Long Covid on Duke’s college radio station, WXDU durham, which included a prerecorded interview with Dr Akiko Iwasaki

We also interviewed Dr Adrian Hernandez live in the studio—he leads 4 NIH-funded LC trials at Duke

I’ll post the recording asap!

Israel claims that it is continuing to bomb Rafah to “promote the release of our hostages” while simultaneously refusing to accept the deal that would release the hostages, making it obvious beyond words that it’s interest is bombing not hostages.

One thing I would have hoped that leftists & libertarians could unite against would be the siccing of riot cops in tactical gear with long guns on students in tents.

That couldn't be the same trial in which some participants were actually 'disabled' enough at baseline for physical function to qualify for trial entry but simultaneously 'recovered' at baseline for the same measure? No investigators could be that stupid and incompetent!!!

Responding to anything Prof Garner says about the fraudulent PACE trial is a waste of time. The PACE team lowered outcome thresholds so participants could be 'recovered' at baseline for physical recovery--and then hid those results. That's research misconduct.

This is so awesome. Utterly unimaginable until recently. And It'sME(Jaime) so totally deserves this. She’s done truly excellent work for years on so many fronts, particular through research and through educating journalists on the science.

Very honored to be included in the TIME 100 list of the most influential people in health, for my role in 'A better booster' #PrimeandSpike 👃🏽 #mucosalimmunity

Grateful to TIME for also mentioning our efforts on #longCOVID #PAIS #MECFS

Expect spin & damage control @ NIH Symposium tomorrow. A likely priority: asserting that effort preference isn't a psych paradigm. Remember that the NIH paper claims that ME is defined by a problem w/ motivation, so pls be careful not to get distracted by shiny objects.

Berkeley's crowdfunding for Trial By Error has gotten 40 donations in its first day. Thanks! crowdfund.berkeley.edu/project/42302

ZonMw, the Dutch funding agency, has published a series of videos on 'Living with ME/CFS.' One of them is about Celine Corsius, who died last year from euthanasia after a long and difficult struggle with severe illness. Lou Corsius

I'm glad to hear that! I haven't had such luck.

Wow, congrats! That is fantastic news!!

All it takes is a healthy-looking person with a stupid smile on their face holding literally *anything* and I’m ready to buy it now like a dog after a chew toy hoping it will make an impact on my health.  And Instagram knows it!  😂

davidtuller Thanks David. I felt so disheartened by Australia’s backward stance on ME/CFS when I read that appalling update I wrote some thoughts of my own. Now I’m thinking I was a little too polite about it considering how angry I felt.

Seems like Australian GPs are still bonafide members of the GET cult. They have apparently learned nothing in recent years and continue to parrot nonsense--and even cite the fraudulent PACE trial as 'evidence' for something. virology.ws/2024/04/25/tri…

I am in the same position, except I worked on a kibbutz after college, and I agree.

I posted this interview with Guardian columnist George Monbiot a week ago. It's gotten almost 5,000 views, which is a lot for me. Here it is again: youtube.com/watch?v=GC5i3v…
