Ja, det er rett og slett ikke i overensstemmelse med litteraturen. Utrolig synd at Helsebiblioteket bidrar til å dele feil fakta og holdninger. Norge er blitt et annerledesland der konsensus er preget av et sterkt fagmiljø med overdreven tro på tankens kraft og manglende kunnskap om selve sykdommen.

Jeg har som deg vært forundret over at ikke FHI har fulgt opp her. Har ingen god forklaring. For som du skriver, forskningen er helt klar på at barn rammes av senfølger etter covid, og at vaksinene kan beskytte dem. Tror det handler om innbitthet/vrangvilje/manglende vurdering av litteraturen v/FHI.

Hei @andlon.bsky.social Du har tolket litteraturen rett. Jeg har lenge ment at FHI må endre vaksineanbefalingene, i tråd med det amerikanske legeforeninger og helsemyndigheter (pre-Trump2) anbefaler: Barn, unge+friske voksne må tilbys beskyttelse. Norge har tapt mye mhp muligheter til forebygging.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

Mye tyder på at sars-cov-2-infeksjon sitter i kroppen litt lenger enn den tiden man opplever seg syk med feber/halsvondt osv, fordi viruset kommer seg inn i så mange ulike celletyper. Derfor er det lurt å innstille seg på en akutt fase som varer 3-4 uker selv om symptomene skulle klinge av litt før/

I tried telling this to the producers of #Dax18 when invited to discuss pandemic matters: please invite someone with knowledge to debate with me. But they couldn’t find an expert who disagreed. And that was all they wanted. So instead they, knowingly, invited an “expert” with no clue, who disagreed.

Ja, det er farlig å snakke ut mot dette miljøet. De setter fagfolk og ledere opp mot oss. Men de kan ikke forandre virkeligheten. Kun én fra miljøet var tilstede da ca. 40 forskere på long covid var samlet i Sverige før jul, og hen måtte tåle å høre at det hen påsto ikke var i tråd med forskningen.

Hvorfor kan de ikke være redelige og innrømme at deres hypotese har vist seg å være feil? Hvorfor prøver de ikke å inkorporere etablert kunnskap i hypotesene sine, og heller videreutvikle dem så de er i overensstemmelse med ny forskning? Det er ikke vitenskapelig tankegang. Det er indoktrinering.

Det verste med alt dette, er at fagmiljøet stadig uttaler seg - og skriver - på en måte som innebærer ren og skjær gaslighting av pasienter. Det er ekstremt skadelig. Og skadevirkningene får pasientene skylda for, for de «ønsker ikke å bli friske»! Det gjør meg sint. Det har fått pågå alt for lenge.

Disse legene gjør alt de kan for å overbevise alle som vil lytte til dem - og det er mange. De deler derfor et ansvar. Når det er sagt: jeg påstår at nesten alle de som prøver å lese et par håndfuller artikler om dette emnet, skjønner at det faglige grunnlaget for den artikkelen må være galt.

Det er en svært krevende utfordring at forfatterne tilhører et ganske lukket miljø, utgående fra Norge, der svært høylytte leger forfekter sine egne hypoteser, som i stadig større grad er i konflikt med vitenskap og klinisk erfaring, og anklager alle som protesterer for å drive sabotasje
