#MEAwarenessMonth - Day 4 1989, Dr Simon Wessely proposes a new theory: ME patients aren't ill but are unfit and have a fear of activity. He recommends CBT to change beliefs and graded exercise to restore fitness — this model shaped decades of harmful treatment.

This is just abhorrent abandonment of science, they will be responsible for actual physical harm and suffering if it somehow gets passed 😡

David Putrino is a leading researcher and he believes long covid will become a national epidemic. I think he’s absolutely 💯 correct. ny1.com/nyc/all-boro...

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

"The government has expressed alarm at a rapid rise in the number of children out of school since the pandemic and is keen to get them back in class. But parents are deeply frustrated that there is no recognition that many are sick with long COVID."

On 15 March 1939 Hitler and his deputy summoned the Czech President to Hitler’s residence in Berlin and then bullied him to submitting to a German invasion of his country. They drove him to the point of physical collapse, threatening him until he eventually signed his country’s death warrant.

Vaccines work. Masks work. Lockdowns are sometimes necessary. Access to affordable healthcare/medicines is a human right. Immigrants are generally an asset. Equality/Diversity/Inclusion policies are a good idea. Abortion is sometimes needed to save life. Keep saying these things. Truth is important.

No, SARS-CoV-2 isn’t a little bit airborne. It’s not “situationally” airborne. It’s an AIRBORNE VIRUS, spreads via the air. I’m granting an amnesty on people who said (5y ago) that it wasn’t. I won’t say I told you so if you finally acknowledge the evidence. Let’s just get this right and move on.

When they finally admitted it was their fault (we have the emails) they eventually corrected it - and used that as an excuse to add a notice of correction to our letter (but not the response, whose title also changed), worded as if it might have been our fault. What a convenient...accident... 🤔

Someone should probably tell UKHSA, Eric...🙄 Our acceptance of kids becoming repeatedly infected in the UK when there's such an excellent vaccine available continues to be one of the biggest mistakes of the UK COVID response.
