9️⃣ We know that the Long Covid & ME research fields have a disproportionate number of problematic trials that veer into harm. We know exercise & the Lightning Process interventions pass through ethics. We need our gatekeepers to not pass the burden to vulnerable patients.

Just heard the news that the MAGA and MAHA hero Martin Kulldorff, one of RFK Jr’s key henchmen in the push to roll back vaccination, has been appointed to HHS. Lord help us 😢
RFK Jr & his loyal henchmen (the Great Barrington Declaration dudes Jay Bhattacharya & Martin Kulldorff; Martin Makary; Dr Oz; Vinay Prasad) have been successfully dismantling the US vaccination system & achieved the return of deadly vaccine preventable diseases.

Great article, well worth a read.

Long Covid is definitely not so much a journey as an abduction or a forced march.

Though saying that, anyone trying to get me to do a forced march right now would quickly realise their mistake.
Opinion piece on the word "journey" as a problematic euphemism for #chronicillness.

He's a completely unhinged and dangerous dickhead... Just like the POTUS who appointed him.

I have come to realise that America is in the throes of democratic death....

Watching a once decent people committing suicide in real time is ugly.

I expect zero accountability

It’s really disgraceful the way the British Medical Establishment has weaponised the biopsychosocial model worldwide. I apologise for my fellow citizens.

Here’s my cartoon for this week attacking the BMA on this issue.

3/5

my first 0.5mg of Naltrexone tonight. 😁

0.5mg for 7 days
1.0mg for 7 days
1.5mg for 7 days
2mg for 7 days
3mg for 7 days
4mg for 7 days
And finally 4.5mg for ever, possibly, maybe, if it helps.

They say I should start to feel the effects after 4-6 weeks, with full effect around 12 weeks.
