„evidence increasingly demonstrates the presence of physical impairments. It is within this biomedical framework—not through outdated psychosomatic paradigms—that meaningful medical advances can be expected. „
The BMJ has published our response to the opinion piece by Miller et al..
“The solution that Miller et al. propose—the interpretation of ME/CFS as "biopsychosocial"—is in fact itself a major burden for ME/CFS sufferers.“
Biopsychosocial approaches to ME/CFS provide neither a cure nor hope.

Reluctance by some to acknowledge the airborne transmission of airborne pathogens, is because of the implications for governments, businesses, and healthcare services: an example being the failure of some to recognize that SARS-CoV-2 transmission is also airborne.

WHO Member Countries Agree to Pandemic Treaty
The World Health Organization finally reached a compromise on a pandemic treaty after three years of talks. The United States withdrew from negotiations after President Trump took office.

It was a mistake to think that once the vulnerable with underlying illnesses ("useless eaters") had been reaped ("the price paid for progress"), the problem would burn itself out without impacting economic productivity.

Many long COVID patients adjust to slim recovery odds as world moves on.

„“You can’t hurry recovery from PEM,” goes the old saying, “no, you just have to wait.”
True, and it’s almost impossible to have „good thoughts“ when you know a crash can lead to a permanent lowered baseline.
