It just never fucking ends. They never accept negative results. There's always dozens and hundreds more variations of the same damn thing to be done. Copy-paste BS.

While millions of lives have gone to waste. Literally millions of lives ruined while this useless wheel of bullshit keeps spinning.

The bullshit this asshole is talking about, the biopsychosocial model, is a political ideology heavily promoted within the medical profession.

It's the main reason why zero progress has been achieved on LC in 5+ years, and in ME/CFS in decades.

The institutions do not serve us. They serve them.

Governments rarely fund dedicated research into specific diseases. Those are mostly funded from public donations.

It is up to patient communities and allies to build the foundations, no one will do this for us.

We have to work around the institutions, all they do is block and delay.

Everything is enshittifying. Even medicine, which is enshittifying faster than just about anything else.

Somehow, all intentional, the product of conscious choices made by experts who have access to data showing them they are wrong.

And it always happens in secret, behind closed doors.

And yet again with Long Covid. The biggest of it all, all completely squandered the exact same way with the exact same outcome.

And we kept being lied to about how this opportunity wouldn't be wasted. Because lies and failure are actually rewarded here. Hard to build a worse system than this.

Every single window of opportunity and line of scientific inquiry to dig deeper in the field of ME/cfs has been squandered, suppressed or sabotaged. I wish saying this was an exaggeration, but unfortunately for us pwME, it is not.

Post hoc "scientific debate" via the medium of journal correspondence changes absolutely nothing.

The key is to publish your absolute drivel in such huge quantity that it cannot be avoided in the literature, and effectively drowns out anyone else.

A few key charlatans worked this out early on.

Ooh it's been a while since I had seen hand-stuck-on-forehead.

The classics are back, baby!

Even though of course they do have a lot of intelligence to them. They employ some of the smartest people around!

And yet they seem completely unable to figure out their way out of a wet paper bag here. There are huge underlying structural, even cultural, problems blocking things.

This is still a research problem. So far there has been very little of it, and most of what little has happened has been mediocre at best.

I've never seen a group of professionals of any size so utterly lost and inept in the face of a problem. It's like those systems have zero intelligence to them.

Something doing a bit of good is good in itself. All that exaggerating those claims does is lower the credibility of expertise.

Medicine has sadly become one of, if not the, biggest producer of health misinformation, simply because of its size and reach.

This is disastrous for public trust.

When you look at the actual evidence, the claims about the health benefits of exercise are some of the most exaggerated out there, to the point of being fraudulent.

The actual evidence is extremely mediocre and unconvincing, but the beliefs somehow still hold.

The massive increase in ME/CFS from Long Covid has completely debunked this, and yet the lie continues to fail miserably.

There is something deeply wrong with a profession refusing to learn and adapt, being so defiantly wrong.

I wish people objected to human slop as much as they do with AI slop.
