The New Yorker is under attack for irresponsible article on "Long Covid"

Inaccuracies, irresponsible coverage, and conflicts of interest in The New Yorker

Written: 25 Sep 2021 by Rachel Thomas

If you haven’t already read the terrible New Yorker long covid article, I don’t recommend doing so. Here is the letter I sent to the editor. Feel free to reuse or modify as you like. The below are just a subset of the many issues with the article. If you are looking for a good overview of long covid and patient advocacy, please instead read Ed Yong’s Long-Haulers Are Redefining COVID-19 (Aug 2020, I will update if I find something as excellent that is more recent).

Dear New Yorker editors,

I was disturbed by the irresponsible description of a suicide (in violation of journalism guidelines), undisclosed financial conflicts of interest, and omission of relevant medical research and historical context in the article, “The Struggle to Define Long Covid,” by Dhruv Khullar.

We asked GROQ to create a debate about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and AIDS

We asked GROQ to create a debate about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and AIDS. Create a debate between two scientists about whether Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is part of the AIDS epidemic. One scientist think it is and HIV is not the cause of AIDS. The other doesn't think Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is part of the AIDS epidemic and HIV is the cause of AIDS. Moderator: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight, we have the pleasure of hosting a debate between two esteemed scientists, Dr. Maria Rodriguez and Dr. John Lee, on the topic of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and its relation to the AIDS epidemic. Dr. Rodriguez will argue that CFS is part of the AIDS epidemic and that HIV is not the cause of AIDS, while Dr. Lee will argue that CFS is not part of the AIDS epidemic and that HIV is the cause of AIDS. Let's begin with our first speaker, Dr. Rodriguez. Dr. Rodriguez: Thank you, Moderator. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a debilitating condition characterized by persistent fatigue, muscle...

 Source: Groq is Fast AI Inference Construct a debate between two scientists about whether HIV is endogenous. Moderator: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight, we have the pleasure of hosting a debate between two renowned scientists, Dr. Maria Rodriguez, a microbiologist, and Dr. John Lee, a virologist, on the topic of whether HIV is endogenous. Dr. Rodriguez will argue that HIV is endogenous, while Dr. Lee will argue that it is not. Let's begin with our first speaker, Dr. Rodriguez. Dr. Rodriguez: Thank you, Moderator. The evidence suggests that HIV is an endogenous retrovirus, meaning it originated from within the human genome. Studies have shown that the HIV genome is remarkably similar to human endogenous retroviral elements, with many of its genes and regulatory sequences being identical or highly similar to those found in the human genome. This suggests that HIV evolved from a human endogenous retrovirus that was activated and mutated over time. Dr. Lee: I disagree. Whi...

A conversation with Groq about HIV

 Is determining whether a retrovirus is endogenous a fuzzy wuzzy enterprise? The age-old question of retrovirus classification! Determining whether a retrovirus is endogenous or exogenous can be a complex and nuanced process, but it's not necessarily a "fuzzy wuzzy" enterprise. Here's why: Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are retroviruses that have integrated into the host genome and are transmitted vertically, from parent to offspring, through the germline. ERVs are thought to have originated from exogenous retroviruses that infected the host's ancestors and became fixed in the genome over time. To determine whether a retrovirus is endogenous or exogenous, researchers typically follow a stepwise approach: Sequence analysis: The first step is to sequence the retrovirus genome. This can be done using various techniques, such as PCR, Sanger sequencing, or next-generation sequencing (NGS). Genomic context: The sequence is then analyzed to determine its genomic context....

Serious Adverse Events: An Uncensored History of AIDS: Farber, Celia, Miller, Mark Crispin: 9781645022077: Amazon.com: Books   “Farber [is] a lucid and courageous witness to the power-play behind the first ‘scamdemic,’ . . . [Her] work is journalism at its best―solid, lucid, and humane, attacking wrongs that few dare touch, and thereby helping right them.” ―Mark Crispin Miller, bestselling author and professor of media studies at NYU On April 23, 1984, in a packed press conference room in Washington, DC, the secretary of health and human services declared, “The probable cause of AIDS has been found.” By the next day, “probable” had fallen away, and the novel retrovirus later named HIV became forever lodged in global consciousness as “the AIDS virus.” Celia Farber, then an intrepid young reporter for  SPIN  magazine, was the only journalist to question the official narrative and dig into the science of AIDS. She reported on the “evidence” that was being continually cited a...

Follow @HHV6_University Tweet The scientist who deserves a Nobel Prize for his work on HHV-6 and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. https://www.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/news-and-events/news/detail/news/viruses-under-the-microscope/ Viruses Under the Microscope 09/14/2018 Human herpesviruses such as HHV-6 can remain dormant in cells for many years without being noticed. When reactivated, they can cause serious clinical conditions. Researchers from Würzburg have now found a way of differentiating between active and inactive viruses.  Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) infects almost all of the human population, but only very few will show any symptoms during their lifetime: HHV-6 is one of the most widespread viruses among the population. Between 95 and 100 percent of healthy adults have antibodies to the virus which means that they have been infected at some point in the past. The virus hides in t...

Nadler did that at the urging of Charles Ortleb, the publisher and the New York Native and his reporter Neenyah Ostrom. Ortleb and Ostrom had made the case to Nadler that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the virus it had been linked to, HHV-6, were serious public health issues.                                                 In an interview in New York Native with Neenyah Ostrom,Congressman Nadler said, "Congress can mandate research into CFS as a viral disease.
