1/5-The MECFS community needs to reach out to the renown virologists who have spoken about their prolonged battles with COVID-19. Professor Paul Garner is . So too are Dr. Piot + Dr. Lipkin. As much as it pains me to say this, CG should receive an invite as well. No censorship.

2/5- Lets see what a GET/CBT like Clare Gerada, will say to Dr. Garner, who has apologized to the MECFS community for doubting their experience. Let’s see what she will do when confronted by Dr. Piot who recently put what he called “expert experience” on par with science.

3/5- Now is the perfect time to prove to the Cochrane cohort that our illness manifests itself in biophysical roots. Put the psychosocial babble to rest once and for all. Will CG change her tune when faced with “expert experience” from those she considers academically equal?

5/5- Professor Garner is the . He is the best chance we have right now to advocate on our behalf. To secure funding for further research, the research we need to study not just our symptoms, but rather, the causation + course of our illnesses. Not the specific - THE PATTERN!
