Someone in your circles mentioning the shitty Wired article on Long COVID?
One of the experts quoted by the Wired article found the article so error-riddled that they wrote this rebuttal: https://www.longcovidadvoc.com/post/commentary-on-the-long-covid-article-by-alan-levinovitz-in-wired-magazine
Beyond an accurate rebuttal listing factual evidence against the Wired article's gist, the rebuttal also gives some excellent context for why the original piece took that shape:
remember, the author is a professor of religion
Overall, A+ article, recommend for anyone seeking actual information or needing a reference against harmful suggestions like CBT and GET/Graded Exercise Therapy.

On its 13-year anniversary, just plugging my paper, "Reporting of Harms Associated with #GradedExerciseTherapy and #CognitiveBehaviouralTherapy in #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis/#ChronicFatigueSyndrome
Points raised are still very relevant now; if graded exercise/activity approaches are seen as safe, it's quite possible pressure could be put on some patients to undertake them.

"Prof Steve Griffin...said the study suggests “the approach to treating conditions such as #longCovid, ME & #CFS [#myalgicencephalomyelitis & #chronicfatiguesyndrome] using #gradedexercise regimens is entirely flawed. Moreover, it appears over-exercising under these circumstances is actually directly damaging”

I found the "research" this is based on. It's from 2009 and assumes that CBT and #GradedExercise work. So the approach it incentives is "push through the fatigue and live a 'normal life' and you'll be happier".
Of course we know that that is actively harmful to people with #mecfs and leads to long-term worsening of our condition.
How is this still in use? (Rhetorical question.)

“This has been compounded by a lack of effective treatments, wide variation in access to services, and no central register of harms experienced by patients from the treatments offered, which has served only to further alienate many people with ME/CFS and, in some cases, to undermine the confidence of those caring for them”
Tom: Great to see this. I first mentioned central register point in a published letter in 2010

CW: ME/CFS Long Covid treatment controversy
Those concerned about appropriate treatment for sufferers of #LongCovid and #MECFS are likely to be interested in this refutation of the fightback by those who were pushing failed #GradedExercise therapy. https://thesciencebit.net/2023/01/10/eight-or-more-logical-fallacies-in-that-paper-bemoaning-the-new-nice-guideline-for-me-cfs/
