With Suzanne OāSullivan claiming a ālarge proportionā of #LongCOVID is psychosomatic on the @Amol Rajan podcast, Iām resharing this clip from 2021 of Dr Xand van Tulleken
āYou can always find some doctor, some professor to give a quote to a paper saying itās all psychosomaticā¦ā
She failed to mention that there was serious pushback from ME charities in the UK, including the biggest two, that wrote letters about claims in her 2015 book Itās All in Your Head that #MECFS is psychosomatic.
She also recommends avoiding social media to avoid toxicity. But with a marginalised community like #MECFS social media is often the only way to respond. Avoiding it means avoiding legitimate criticism. There are also very few #MECFS doctors so opposition is limited.
