What do aluminium sulfate water poisoning, Gulf War Syndrome, World Trade Centre Syndrome, the neurological disease #ME, the post infection disease(s) #LongCovid and poisoning of Iranian school girls have in common?
A British #psychiatrist claiming ‘mass sociogenic illness’!
1/
2/ Does the psychiatrist, Sir Simon Wessely, project his own catastrophic thinking to all ‘grey’ areas in health science transforming them into black and white?
What cannot be explained immediately can be explained through the old ‘hysteria’ hypothesis?
3/ Thank you @LongCovidAdvoc for this summary on the knighted psychiatrist’s ‘work’!
Despite Wessely repeatedly #blaming media for fueling the affected persons’ ‘mass psychogenic illnesses’ #media has seemingly been satisfied reporting this instead of performing #journalism
4/ Could it be that the thought of the spin doctors in Science Media Centre (SMC) supporting Wessely repulses #investigative#journalism?
Wessely has been on the board of trustees of the SMC
FYI:
SMC’s director Fiona Fox compared last year in her book ME ‘activists’ with nazis
The reason why I tagged NHS England in the below tweet is that they in a press release 9 Jan 2023 told they had appointed Wessely to NHS England Board of Directors
With this guy’s merits through decades…why NOT..? 🫣
Kanskje @Universitetavis kunne tatt opp tråden og luftet studien fra @Griffith_Uni med relevante forskere, om det fins mulighet til å replikere studien?
