said,"I’ve got to look up Max Taquet papers."
When you do remember it was a six month study posted this month. Which is long before the new reports giving a relation ship between covid and passing the blood brain barrier posted in January of 2021 by Eric Song which SEEMS like a good study.
The paper on the 6-month neurological and psychiatric outcomes in 236 379 survivors of COVID-19: a retrospective cohort study using electronic health records"
Simply click on Maxime name in the study. he has newer papers which are similar and more inline with this study. which he started those studies AFTER he started this major story. in other words someone likely gave him those papers after he agreed to do the paper.

The Taquet paper suffers from the flaws of data dredging. Matched controls, not randomized, double-blind. “Our primary cohort comprised patients who had a COVID-19 diagnosis; one matched control cohort included patients diagnosed with influenza, and the other matched control cohort included patients diagnosed with any respiratory tract infection including influenza in the same period. Patients with a diagnosis of COVID-19 or a positive test for SARS-CoV-2 were excluded from the control cohorts.”
The matched did not have covid+ diagnosis/test —automatically this may impact the patient’s metal health. Bias. The covid patients had covid+ diagnosis/test, impacting their mental health (FEAR!!!). Imagine all the stessed out treaters, family members, society pounding this home with masks and suits. Also, the covid+ patients were incentivized in the US to be diagnosed with covid and go on vent. Vent will generate a systemic inflammatory response (along with the underlying disease) worsening outcome. So worse outcomes, mentally.
I could go on and pick at this, but hopefully my point is made. The data are biased from the getgo.
I don’t doubt that the rona patients had ‘worser’ mental health outcomes. The outcomes cannot be attributed to the virus alone.
Thanks. Not sure how much I’ll understand, but I’ll try.
