RECOVER is the biggest scam when it comes to research unfortunately. 90% of their studies are focusing on various form of "brain exercises", CBT therapy and exercise therapy. Things that are not only proven to not work, but actually proven to harm people with ME/CFS (of which long covid patients make up a large amount).

They fund and do a lot of work beyond the horrible choices for initial RCTs. This fall we should hopefully see actual pharmaceutical interventions and a plethora of research they’ve been publishing.

The more important parts of their programs are the omics and tissue biopsy programs.

May they hopefully turn the ship…
