Great. Another survey study showing the same thing as every other study.

Multiple studies replicate findings. >>"What's the point? We already knew this!"

One study proposes a finding. >>"Sure, but has anyone else been able to confirm this?"

Soon, the NIH will have its groundbreaking study showing Long Covid affects 23-25% of the population, affects mostly women, and those with symptoms.

I don't understand the unfriendly attitude here or the assumption that I don't like science. If you knew the history of the NIH and CDC, then you'd understand.

Just admit you don’t understand how science works.

Whatdya mean? Of course, I do. Scientists have to do similar survey studies to replicate findings even if the same findings have already been found 20 or more times so they can get paid from their universities or governments.

If you think scientists like me are in it for the money, boy do I have news for you. Stick to your anti-work ethic whilst we improve your life for peanuts.

You see, in the real world, scientific theories are tested several times, as repeated outcomes strengthens hypotheses. I’m sure you’re used to just reading random bs on FB just saying something is true, and that’s good enough for you to be fact, but us adults, we appreciate the scientific method and repeated testing for proof.

Nice. Very passive aggressive.

Why do you think I look at FB? I don't think you understand the point I'm making at all.

In most many many fields of science, experiments are never done again to replicate findings. And many times the findings fail to be replicated when it is actually done, sometimes because the same protocol was not followed. And sometimes studies are never replicated but are still taken as fact by governments and institutions.

So, my point is this: why do this survey study when it's been done many, many times with similar findings when it's so trivial (and a waste of resources in my opinion) and when there's a lot more studies that need replication to actually help the people being affected.
