Here's a letter to The BMJ seeking a correction in the review of Long Covid interventions. They based their recommendation for rehabilitation on another BMJ study that had already been corrected.

Thanks for standing up for us and for helping to keep wrong information from spreading.
Still no sign of the open peer-reviews. Supposed to take “up to 5 days”:

Do you think it’s worth raising that with the editor too?
as a doctor/scientist it is very clear that such groups should not be mixed - some so ill they were hospitalised vs other who didn't. long covid PEM much higher in the latter. but yes its easier to get cohorts from admission logs.
as someone with covid, its beyond frustrating
