What kind of work he does

I see that some of it's controversial but surely we can say some simple facts about this person's work. Justpasding (talk) 22:47, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ME/CFS and Long Covid

A separate paragraph should set out Sharp's continued and vehement assessment of Long Covid and Me/Cfs as mental illnesses. This contradicts the international state of research, harms the patient because it propagates false healing approaches, but helps the international health insurance companies, which are often exempt from the obligation to provide benefits when a mental illness is diagnosed. There is speculation in much of the media about that. 194.118.242.3 (talk) 14:36, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree his controversial work should be mentioned, but the controversy itself might be more appropriate on the entries about those illnesses. Justpasding (talk) 23:04, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
