Looks like Cochrane have given in to the external pressure. I'd be amazed if they don't now roll-over for Larun in November. If that review had...
The people appointing the committee need to judge the applicants to the committee - how else do they decided who to choose? It seems that the...
"She found a place to start her recovery at the..." Phrasing like that is a pretty good way of letting us know that they're quacky. A pretty poor...
Yeah, and then they'll be outvoted. I'm not saying they should quit yet, but I think it will be very difficult for them to do much good unless we...
Do we know who was involved in selecting the professional members? Whoever it was seems to fully support the culture of bigotry and quackery that...

[MEDIA] LOL at Sharpe saying 'debate is good'. A few months back he was endorsing the view that debate in the House of Lords was a form of...
It's not been withdrawn yet. Still waiting for an official statement from Cochrane about what's going on.
The fact that Larun's replies were so dire is an important part of the problem!
Maybe he'd prepared a hard-hitting talk about patients rejecting evidence, and misguided criticism of PACE that fails to recognise that Cochrane,...
Great to have over forty good signatories when this must have been pulled together really quick. Thanks so much to the signatories, and of course...
