I think the correct interpretation is this is a jobs program for mediocre researchers who publish useless studies for the sake of publishing...
The results are reliable, but they show no long-term benefit. Up is down. Blue is hot. Or in Sharpe's wizened garbled words: "Well that what was...
Seems to be a quantity over quality empire-building. By publishing many self-reinforcing papers, likely with peers reviewing each others' work,...
Good insight. Co-opting a serious disease that was ambiguous to fabricate a new construct that had no legitimate body of evidence. Devious and...
He does. So does Sharpe. The claims from PACE are both that it is a seminal paper but also just an old piece from 2011 that is not all that...
Most likely only because of the poor criteria of 6 months of unexplained fatigue, which was deliberate blurring. This is also the likely...
But it's still stuck with the paradigm that ME = "chronic fatigue". This is fundamentally wrong and no amount of generous interpretation of intent...

Based on holding strong opinions that align with reality and patient experience. The opposite circumstances are not being honored, though. The...
There are still unqualified appointments who have strong opinions that are detached not only from reality but from the actual descriptions of this...
But the psychosocial members all have strong opinions about this disease not existing in the form that is properly described and experience by...
Do we know if this is from legitimate journalists? As in we remember the debacle from De Monitor which is supposedly genuine journalism but then...
Not even bothering to hide it. Sometimes it feels like the Royal College of Psychiatry is trolling over this. Because if this is truly the best...
Interesting. This has potential. (Also: sci-hub rules) Digestive issues in ME are common but nothing seems to be understood about them. It seems...
And true to form, it is those doing the anti-science denial who control the messaging and make false accusations of anti-science behavior....
I'm really hoping the good psychologists and psychiatrists will see the mounting problems of letting a fringe minority of quacks harming the...
I'm sure he's trying to make a point here but I don't see it. This is incredibly amateur work you'd expect from a first year university student....
