And a lot more than money. Just as important, and sometimes more so, are power, status, reputation, face-saving, etc. Though a well above average income is always a powerful motivator too.

And the robust evidence for that (particularly for ME/CFS v. PTSD), including effect sizes and genetic commonalities, is...? Also, if it is "often" not always, then that alleged feature is not cardinal, and could just as easily be a misinterpretation, based on superficial similarities arising...

And behave very much like a cult.

And yet the threat of these accusations and their appalling real world consequences continues on to this day. Their words are hollow, insulting, and cruel. And utterly gutless. It is beyond dispute that the profession, in cahoots with government, is completely incapable of facing up to the...
