Capita are a private company who are under contract to assess claims for state social security benefits (“welfare”) by the UK government on their behalf. That’s basically it, and that’s why Capita were taken to court and not the government, if that’s what you were wondering?

It’s a pity for Camarata that Sharpe’s latest article in the Observer didn’t come out before he wrote his article. He could have referenced that a few times as well.

Emails between Tovey and the authors were accessed under Norwegian transparency law and the same can be done for communications between the new editor and and the authors. If Cochrane backtrack under pressure Sharpe will think he’s won the fight but he won’t have, he will just have delayed the...

Further to the point Frances Ryan makes in her tweet about The Observer editors, the Observer has its own twitter account @ObserverUK. People tweeting might want to use both guardian and observer tags. Edit fixed typo in FR’s name

‘I have the sole-lution toe to everything.’ He’d say, archly. To comment a little further I Don’t know Wessley, obviously, but to saying that psychiatry is at the centre of medicine makes me think well he would say that wouldn’t he. Just Coincidentally he’s at the heart of (uk) psychiatry.

Jonathan Edwards expressed concern about this earlier in the thread (mentioned twice, I think?). If my memory's right. Does anyone know if CCI surgery is done much on children? (thinking of how children grow and the rigid metal structure that's implanted)

Thanks for the link @rvallee. An S4ME response is a good idea, imo. I hope others respond too, it would be great if academics who aren't patients did.

@rvallee are you able to provide a link to some of these responses?

I remember once (from experience, can't verify, don't remember detail v. well) that what was thought to be a sufficient vaccination schedule wasn't - there was an outbreak of one of the MMR infections when my older children were at junior school/early teens so they all needed an additional jab...

The author's had until today to amend the review, so my interpretation is that the publication is intended for some unspecified date in the future if/when it passes peer review, or editorial review.

@Tilly I don't want to take the thread too far off topic but I read the article at The Eagle online (university newspaper staffed by students) which as you quoted says I followed the links - the one embedded in the word 'suspect' leads to The Washington City online newspaper article titled...
