    NIH: Accelerating Research on ME/CFS meeting, 4th and 5th April 2019

    Worked for a few minutes, for me, then stopped cold. Tried two different browsers. When I refresh it brings up a shot that seems current but there's no sound or playback.

    Carol Monaghan asks question of Prime Minister in PM’s questions today 27th March

    And just like that, May has committed to stepping down if her Brexit plan is approved. So, without bringing politics into this, and understanding priorities, such as they are...well, I never have expectations when it comes to this sort of thing, although Monaghan has been tremendous. But I...

    Steve Brine Health minister resigns

    He employed the 'we don't get applications, if we do we'll fund good ones' shuffle at Monaghan's ME debate, right? Anyone who uses that without acknowledging that researchers don't bother because of the history of turndowns is full of it. I remember Susan Mayer spouting that stuff.

    Special Report - Online activists are silencing us, scientists say Reuters March 2019

    He's dismissed those as being the product of pressure from activists and activism, unambiguously stating that they are political, not scientific documents. This is a stance I hadn't previously seen anyone take except for Edward Shorter (and his piece on the IOM Report was so scathing that even...

    USA: URGENT ADVOCACY ACTION! House FY20 Funding Requests

    I'm sorry...is there a reason why we would want the CFS group at CDC to have more money?

    Threats, cyber-bullying now targeting scientists who study Chronic Fatigue Syndrome… when will free speech about science be allowed to exist again?

    This was their reaction to the XMRV study in Science, a few days after it was published when this was, let's just say, an extreme reaction.

    Michael Sharpe on Radio 4 Today / Tom Feilden BBC (18th march 2019)

    He claims the results have been replicated. Considering what the NIH had to say about the Oxford Criteria...I would question what good that replication amounts to. Besides a lot of wasted money, of course.

    Rod Liddle in the Times: "Always fatigued — yet they never tire of claiming their malady really is a virus"

    I think there's something of an ideological bent to it also. I mean, there is the issue of who represents or consults with insurance companies, a byproduct of which is that it saves that industry great sums of money. Of course, that's difficult to properly articulate without making it sound like...

    Special Report - Online activists are silencing us, scientists say Reuters March 2019

    Is it me, or are these people becoming unglued before our very eyes? Simon, however, remains cool as a cucumber:

    Rod Liddle in the Times: "Always fatigued — yet they never tire of claiming their malady really is a virus"

    I'd put this in a different section, like Advocacy Alerts, or something, but outside of 'ignore this' I'm not sure what action the alert would entail. A lot of people probably should avoid this, as this guy is, along with Edward Shorter, arguably the most abrasive pundit who's ever written a...

    Special Report - Online activists are silencing us, scientists say Reuters March 2019

    That applies with a ton of what we have to try to get across to people in some kind of coherent fashion, and we're rarely successful, because they have to pay attention, they have to want to absorb what it is we're telling/showing them, and they have to find a way to not automatically classify...

    CORRESPONDENCE The PACE trial of treatments for chronic fatigue syndrome: a response to WILSHIRE et al (2019) Sharpe, Goldsmith & Chalder

    I don't know..."CFS" may not have been well known, but it was only three years from the US CDC Holmes criteria to Sharpe's Oxford criteria. I can't remember where or when but I have heard that either Wessely, people in his orbit, or both, were in touch with Stephen Straus (and perhaps others...
