Haven't read the article yet, but am reminded of the answer Tovey gave to Caroline Struthers: https://healthycontrolblog.wordpress.com/

I'm disappointed with the NYT. They certainly saw how biased this piece is. At least they should have fact-checked the information given about David Tuller who also has written for the NYT: former journalist? Only has a doctoral degree but otherwise not affiliated with the UCB? That's what...

#MEAction's letter to the editor: https://www.meaction.net/2019/03/14/fighting-for-rigorous-science-and-accurate-reporting/

Google showed me results only for the New York Post (not the New York Times) , the St. Louis Post-Dispatch , and Metro (US).

I agree with Trevor Butterworth that this isn't a good tactic. If your are not sure that a source is reliable, better don't use it. This is just the gender specific use of "ad hominem" -- it means better stick to factual arguments instead of targeting/ tracking persons. What's wrong with that...

Some info abot the New York Post (from Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Post )

I don't understand this, what do you mean with "the south west", @chrisb?

So I succeeded in refraining myself from reading the Reuters piece. Anybody saw who the author is? Will try to not further comment the quoted bits (eta: because it would cost me too much energy to do so -- not suggesting it was generally not worthwhile to comment...) For me, it is helpful to...

As if that had been their wording!

Thank you, @dave30th, for bringing this report to light! I wish Cochrane added this report at a prominent place to the review. Have I understood properly that the person in charge of assessing Bob's criticism agreed with all of the key points Bob made? P.S.: Typos in the added update: "That...

Have you seen this thread https://www.s4me.info/threads/me-debate-in-danish-parliament-march-12-2019.7988/#post-149394 @Rick Sanchez ?

Apologies for just popping in. Only was able to skim the thread. Just wanted to say what interests me about Trish's and Keith Geraghty's questioning those MUS numbers. I think it would be an important finding if the numbers of people seeking medical care and being diagnosed with MUS were...

I think there are really not many questionnaires named after a person. I'm only aware of some named after an institution, e.g. DePaul University. :) (I am not able to explain what I'm thinking about this review ATM. Just thought it was time to release this bit from my drafts folder in case it...

Thanks, @andypants !

I lost track of the updates on the Phase III trial results. Did the investigators publish the results yet? I could only find this paper: Rituximab Serum Concentrations and Anti-Rituximab Antibodies During B-Cell Depletion Therapy for Myalgic Encephalopathy/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Rekeland...
