Ah, yes, thanks @Simbindi , I see I was looking at a "petition update" page, which by itself isn't very persuasive. I thought it was a second one,...
I'm not sure what the petition is for, apart from venting. It doesn't have a goal like e.g. #ReleaseTheGuidelines based on clear arguments like...
Indeed. I would not call this "opaque". Jonathan Edwards is presented as an expert in clinical trials, and then by (weirdly) placing the word NICE...
"CBT....should only be offered to support patients in dealing with the anxiety of being ill." (Italics mine) If that is what the end text will...

Content Warning: discussing some nasty theories surrounding CBT. If you're not in the mood, just skip. I think I can say something about that....
@Barry , I was just thinking about your "bias-grounded-intervention bias". I'm not sure if the word "bias" is applicable here. The aim is to align...

@Snow Leopard You're trying to makes sense where there isn't any. The point isn't consistency or to express knowledge based on a solid foundation....
Well hello there mr Kendell: [ATTACH] From "Postviral fatigue syndrome: time for a new approach" in the debate section of the BMJ by David,...
There's a LOT that can be said about this paper (and a lot to unpack), so I'm not going into all that now, but I want to make the following...
