CDC responds to false SMC factsheet claim

Would be interesting to find out if they alerted any Journalists who relied on their factsheet for copy. It's usually considered standard to describe what has been updated and why.

 

Original

Revised

Other great moments in backtracking...

 

This is such a huge change!

 

and should be seen as evidence...of something...possibly, a deliberately attempting to cause harm, to people, for the purposes of profit, although not necessarily their own, which was modified only when they realised they were no longer totally in charge. IMO these people should be, if not imprisoned, then at least fined into their organisations bankruptcy, and barred from holding positions in healthcare or publishing.

But...no one cares, in the UK, what is done to ill and disabled people, in fact the worse the behaviour it seems the more it is tacitly accepted and encouraged, provided the wrong sort of public/press attention isn't attracted.

 

Yes @Wonko, you say it.

 

Excellent work Robert1973, thanks!

 

Right, I've thought of drawing up a PACE/CBT/GET "dictionary" of terms and phrases that mean things other than what they mean in standard English. As in accusing other of "tweaking" the recovery criteria when these supposed "tweakers" were just untweaking what the PACE team unacceptably tweaked themselves in the first place. Or their definition of "recovery" is actually "remission." Etc.

 

That would be a great article

 

I see that the Countess of Mar has now reported the SMC to the charities commission. Minutes of the last Forward ME meeting state:

Reply from the CDC CFS Program:
“The CDC CFS program did not have correspondence with the SMC.”

 

That's interesting. Thanks Robert. Weird that this was the only line they corrected.
