So I’ve been asked about my plans after June 30th, which is the end of the period covered by last year’s crowdfunding campaign. There’s been significant progress since I launched that effort. Among other developments, the CDC dropped its recommendations for CBT and GET, NICE decided to withdraw its preliminary reaffirmation of its disastrous 2007 guidance and pursue a full overhaul, and Scottish National Party MP Carol Monaghan recently held a groundbreaking parliamentary hearing about PACE.

In regards to the latter, it is awesome that a government official in a position of authority has noted publicly that PACE “will become known as one of the biggest medical scandals of the 21st century.” (Personally, I’d say PACE is on track to become one of the biggest scandals of the current millennium, even though the current millennium is less than 20 years old.) In reporting on MP Monaghan’s efforts, The National, a Scottish daily newspaper, noted the following: “After campaigners went to court to force researchers to release the raw data, that study, known as the PACE trial, has been discredited.”

Will start saving my pennies immediately.

When I published my big PACE investigation in October, 2015...

I can't believe it was that long ago, but also, it feels like a life-time.

When it came out I was aware of how connected Wessely was, and that many in the UK Establishment were committed to defending PACE - but I've still been shocked at the lengths and tactics that they've been willing to stoop to.

Shouldn't QMUL be paying for Tuller's work by now?! If it wasn't for him they'd never have realised how badly their systems had failed.
 
Excellent news @dave30th. Your work is obviously of huge value in its own right, but I also believe it is contributing indirectly to some of the other important advocacy endeavours - informing, encouraging and enabling them. There is a real groundswell of change getting underway now, and I suspect it might not be happening were it not for you. I appreciate of course that you are strongly supported by other great advocates as well, but the way you pull it all together and present it is superb, and highly effective. This of course is a crucial time where we must keep piling on the pressure, which is why it is so great you are continuing your efforts. Sincere thanks.

In theory but they don't want to know that they have failed, they want to pretend they are right and were all along, admitting failure is not an option to them :emoji_face_palm:

They have to protect their reputation and their people at any cost because their reputation and more importantly power/cognitive dissonance is at stake.
 
Thanks for your efforts over the years @dave30th.
Earlier in 2015 I was coming up for my biannual review of my disability pension provided through my income protection insurance. I knew the specialist I needed a report from was keen on me trying CBT and GET due to the PACE trial and I felt strongly that they weren't the answer for me. But at that time it was hard to find a document that outlined the problems and I didn't have a clear enough picture in my own mind to have any chance of arguing my point in the grips of the brain fog that engulfs me in such situations. So I decided I needed to write my own analysis of PACE that would both clarify things on my mind and provide something I could give to the specialist and my GP. My GP liked it, it seemed to get the specialist to understand my viewpoint somewhat (but he wasn't totally convinced) and it certainly clarified things for me. Then a few months later your first Trial by Error post appeared and you said it all so much better and more powerfully than I could. Thanks so much for the changes you have wrought and thanks for planning to continue.
