    As he has cropped up in another thread, thought I would post Jerome's write-up about the release and initial re-analysis of the PACE data. Just to emphasise, this is from 2016.

    Good to see that genuine investigative journalism not totally dead in the UK, or at least not in 2016. I bet that piece didn't come via the SMC.

    David T and Jerome combined would be the 'Dream Team'!

    I can honestly say, Jerome is both really interested and truely interdependent thinking! He first wrote on the ME situation in the late 1990's early 2000, Wessley and Hooper!

    'For ME sufferers, the bitter feud between the scientists as to whether it is a genuine physical complaint, or more a disease of the mind, has only added to the dispiriting nature of their ailment. After all, if even the experts don't know what's wrong with them, what hope is there? Jerome Burne meets the warring parties - and finds that, at last, they're discovering some common ground.'
