Great work! Just wanted to let you know that at 4:50, Dr. Paul Cheyney is not the correct spelling. His name is Cheney.

Thanks. Unfortunately I can’t amend the video. Will fix the no music version.

Excellent! Thank you so very much @Adam pwme. I hope your excellent videos find their way to the powers-that-be who need to have their eyes opened to the harm done by PACE and its supporters.

Thank you so much @Adam pwme and congratulations for these great videos. I see them as perfectly complementary: Your previous "moving the goalposts" video showed the scientific flaws of the Pace Trial, and this one shows its humanistic flaws - the harm indeed. Also I very much like how this video kills two birds with one stone: Criticizing the Pace Trial while bringing into focus the essence of this illness. All the quotes in that respect are very well chosen (among others I liked the so simple yet so categorical way Dr Chia says, «One of the first things us physicians should do is stop telling the patients to go exercise. This is one disease you can not exercise»)

You are very good at this @Adam pwme. You have the crucial knack of of omitting distracting, less important material, so that the high priority messages you do want to get across, come across loud, clear, and above all very concisely. Really good.

Thanks @Chris

Thanks @Barry I try and aim at people with no knowledge of ME. I found it all so overwhelming when I read about it at first.

That's a very good audience to aim for. Especially those who maybe have no particular interest in it even, and will have a very low boredom threshold on it. Short, sweet, punchy messages like you are doing here just might pique their curiosity enough to enquire a bit further.

I think it’s very good for education of people with ME who aren’t well informed about the politics.

Definitely, it was quite a while before I became aware.

I realise another benefit. Actually hearing MS speak. Something that all these high profile BPS researchers seem to share in common - MS, SW, EC - is an extremely convincing way of speaking, they sound so genuine, so sincere. Their ability to win people over just by this alone should not be underestimated. So hearing one of them speak some of their oh-so-convincing rhetoric, and the flaws in what they said then immediately being countered, may help some people to realise the convincing manner may not be what it seems.
