Halycon asks, 'why do people publish sub standard drivel?'
The simple answer is it's because it's easy to pick on defenseless people with no health and no money to mount any counter claim. People who can't get in the public eye due to who influences, controls and owns the press and who is linked to the government.
A more complex answer now follows:
In the UK we see the same thing over and over with 'CFS' being promoted in the press as the reserve of middle class white people. Alleged worried white people who call into BBC Radio about their tired daughter who is missing their clarinet lessons at boarding school. Before this, we had GWS ex army who are not ill at all but said to have 'battle fatigue' seen 100's of years ago. Or we have neurologically damaged folk, exposed to sheep dip who are deluded. (Except this trash talking about doubts over Sheep Dip causing 'ME' type illness has now been proven to have been covered up by the British Government, who were told to actively conceal the truth to the British public).

For CFS to be ME, you need a ring leader as victim and other victims as the followers of the new prophet, who professes to be very clever, and devoted to 'helping patients', who are 'stuck' in their way of thinking.
So you need masters at deception (due to being sociopaths and having no guilt over their actions). The types are employed to cast doubt on the legitimacy of ME, by using CFS, which never needs to be proven to exist. This means the situation of no effective treatment never has to change for ME, meaning anyone with dirty hands, never needs to be exposed and serve possible criminal justice (such as infecting the public with pathogens due to a lab accident or possible biowarfare experiment - or both). 'ME' infamously appeared in Hospital staff in the 1950's.
By coincidence or not, documents from the 1950's in America, still redacted but available to the public, prove, that children and hospital workers were purposely infected with pathogens by the US Govt, even the immune suppressed (children are by nature immune suppressed). The names of the pathogens, of course, remain classified. Thus there is no proof, and the infected people, die off. That's how you erase a problem. Silence.
The cause of ME remains unproven, due to ME patients being rarely researched, and never researched in its severest form with proven neurological conditions (such as POTS, Epilepsy, GH deficiency) because these effects of 'ME' get you removed from CFS diagnostic criteria at a research level. That is very important to remember, when considering why no one ever finds anything huge of a neurological level, in 'CFS/ME' patients. (e.g. Severe autonomic dysfunction is huge in terms of it devastating patients lives, but POTS is NOT associated to CFS
officially, even if it is not uncommon in severe PWME and well known at a research levels to be associated with 'CFS').
POTS on NHS Choices web page (
Nothing about ME or CFS is mentioned!).
http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/postural-tachycardia-syndrome/Pages/Introduction.aspx
By the NHS not revealing POTS is found in ME/CFS 'no evidence' exists that 'CFS' or 'ME' is neurological, and denying ME CFS remains simple, due to the CFS/ME NICE Guidelines not requiring a TILT test for POTS. Conversely, not telling the public on the NHS Choices CFS page (ME page is not permitted), that CFS is associated to POTS - a proven neurological syndrome is a direct deception of the general public and of course, clueless or biased journalists.
A benefit for the state regarding neurological severe ME of the 1969's to 1990's (infected kids), is the patients grow old and die, which means no one can sue for damages against the NHS or other state body and their careers as professional vocal skeptics are not laughed at in the future.
Away from the press, medical journals and websites also have deep seated interests and are paid off to keep the status quo, because their job is to influence joe public, to prevent the above ever happening - realization by the public of what has happened to the people who suffer or who have died from ME. The public would understand this is a scandal and revolt. Revolt by various means, one of which is to change voting tactics at the next election if a certain government proven to be involved in the conspiracy to hide ME, was exposed.
It is of paramount importance when a potential heinous criminal act has been carried out by a state employee on a grand scale (such as infecting tens of millions of people), that the people targeted are disbelieved and blamed for their own suffering. Focus is then drawn away on the people who caused this.
For this, you need skeptics and of course, psychiatry when dealing with a medical problem. Psychiatry attempts to explain the unexplained, by not having to use a variable that needs to ever be proven (non science). Thus, you can claim legitimacy of your unproven theory, to suggest that the suffering of ME patients is not due to an infection, not due to an autoinflammatory state, and certainly nothing that is life threatening or even fatal disease in some cases. Instead, as the under pressure disease skeptic you can claim to be the victim
yourself, and the patients you are killing off indirectly (by spreading doubt about their legitimacy),
they are the psycho's.
For that, you need the press and links to the press. The press are owned by corporations, corporations who fund governments, to keep them in power by controlling what the public know and read. They are all linked, indirectly and directly. This system of control can never be defeated in a modern western democracy, because of how parties need to raise masses of money, to get 'visible' on the political sphere, to get voted into power.
Even if only 0.1% of people with 'CFS' were one-day proven to have a genuine unexplained infection not yet discovered by science and 99.9% really are hysterical, if this infection is caused by man, caused by people with lots of money to lose if exposed then it's very simple to influence people to write trash articles in the press about crazy conspiracy theorist patients, and even produce polite worded 'research' proclaiming they are all insane and all universally have mental illness but are just in denial. All in the best taste of course, by making sure with every article written, you are the victim, not the patient and not the families of patients who have often, sacrificed their own freedoms (have to stop working and so become impoverished), to look after their disabled children.
It's really the oldest trick in the book, the same idea as a thief breaking into your home and accusing
you of robing it.
People then look elsewhere, not seeing the perpetrator is hiding out in the open. NB: The best place to 'hide' is a visible place), as then you will likely never be 'found'. Look at what has happened in the British sexual abuse cases, top brasses all involved in an incestuous web of lies and criminal activity, but no one is charged, because to charge them brings
shame on the establishment of old, and the current sitting government who fear losing votes if they are allied to them in any way at all.
It's been done to so many people in the past with neurological diseases, such as Parkinson's and MS. Currently it's ME and Lyme patients who bear the biggest burden of disinformation and misinformation about their life crippling conditions.
CFS as a neuro disease as bad as MS is certainly 'out there' in terms of a genuine belief for the average doctor. So, thus, the level of rejection of neurological damage in ME (as Chronic Fatigue) is unquestioned and rejection of what the patients
experience at ground level (in terms of medial hatred against patients) is not monitored by the UK press standards commission who don't give two hoots what respected people have to say about disabled people with no voice.
This means how much folk can joke about people with alleged infections (said to be self caused - behavioral - or exclusionary - mental health, is unlimited. Over the decades few with good intentions now believe in ME and most believe that ME is CFS, and certainly not a chronic potentially fatal disease. In fact, doctors would laugh out loud at that idea, because they see and hear the word 'Fatigue'.
This natural human emotion of skepticism of the legitimacy of ME suffering, however, can be manipulated into more than that (as we all know who have a long term ME or PVFS diagnosis that became CFS, that became chronic fatigue, that became it must be imagined). For that, you need to see the weak and vulnerable patient cannot defend themselves. For this you need tactics and know how and when to deploy them (a military background is best), as the military are expert tacticians. In-fact, mixing military with psychology would probably be best to pull of a massive ruse.
Tactics are employed against determining the ME patients and unquestioned by ethics committees. Away from ,E, exploiting an exploitable situation wherever possible will be carried out for eternity be it against the disabled, or against other minorities such political, religious, racial and sexual. It's like taking candy for a baby.
Using the media to spread disbelief is very powerful. If you know powerful people with connections and money. Online disinformation becomes an unchallenged monopoly on trickery if you know what you're doing. Which of course, those who do this for their jobs, do know. Hence they are rewarded to dis inform.
How did this all happen and how is it maintained?
Prevention of medical treatment in ME (as CFS) requires denial. Ending denial of ME, requires change:
To stop change, you need to continue unchallenged you would allow and ignore 'respected people' trash talking against PWME (as CFS). You'd make sure you'd never......
1) Alter the case definition of Fukuca CFS away from neurological ME. (Gov't won't allow it and want CFS as ME/CFS requiring no evidence of organic disease). Despite current leaps in medical research for 'CFS', Govt ignored the top level ME researchers, and produced the insufficient
symptom based SEID, that is sub standard and non scientific. Naturally to pull this off, you had to get all the 'pro ME' doctors out the way first, which is precisely what happened. The P2P is just the icing on the cake....
You'd make sure you'd never.....
2) Require organic disease evidence at time of diagnosis (Gov't won't allow it).
3) Allowing appropriate levels of research funding to now research the actual diseased group of patients, rather than mixture of people with a plethora of complaints (some real some imagined) and non proven to be there at the time of diagnosis anyway (win win situation for the state), thanks to Fukuda CFS criteria.
You'd make sure you'd never stop....
4) Doctors, the press and wider public discriminating against those with ME or CFS. This won't happen, due to no 'proof' ME/CFS exists, due to Fukuda CFS criteria. Thus those who are biggoted against ME patients, can excuse themselves as being simply 'inquisitive' if the ME patients
really is as sick as they say they are.
Thus, it's in the Govt's interest to allow influential people (including journalists) to slag off ME forever, and never research ME because ME CFS
isn't what stops them from going to sleep at night. It's the millions of deaths, from cancer, potentially caused by their own cancer research of the past that mixed human and animal cells, that were inhaled by scientists and taken out into the public, unwittingly.
How do you tell the public that? You don't.
If you stay silent, then you will kill off all the 'old' ME patients, in time. And those left, will be a much lower percentage as those who were most sick, got sick as children, never had sex and certainly didn't have children and died, thus not spreading their condition further.
Thus the promotion of trash talking against ME sufferers, by odd people is paramount.
It's call disinformation. All governments do it.
