make this a story to shout about - it will make you laugh, cry and read it every bedtime. .
What would the illness be conflicting with?
Isn't this the kind of thing that is the basis for the claim that patients have an organized group indulging in vexatious behaviour toward the PACE authors? To clarify, are they not doing what they complain patients are doing? Making vexatious complaints?So two official or unofficial complaints thus far directly to my University
I can declare my conflicts of Interest here: I'm white, male, a Christian, I like ice cream and movies, I sufffered from headaches and nosebleeds as a kid, sometimes I got the flu....many things happened to me in life, should I list them all?
If @Keith Geraghty is an M.E. sufferer then it can be taken as proven that he's prone to false beliefs. This affects the reliability of his paper, so readers have the right to be informed about it.I want to know the answer to this. I am baffled.
First stop in reading a science paper should always be the methodology section.In the methodology section of the PACE trial paper.
In Dorset. Which is pretty rad for a koala.Conflict of interest declaration - I'm a koala.
Quite so, @alex3619. Whether or not you think this particular statement of the editorial is supported by enough evidence, that's not really the point. The PACE authors have made claims that are way more sweeping and unsubstantiated than this, and never thought fit to correct them.It is not clear that we can prove beyond all doubt that their efforts have resulted in widespread harm. There is good evidence, and we encounter examples frequently even in our own lives, but this is not the kind of proof required in a scientific commentary. However their frequently cavalier treatment of evidence, especially contrary evidence, plus the cavalier attitude toward sound reasoning and sound statistical analysis, make their complaint potentially hypocritical.
Yea, that's an important point, @Keith Geraghty. What I wanted to say is that we're all behind you, we're all equally outraged by the sheer hypocrisy of this!I wish everyone - mostly the PACE authors - remember that I wrote an Editorial first, as Wesssely has done many a time. An Editorial is a commentary of opinion supported by some facts, not a scientific paper presenting data.
Editorials are short, invited opinion pieces that discuss an issue of immediate importance to the translational research community. Editorials should have fewer than 1000 words total, no abstract, a minimal number of references (definitely no more than 5), and no figures or tables (although they do have a photograph of the author as an illustration).
