Presumably papers like this do not just happen. Some important questions that might be asked are: why was it produced and why now? What tactical imperative does it serve? What would be the process behind the commissioning of such a work and when would it have been initiated? Is it a response to some published work or are they merely trying to get their retaliation in first? Presumably it is not done on the initiative of the BMJ. The authors were presumably funded to do this. Will there be any public record of the source of the funding? Will the answers lie within the Department of Health or elsewhere? It just looks so very odd.

Because that is how the "system" works here
they are all inbred, nepotistic ratpukes who run the UK, they are in secret societies like the Masons etc which they use to pervert the courts, tax laws, etc
those associated with the system are thus protected and encouraged even if they are not part of the "conspiracy"
it's not some dark club of super secret evil, just umpteen cliques and individuals vying for power
one part of it for example is how the politicians AND bureaucrats lust for a bigger "department"
more things they oversee, more money for their budget, more people in their office etc, more they like it,
whether it does any good or not *doesn't matter!*
See, if the System is shown for the bullshit it is...Rome falls,
which they will not allow
this is why they have been so desperate to cling to power, twist elections (exactly HOW did the Tories "win" that election, or the Scottish referendum fail, hm?) etc
if it's shown they are wrong on ME/CFS, and thus huge lawsuits, and criminal investigations, it also threatens the...how can one put it, the psychology that keeps the Elite in power....which they won't allow
and of course, the Elite, being corrupt scum, are also in bed with the insurance companies, who don't' want ot pay out for ME/CFS
and again, you have the grotesque inhumanity of a section of the medical profession who view patients as rodents to experiment and pontificate on, their lust and route for power is not the same as the corporate, the banker or politician, but lies through the "acceptance and kudos of their authority and publications within the health system"
so it's all wrapped up together into a big ball of used toilet paper
oh and to show how crap it's all getting, today dealing with the DWP, their automated telephone system calls all claimants; CUSTOMERS
I am NOT a f'ing CUSTOMER, I am a CITIZEN in this respect, their is a vast terrible difference, and it IS terrible, that's' why they have changed citizen and patient, to "customer"
