So basically there's no point to any of their work and they should pack up and head back to their usual areas
@Gijs?
There is healthy scepticism and then there is bombing everything with a negative napalm. I think this isn't so negative as all that. Nothings perfect, but they are finding out useful information. I don't think that they think Ritux will be some panacea themselves and they basically state this in their talks.
I'd rather wait on the paper before napalming researchers making huge efforts, who work in incredibly ethical fashion and actually seem to be kicking more butt in MECFS than many have thus far! They will be the first to publish a larger cohort of metabolism work too by the sounds of it, and they credit other researchers who have also helped inform their work. I disagree with your assessment.
