Richard Horton: The accusations that are being made about them is that they have behaved unethically, breached international standards of ethics, and indeed in a few examples allegations have been made to professional authorities, the General Medical Council here in the UK, about the work of these scientists, on the basis of the flimsiest and most unfair allegations. And indeed the study cost 4-million pounds to undertake but the allegations and the freedom of information requests and the legal fees that have been wrapped up over the years because of these vexatious claims has added another 750,000 pounds of taxpayers' money to the conduct of this study.
...in case anyone is wondering where I got the 750,000 figure from it is from here:

...and that was in 2011 !
so unless that was an exaggeration or bald-faced lie for the purposes of 'extremist' propaganda they will have spent A LOT more than that fighting further FOI requests
which reaches the unreasonable and deterrent price of£450!estimated cost of one person spending 18 hours in determining whether the information is held, then locating, retrieving and extracting the information
Disproportionate is not even the correct word to use when you compare that amount to their which reaches the unreseonable and deterrent price of£450!

(with such lengh of time, this estimation might at least include a basic training to use Excel...)
If they really spent £750,000 then publication of data must be an extreme threat to someone.
