- If raw data from the trial shows that the public has been misled even more than so far identified then there should be a public inquiry
- The MRC invests in research on behalf of the UK tax payer.
The taxpayer has been ill-served by the PACE Trial.
The MRC should therefore examine the possibility of having the funds for the PACE Trial returned in part or in full to the public – and from there to be allocated to biomedical research into ME.
- It must be considered whether the Principal Investigators of the PACE Trial be barred from receiving any further public funding for future research into ME.
Great to read, it certainly doesnt hold back.

I don't think the evidence is strong enough to prove fraud. There is one single exception to that, which I now think can prove fraud. Over time we need to push that. It only applies to one investigator, though if we look more deeply this might change. I don't want to discuss this more in any thread as its about highly sensitive information.It was beautifully worded. I think the Wessley cabal should be charged with fraud and misuse of taxpayer funds.
