Thanks Dr. John! His horrible bias must be addressed and Lancet should air the fatal faults in the PACE study (I have written to him).

Dr. Horton,

I support fully Dr. John Greensmith's letter to you at Lancet on publishing more of the critics of the fatally flawed PACE study.

I was also completely disgusted to hear your horrifying and anti-science remarks on the Austrailian radio show on 'ABC.' Wessely, White et al are in the company of Mengele in the pantheon of sadistic physicians. Defending them and attacking patients is a moral crime.

Justin Reilly, esq.

Thanks for the support Justin. I wonder how many he could ignore? Best wishes John

Your lack of political skills is a serious problem, my friend. That kind of language is only going to get you completely ignored by anybody in any position of influence, and will just help them dismiss us as raving loonies.

Grow up.

I see your point. Do you think I'm too harsh on them or do you just think we need to downplay how bad they are so we don't get dismissed?

Growing up is no fun. : )
