So the management of QMUL have been told that senior academics are raising concerns over the PACE trial and the way the results are reported. If Gaskell and QMUL make more attempts to cover up the data it is because they are involved in hiding the results. Gaskell will become known as the person who backed a trial where recovery was defined below the level of the trial entry conditions.

Making sure key players are informed ensures they cannot claim they didn't know.

It's nice to see outsiders using words like ridiculed and marginalized to describe how patients are treated.

Be sure to click through, and vote-up comments and comment yourself if you're up to it. The feedback really does help to let people know that this is an important topic.

I agree - and thank the signatories! What they're doing for us is amazing. Their letter could be the thing that gets the data released.

Would it be possible for copies of this brilliant letter to be sent to the staff and students of QMUL? They should be made aware of what their university is doing to waste precious funds and trash their university's reputation.

No reason to believe it is more than a coincidence. At 67 it's pretty normal to retire.
