Jennifer Brea's powerful film Unrest exposes the reality of Myalgic Encephalopathy or ME. This condition leaves people utterly exhausted, or as Brea puts it, like a broken battery, unable to charge beyond 10%.


Great article by one of my favourite authors!
I :heart: Dr Simon Duffy and CWR.

Weaves all the important stories together - Jen Brea, Unrest, PACE trial, psychiatric cover up, BPS, Wessely, Unum Insurance, Tuller, CDC, Countess of Mar, Science media centre,!!

When?
When Simon Wessely is arrested, tried, found guilty and imprisoned for his actions against ME and other patients.
or
he and vast majority of his victims are dead, that's how it usually works with the utterly corrupt, extremely evil British Establishment (see asbestos, nuclear/chemical weapon test veterans etc).

All about power, cover ups, keeping each other's ass covered.
Until he, as the man who's been honoured by the Establishment to protect him, has been broken and exposed as an abuser, this crap will continue.
See current exposes of other types of abuse by famous powerful people.
Not until heads roll (exposed, loss of patronage, contracts, honours etc), do things change.

Until we have a disease mechanism the reality deniers will have claim to legitimacy. Put another way if they tried to claim diabetes is not real and is psychosomatic (and take away people's insulin) they would be laughed off the stage and probably lose their medical licenses.
