Wessely must have voted against... Who else?

Come on, we know Lord Voldemort is smarter than that. I'm sure he's ordered the Death Eaters to vote 'yes' so he can then claim the poll is too good to be true and must have been rigged (even Saddam used to give the other guy a couple of per cent).

641 patients were enrolled but why wouldn't they want their data released? It can't possibly identify them and if I'd risked my health in a clinical trial I'd want the best possible use made of my data in the interests of myself and other patients. That means data-sharing with other researchers, not letting the PACE authors hang onto it forever. I'd want to see the protocol-specified analyses done.

Any patient who has kept up about the issues will want the data released, IMO. And I think it's especially in the interests of the patients in the trial that that happens.
