My guess is that they'll escape most of the trouble by retiring on full pensions as soon as things get too hot. I think they're just using the media etc to delay the crash so they can make as much money as possible before they have to retire or face the professional consequences. Once they're retired, the powers that be (the associated universities and govt agencies) will brush it all under the rug with some kind of "that was then, those people are all retired, move on, nothing to see here" attitude. We won't get much satisfaction, I'm afraid. They may lose scientific respect, but they won't care anymore. They'll be too busy golfing and vacationing in Majorca on their ill-gotten gains.
Chalder perhaps?
Dislike.
Indeed, but they are not the major perpetrators of this horror, so they'll probably be able to escape most of the responsibility as long as they don't keep up the ME patient abuse. Chalder may be too involved to avoid responsibility or professional impact, but too young to escape through retirement. I'm not sure any other of the major players are in that situation.
Yep.
