I am not sure how less impaired is related to diagnostic criteria. A mild or moderate ME patient is less impaired than a severe one, but they are all ME patients. If you are suggesting less impaired means not having ME, then i can begin to follow, but the answer to patient manipulation is not...

Agree with everything said but would add: I am not sure if there is a direct link between the duration of a grant and a breakthrough discovery. 5 years is probably a very common grant duration and I am sure Ron Davis would have applied for the longest duration available to ensure continuity of...

I do think it's the case. Simon's power is waning and now he relies on people like this. Simon only cares about the message being sent out, nothing else. Regardless of his involvement, he will likely think this a very successful outcome.

It also confirms our suspicions around the timing of the article. There was no other explanation other than Simon reaching out to his old 'friends' for favours, in a time of need.

Maybe she caught the travelling bug from Richard Horton.

Just FYI, Ron did mention this application just after he was turned down for the research collaborative centre grants.

She doesn't seem to be too active on twitter, but just noticed her most recent tweets were promoting a joint event between BMJ and Swiss Re on the Science and Politics of Food. Doesn't bode well.

Should we notify her on twitter ?

They're more serious. But if every article concentrates on the same items we might miss a new angle. The new angle exposes a side to the PACE brigade, that they can conceal until we temporarily, for the sake of argument, accept A, B and C.

It's his last resort. Pity, it was fun while it lasted.

I think the point of the article is not that you have to accept any of those assumptions. That's just how he is pitching his questions, or framing his argument. His article is about the silence of others, it's not another rehash article of everything, that is why he is setting everything else...

Is this an admission the trial was a waste of time ?

This was picked up in NYT. A Common Virus May Play Role in Alzheimer’s Disease, Study Finds

Yes for the most part although a few are still fanning the flames. Not sure where the MEA association stands, but they did get a response from Ricky Gervais.

Seems to be a bit of exercise promotion going on.

Me too. I see people tweeting about it and I groan even more. Time to let it go, get our priorities in order. Is it an unfortunate by-product of Unrest?

I guess you just weren't specific enough

This is from another thread but thought I'd add it here. Would be good to understand why there isn't more funding for this study. Also, I would guess Mark Davis' work will have progessed a lot in the next few years if he continues to get funding from OMF. Is there a fear that a PhD study...

I didn't read this but I fear the Rickey Gervais angle could easily backfire on us. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/711428/Ricky-Gervais-Fame-ME-joke-MP-Steve-Brine-Apologise/amp?__twitter_impression=true
