Let’s take a quiz. I have a letter that was sent on behalf of Dr. Francis Collins, Director of NIH, to a person with ME, and I want you to guess when that letter was sent. Here’s an excerpt:
First, let me express my heartfelt concern for you and the millions of other men and women suffering from ME/CFS. This is a terrible disease and we must all work together, doing what each of us can, to find safe and effective treatments for ME/CFS and restore lives to health.
When do you think that was written? Ok, here’s another quote from the same letter:
It is through the receipt of meritorious research proposals that funding can increase.
Have I given it away? Here’s the last quote:
In early September, Dr. Collins reiterated NIH’s commitment to accelerating biomedical research focused on ME/CFS.
Ok, pencils down and all that. When did NIH send that letter?
