Will this madness only be stopped when there have been numbers of deaths from treatable conditions undiagnosed because of the meaningless and harmful fictitious diagnosis of 'MUS syndrome'?
When will such as Prof Chalder admit they have invented a pyschiatric syndrome with no evidence base whatsoever and are pretending it is a diagnosis, and have defined it in such a way as to make achieving any meaningful diagnosis less likely for those poor people subject to what is in effect an unscientific belief system dependent on a logical falacy and on ignoring vast amounts of biomedical research?
It will stop once all the underlying conditions are finally understood. In the past few years they have lost quite a lot of victims in POTS, EDS, MACS, dysautonomia and others. That still leaves millions, with us likely making up the largest such group along with FM. But they will eventually lose them all as science progresses, as it always does. I doubt anyone faced significant losses for confidently declaring diabetes, MS or tuberculosis to be psychogenic either. They did what every failed prophet does and moved on to another prophecy with equal confidence.
Eventually they'll run out, as surely as the natural sciences eventually ran out of natural phenomena people could point to and, in complete ignorance, declared that not knowing the cause, it MUST be God and nothing else would ever explain it any better so don't bother researching that, it is beyond our human ability.
But meanwhile they will still happily harm us because they never face the consequences of their folly and in fact do very well personally. They built their careers on the suffering of millions, got awards, high-profile positions, even a freaking knighthood. The physicians who published the research demonstrating that smoking was harmless likely did not suffer personal consequences either, even though they knew it was fraudulent.
They won't ever admit fault, though. It will be up to us to force accountability into the system.
