Reminder to self: When someone shows you who they are, believe them the second time if you can’t bring yourself to believe them the first time. Don’t leave it till the third or fourth of fifth time because then you should definitely be angry with yourself. And you know, life’s too short for that…

Petition "Cochrane: Withdraw the harmful 2019 Exercise therapy for CFS review" chng.it/zTZ7vX9Czd Update: www.s4me.info/threads/s4me... Image is from the latest Science for ME weekly update #MEcfs #CFS
Science for ME petition Cochrane: Withdraw the harmful 2019 Exercise therapy for CFS review
Update: On Cochrane's excuses for scrapping the replacement review process they set up: Part 1
This part examines the first excuse given by Cochrane, a lack of resources to oversee the review, pointing out it was Cochrane that made the process overcomplicated, and much of the work has been done. "Do personal allegiances outweigh a commitment to good science? An alternative no-cost solution would have been to withdraw the Larun review - there are good grounds to do so. Why is Cochrane so determined to maintain the Larun et al review, in the face of such substantial costs to people with ME/CFS and to itself?"
