They are lying. They do know better but they lie. The politicians lie. The authorities lie. Even the experts are lying here. Long-term chronic illness after infections has been known for decades. They are all lying about it, covering it up in plain sight.

Somehow every country is pretending that it's only happening in that country, and nowhere else, despite all of them knowing it's happening everywhere. It was predicted, it was documented, and still they are pretending not to know, because the medical profession is complicit in this Big Lie.

Let the threat of those consequences motivate them to close their misery factories. All that matters is that this evil industry stops, and to liberate the millions of people they crush under their incompetence. For that there has to be real, severe punishment. It has to be remembered forever.

As if you can intentionally immiserate and destroy tens of millions of lives and just shrug it off. Bunch of weak, spineless babies. "So be it", one of those cranks said. So be consequences, I say.

It's inevitable that this empire of death and misery will crumble. Most likely because of AI. The walls are closing in. And because they never actually think about what will happen after, let me make it clear: there will be consequences. The consequences will match the scale of the crimes.

I have sadly been following the crankery machine that is psychosomatic ideology for years. They never actually think about the possible consequences of being wrong. Never actually do, it never gets any further than what it could possibly mean for them, it's always completely superficial.

However, the physical function criteria of ≥85 meant that virtually no-one met the criteria at the end of the trial, so not only did they drop the concept of 'recovery' for the main trial paper, but they massaged it heavily when it came to the actual 'recovery' paper. ≥85 became ≥60

They might be very hard problems, clearly some of the hardest ones medicine has ever faced, but this doesn't even tell half the story. The failure is entirely a choice, fanatical insistence on healing mind magic and similar failed ideologies. Total death of expertise stuff.

Richard Vallée @richardvallee.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Anyone who still doesn't understand why there has been zero progress made with Long Covid, POTS and ME/CFS needs to understand that all of this is intentional. It's medicine being incapable of letting go of their psychosomatic fairy tales that ruins everything.

Richard Vallée @richardvallee.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

So-called "evidence-based medicine" in a nutshell: doesn't work, recommend it anyway. They don't care. No wonder zero progress occurs in illnesses where this failing approach dominates. If this were a commercial product it would be banned. There are no adequate checks & balances in health care.

It's sad that we can't trust anything they say about it. People suffering from chronic illness have been betrayed so perfectly for so long that weak statements like this ring completely hollow. Until something is actually done to correct the blatant denial of justice, words mean nothing.

Those with #MECFS who do *not* "look" fine are often treated like garbage too, because more ill often means more to blame. Many doctors who believe ME/CFS exists only accept a certain degree of disability, beyond that is then assumed must be due to personal issues rather than the illness itself.

But that's the current reward structure: lie, bullshit, make stuff up and get ahead. The line between scientific medicine and alternative medicine has been effectively destroyed, and it's the medical profession and its institutions that did it intentionally.

Richard Vallée @richardvallee.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Randomized trials are by far the least reliable form of evidence out there and this is just one of so many reasons. Because they still conclude that it should go to larger trials. Which they know is complete bullshit, failure on loop. They are not testing anything. They are selling a lie.

The enshittification of academia in a nutshell: an open label trial with subjective assessment of the very model of care that has been failing the whole time, which they obviously know but pretend not to, is presented as double-blinded when it's not even single-blinded.

Same reason lots of people take Trump seriously: they agree with his hallucinations. Humanity has a crisis of accountability, in part because most people are wrong most of the time, and no process is self-enforcing. Science is not "self-correcting", it has no agency. People choose everything.

001

Richard Vallée @richardvallee.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

It would be great if there were at least as much concern about human hallucinations as there have been about AI hallucinations. Especially because human hallucinations are clearly getting more frequent and influential over time, while AI hallucinations are not.

* There are people in the medical profession trying to help. They are on their own, with no institutional support, largely acting against those institutions and their leadership & wider membership. They are showing true courage, doing the right thing when it's massively unpopular to do so.

Richard Vallée @richardvallee.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

The discourse about how AI will impact humanity hits very differently when you understand that your life fully depends on its success. Solving chronic illness, or even just helping, is not a technical issue, nor even an economic issue, it's just human nature at its very worst.

Richard Vallée @richardvallee.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

It's the worst it's ever been. And that's saying a lot. It might be one of the least popular issues out there, with the public and with medical professionals. Literally less popular than Nazis. Medicine* isn't going to help with this, folks. Not gonna happen.

But we are a species that still resists moving ASAP to renewable energy years after they have been the cheaper, better option in the midst of a crisis in the subscription model of fossil fuel energy. It's a generalized problem. Everyone is 12, all the way to the top.

There is really an immense failure at the top of the health care industry. No strategic thinking. Essentially wasting billions in funds to sacrifice tens of millions of lives and the net result is trillions in resulting losses and moral degeneracy. It was always cheaper to work at solving it.

The most insane thing about this #MECFS scandal, beyond all the suffering and neglect, is that it costs hundreds of times more in economic losses every year than it would to fund the research that could eventually decrease this burden. The degree of short-sightedness involved is astounding.

There is not a single exonerating factor here. Not one. Everything about this human-made scandal is worse in context, the more context you add the worse it is, and most of that context is hidden, happens in secret, behind closed doors. And it's not about to stop. In fact it's getting worse.

Richard Vallée @richardvallee.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

The exact same set of choices were made on Long Covid, and they had the exact same outcomes: total failure. It's very hard to achieve 100% failure, especially for professionals. There is an element of fanaticism about it, in this case zealous belief in psychosomatic ideology, and lots of hubris.

1121

Richard Vallée @richardvallee.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

The most important detail about this scandal is that it's 100% a choice. The responsibility of the medical profession is on the same order as what the tobacco industry did about the harms of its products. All of this is a choice. They know. We keep telling them. They don't care. Not one bit.

Richard Vallée @richardvallee.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

They choose to do this, no one is making them. They want to do this, would do the same thing if none of the completely interchangeable quacks involved in this had existed. The fish is rotten from the head down, and all throughout.

Richard Vallée @richardvallee.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

This has been going on for decades, and nothing has changed, because of the complete lack of ambition and motivation, of no institutional support, and a culture of total indifference. It's extremely hard to fail this hard at anything. People will have to be severely punished for this.

Richard Vallée @richardvallee.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

In project management, you have to balance between 3 priorities: cost, speed and quality. Choose two, compromise on the other. Medical research for disputed illnesses fails completely at it: slowest, most expensive and worst quality possible. The quality isn't there. Neither are useful results.

Richard Vallée @richardvallee.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

700+ trials and it's almost all garbage. The lack of progress is a direct consequence of a complete lack of ambition and motivation. The systems and institutions don't care, make no effort at it. No one's responsible. Zero progress made. Easy to find the problems here, they're excessive.

The elevation of mediocre frauds like Simon Wessely to the heights of medicine and the elevation of Donald Trump to the powers of the US presidency, twice, share a common root. It's the same flaw. Being right or wrong is irrelevant. What matters is influence, power. Power loves punching down.

Abstract

Background: The PACE trial was a well-powered randomised trial designed to examine the efficacy of graded exercise therapy (GET) and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for chronic fatigue syndrome. Reports concluded that both treatments were moderately effective, each leading to recovery in over a fifth of patients. However, the reported analyses did not consistently follow the procedures set out in the published protocol, and it is unclear whether the conclusions are fully justified by the evidence.

Methods: Here, we present results based on the original protocol-specified procedures. Data from a recent Freedom of Information request enabled us to closely approximate these procedures. We also evaluate the conclusions from the trial as a whole.

Psychosomatic ideology is basically NFTs applied to health and almost no one has the courage to admit and point out that it's blatantly evil and destructive. It's garbage like this that makes it necessary for AI to take over. The absolute peak banality of evil.
