@TomChivers @GavThorpeCreate Curious to know if the defenders of CBT/ GET presented any scientific argument or was it all emotional/anecdotal and slander?
@TomChivers @GavThorpeCreate Do you believe the people who stand to lose everything (their careers and stature) or the people who have lost everything?
In your entire life have you ever come across somene who doesn't want to get better? That is what they want you to believe.
@TomChivers @GavThorpeCreate Tom, you have a scientific window that every scientist looks out. Is the data reliable? Why did they change the outcome measures? Do you think it's OK to change an outcome measure to give you a result you want in a clinical trial? Would any pharma company get away with that?
@TomChivers As part of you research did you find this? The most damaging harassment is FOI requests. As a journalist would you agree with this?
I guess if your career depends on people not finding the truth then you might consider FOI to be harassment.
@TomChivers @GavThorpeCreate You are wrong Tom. There is science and there is non science. Seriously, if you can't spot the difference you are in the wrong field.
Asking for someones opinion on non science when they have built a career out of it is hardly worthwhile is it?
@WesselyS PACE was a non replication until the outcome measures were changed - you'd have to agree with that Simon? It's documented that's why they were changed, to give the results you and the PIs wanted. Maybe this will refresh your memory https://t.co/KhGUZ60t4o
@Good_Reports@SarahChapman30 By tweeting the slide you're basically asking everyone what do they think. Caroline is telling you what she thinks.
And now you are trying to own the conversation by criticising her comment, instead of listening and accepting that her point is very valid.
It's the first anniversary of this paper. A lot of it was only possible due to Alem's heroic FOI victory, which the #PACETrial team fought so hard to stop. That surely wasn't because the real results weren't as flattering as they had presented them?
