Just stumbled upon this gem. Graham McPhee was a retired mathematics school teacher and ME/CFS patient activist/advocate. He played an important role in exposing the flaws of the PACE trial. Sadly he passed away in 2021.

He wrote a very funny satirical post back in 2016 to show the ridiculousness of the PACE trial. And while funny, back then this was still a very dire issue. At that time CBT and GET were recommended treatments and the PACE results were set to only reinforce those guidelines. After a lot of hard work the US and UK guidelines were updated to no longer recommend CBT and GET in 2017 and 2021 respectively.

Hope some of you also haven’t seen it and enjoy it as much as I did.
