The ME/CFS activism is ridiculous. I hope we never end up there. People are afraid of presenting their scientific studies because of them. A group of researchers where I live were harassed and threatened after publishing their study.
It does not matter if psychological treatments work. And they seem to work. It doesn’t make you less physically ill. Psychological treatments work for managing physical illnesses too. And if someone recovers entirely with such treatments, that doesn’t mean all others can. It’s not a threat to their self-worth that experts want to do research on psychological components of ME and psychological treatments.
The ME/CFS activism community is a danger to itself and a danger to the independence of medical research.
