Sick and tired: Online activists are silencing us, scientists say

quote [ The idea of critics or activists challenging researchers and seeking to hold science to account isn’t new. Most researchers say they are happy to engage in discussion. But with social media, email and internet now accessible from almost every home, mass communication gives online activists a voice with unprecedented power. In the field of CFS/ME research, it’s often personal. Those at the centre of it say it’s gotten out of control. ]

About spiralling opinions and people's troubles to grasp new-age illnesses.

Yes, but has everyone considered that all scientists are witches and should be burned at the stake? -comments section

Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?

This is actually about how the "graded exercise" approach to CFS/ME improved things for 5-7% of participants and actually worsened things for 20% of participants. The article is either extremely biased or is trash journalism trolling for clicks.
