Review protocols so 'robust' That Cochrane continues to endorse graded exercise therapy as a treatment for ME even though the decision is based on extremely poor quality research and flies in the face of the experience of millions ME sufferers. #pwME #MyalgicE #StopGET #MEcfs
Cochrane’s decision also ignores more and more research like this demonstrating the negative effect exercise has on ME. #pwME #MyalgicE #ScienceNotStigma #MedEd #MEcfs #health #GPnews

Are Cochrane’s editors unduly influenced by the authors of the flawed research? How else can their decision to defend research that's dismissed by academics around the world be explained? How can they ignore the mounting evidence that shows exercise harms people with ME?
On the corrupt Establishment network, including @BristolUni academics, @cochranecollab and @bmj_company attempting to "white-wash, obfuscate or justify" unscientific behaviour. #pwME #MyalgicE #MedEd #MEcfs #health #ScienceNotStigma #Research

In a nutshell:
The co-author of two papers widely criticised by scientists and academics for multiple ethical violations has written a "risk of bias" tool for @cochranecollab which @bmj_company published online.

"... this revision makes it easier for unblinded studies relying on self-reported outcomes to be assessed as having “low risk” of bias. In fact, studies with this design are at high risk of bias." Unsurprisingly, "they are favored by members of the CBT/GET ideological brigades."

"ME/CFS patients have impaired natural killer (NK) cell activity. NK lymphocytes are a critical first defense against viruses and cancer. ME/CFS patients have difficulties controlling viral infections and many develop non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma."
"In our study, we observed that the two main energy-generating mitochondrial pathways, oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis (bioenergetics parameters), are deregulated in ME/CFS NK cells and in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)."
Hi folks! It’s @SexWorkHive here for our Monday night takeover. Today we're tweeting from the International AIDS Conference in Amsterdam. We're here all week, drawing attention to sex worker issues from around the world. [Thread] 
@SexWorkHive Yesterday we held a Sex Workers' Networking Pre-Meeting and over 150 sex workers came along, from many countries all over the world.
@SexWorkHive Sex workers have a long history of organising within the HIV-AIDS movement. Positive* sex workers are often stigmatised as 'spreading' HIV, but we are part of the solution, not the problem. nswp.org/sites/nswp.org…
