It’s mind-boggling that someone like Per Fink has control over #ME and #LongCovid treatment in Denmark.

He denies bio research, refers to debunked PACE trial and has seriously harmed patients (Karina case). The man should not have any influence at all. 1/4

His horror clinic is literally called: “Research Clinic for Functional Disorders and Psychosomatics“. Their outdated view on M.E. is right there in the name.

Of course he sent complaints to NICE. He based his entire clinic on something NICE has found to be nonscientific. 2/4

M.E. is a confirmed physical illness. Everyone can look that up easily. In 2019 it was finally decided politically in Denmark too. It was decided that Per Fink should have nothing to do with M.E.

Still, nobody cares about that and they just continue their pseudo work. 3/4

#LongCovid is officially a “functional disorder” in Denmark. These patients will be sent to his clinic too.

The people in Denmark who could stop this madness are supporting the pseudoscientific group “Recovery Norway”. It’s not about patients it’s about connections. 4/4

Also, fun fact... On Fink's website, they currently link to the 2007 NICE guidelines. I wonder what they will do when/if the new guidelines are finally published?

#ME #PublishThatGuideline

Here is a link to the article where Per Fink comments on NICE situation.
