The Lion & The Donkey (fable) is a good lesson in general though it does not translate to issues where donkeys are in power, in which case it’s dangerous to ignore them 1

In the NICE debacle:

Lion = NICE

Donkey = opposition to new guidelines (small but powerful groups)

Tiger = supporters of new guidelines

Grass = GET: Green = harmful, blue = helpful

In the NICE debacle donkeys have had influence over the media and therefore the public for years:

In cases where donkeys hold power/influence apathetic lions/others in power should be doing more to prevent misinformation spreading like wildfire.

Not correcting the donkeys is irresponsible

Ignoring a problem allows it to snowball & sufferers will remain at risk if the donkey’s views aren’t challenged

Patient health is & should always be the priority

GET harms pwME/CFS
