CFS/ME: Swedish couple lost hope, kill their children, committ suicide. Why? In part because of the intense negativity spread by individuals/CFS groups/researchers, saying cause is bodily defect and nothing can be done. False. The children could get well!
Conversation
Claims of illnesses being psychogenic have been made many times in the history of medicine. Rheumatoid arthritis, peptic ulcer, diabetes, cancer, asthma, and so on. There never was any evidence this was true. Just like now there is no real evidence that they are true for CFS.

That tweet won't age well. Just awful.
Again deriding severely ill patients trying to get quality research funded as hysterical maniacs. It's the lack of research that despairs #pwME.
ME patients have only positive interactions with the biomedical researchers. Learn from this.

Taking advantage of a tragedy to attack the patients’ community is not appropriate. At all.

By that logic, no doubt you should start promising quack cures to other incurable diseases as well?

Hi Henrik! Congrats on directly contributing to that very loss of hope that causes events like this. You must be so proud of yourself.

Not only does this replicate a Donald Trump tweet, it replicates the insensitivity, tactlessness and lack of intelligence for someone awarded with responsibility in their field.
