== PACE trial == ''The Lancet'' published the [[PACE trial]] results but has not released the data. A UK Tribunal has ordered the release of this data.<ref>[http://www.meaction.net/2016/09/06/uk-tribunal-orders-release-of-withheld-data/ UK: Tribunal Orders Release of Withheld Data]</ref> In a radio interview, Dr. Horton called the critics βa fairly small, but highly organized, very vocal and very damaging group of individuals who have, I would say, actually hijacked this agenda and distorted the debate so that it actually harms the overwhelming majority of patients.β He didnβt address the substance of the criticisms.<ref>[http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/medical_examiner/2015/11/chronic_fatigue_pace_trial_is_flawed_should_be_reanalyzed.single.html Slate - Health and Science - By Julie Rehmeyer]</ref> As of September 6, 2016, 12,233 people signed the petition ''Misleading PACE claims should be retracted''<ref>[https://my.meaction.net/petitions/pace-trial-needs-review-now Misleading PACE claims should be retracted - #MEAction]</ref> and the petition, when over 11,000 signatures, was delivered to ''The Lancet'' and made the ''Wall Street Journal''.<ref>[http://www.meaction.net/2016/03/08/meaction-delivers-lancet-pace-petition-makes-wall-street-journal/ #MEAction delivers Lancet PACE petition, makes Wall Street Journal - MEAction]</ref> Richard Horton has refused to engage with scientists such as Dr. David Tuller over the PACE trial and ignored requests of a response to the PACE trial scandal. Many have tried to contact him on Twitter regarding the trial but he has refused to respond and blocked them.<ref>https://mobile.twitter.com/johnthejack/status/936300924556988417</ref>.
