PACE trial[edit | edit source]
The Lancet published the PACE trial results but has not released the data. "In a radio interview, he called the critics “a 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.” He didn’t address the substance of the criticisms."[4]
