<div>PACE trial apologists have attempted to silence and intimidate critics:<br />

<br />
An attempt was made to block publication of the special issue on the PACE trial in the Journal of Health Psychology by falsely claiming that it had not been peer reviewed [needs reference].<br />
<br />
According to Professor Jonathan Edwards "If you criticize PACE in the UK, there is a quiet phone call to your employer and the next morning you are asked to a meeting to reconsider your contract. I get emails from people to whom this has happened. The only reason why I am the only UK academic to call out on PACE is that I am retired so do not have an employer." https://twitter.com/MECFSNews/status/897756698303188992 [needs better reference]<br />
<br />
Patients that were critical of the PACE trial were targeted by a smear campaign that variously portrayed them as violent militants or activists engaging in a campaign of harassment [needs references].</div>Another Esperanza
