Please do not forget that Hotopf of Wessely's group is another

hired gun psychiatrist with insufficient ethics to play solitaire without

cheating.

He is the one who licked DOD's boots with a ridiculous article in the BMJ

in 2000 that claimed that it wasn't really vaccines that were the problem,

even though his own study (the Lancet, Jan 1999) showed they were the only

thing that could be linked to GWS. No, it was the problem of when they

were given and the stress, that terrible stress, associated with

vaccination, not the vaccines, no no no. This was a sop to DOD to show

that Wessely et al were terribly sorry about their Lancet paper blaming

vaccines. " Please keep funding us, we'll be good, " he whined. Later

Wessely came over to the US to see DOD with begging bowl in hand. Boy were

they sorry they had done good science, and promised never to do so again.

After two British interns showed that Hotopf's so-called statistical

analysis about the timing of vaccination was garbage, he had to retract

that conclusion about how it was stress, not vaccines.

But the slimy shrink couldn't do that like a man, either. No, his

retraction in the BMJ had so much doublespeak he made it sound as if he was

right all along.

Now Hotopf is a coauthor of two more BMJ papers on GWS. Of course, I am

convinced that this is the last word on the subject--NOT!

I am convinced that if his name is there, both papers can probably be

safely tossed without being read.

And Clauw MD, who has done some very good work in the past, also

generously funded by DOD, wrote the commentary this time. Oh No--this

doubletalk must be contagious, because Clauw seems to have caught it! Run

out and get your doublespeak shot right away before any more children die

of this dread disease!

Clauw acknowledges that " no specific environmental exposure, with the

possible exception (6 studies from 3 countries show vaccines caused GWS, so

it must be a possibility?) of vaccines given at the time of deployment, has

been associated with the development of these symptom complexes. " But then

comes more BS: " In addition, treatments such as aerobic exercise and

cognitive behavioural therapy have been found to be useful. " No Dan, your

JAMA VA study showed they weren't really helpful: the so-called benefit was

marginal and fleeting.

Finally, Clauw goes ahead, dumps the vaccine evidence overboard, and comes

up with this charmer, guaranteed to get him a million dollar grant real

soon: " But we don't serve these or other veterans well by focusing

inordinate attention on the specific exposure(s) that may have been

responsible for some rare cases of illness. "

That's right, Dan, let's be certain not to focus on the causes, for some

" rare " cases of illness (only 200,000 in the US alone with GWS). And for

heaven's sake forget those pesky vaccines. After all, you can die of

anthrax and flu, so grab those shots before we run out god forbid; and GWS

doesn't kill anyone, it just disables you!

I keep waiting to wake up from a horrible dream in which doctors deny

patients are sick, deny diseases have causes, and deny their patients

treatments and disability pensions. But I am getting old waiting.
