Recently heard something related in a documentary about ME/CFS where scientific results (research about cell damage potentially causing patients not regaining their energy) was burried in favor of a not very scientific paper from (work)psychologists that instead proclaimed that the issue is mental and the patients just need to be motivated more. This affects the treatment (or better mistreatment) of patients even today.
Money affects which results get published and how far they are spread and this is very dangerous :/

Think about all the unjust, needless shaming and the very severe consequences against ME/CFS victims who are literally damaged at a cellular level, but treated as lazy, so left to DIE if they can’t provide for themselves.

Not only that, but patients who got sicker from overexertion because they were sent to a physical rehabilitation center. Or doctors being careless with overly invasive diagnostics or treatments. And then being left alone because obviously you didn’t want it enough to really try otherwise your situation would improve…

One of the sickest forms of serial killing ever invented, on a mass-scale, and no one realized it.
