UPDATE: David Tuller’s fundraiser made its goal! A HUGE thank you to everyone who donated. You are helping David continue his important work on our behalf. Thank you to everybody!
David Tuller’s spring fundraiser is now live! Tuller has been tireless in his battle against the GET/CBT ideological onslaught! He has much more work to do and he needs our support.
Tuller has written more than seventy-five posts on Vincent Racaniello’s Virology Blog, spanning ten years. His articles comprise a full history of how the PACE trial was used to mislead health care providers into thinking ME/CFS could be cured with “a walk and a talk.” Tuller has taken on some of the authors of the PACE study and, despite threats from them, has continued to challenge their findings.
In 2021, Tuller explored the intersections between the pandemic and ME, including the overlap between ME/CFS and long Covid. He kept an eye out for new bad research (CBT/GET, Lightning Process) as well as keeping an eye on goings-on at the CDC, the NIH and elsewhere.
This year, Tuller will continue in his efforts. “Because of long Covid’s range of reported symptoms, many people with the illness have medical issues unrelated to ME and will not receive an ME diagnosis. But a great many will,” he says. “So examining long Covid in the context of these scientific debates over the source and cause of the devastating symptoms is critical to sustain the momentum of change in the ME domain and affirming the advances in the ME field that have been made to date.”
Last year, Tuller successfully raised money through Crowdrise in order to continue investigating and blogging about the PACE trial. The funds went to the School of Public Health at the University of California, Berkeley, which created a position for Tuller to continue his investigative work. Now, a year later, the funds have run out, and Tuller has to depend on the generosity of our community to continue his work.
The struggle continues! And David is fighting hard for us!
