Dank, Nijn.
Van zijn site geplukt:
Simon: "However, these days, my main research interests these days lie in military health and how people and populations react to adversity I am also very involved in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education."
Eerste deel bevestigt zijn huidige bezigheden.
Tweede deel doet zwaar vermoeden dat ik nog invloed kan uit oefenen op studenten.
En dit staat ook ergens:
"I still see CFS patients to this day, and that keeps me in touch and remains very satisfying."
Afgaand op volgend artikel zit ie er dus inderdaad nog:

Maar gezien vnl de vele economisch belangen.........:
Insurers/medical insurance companies involved:
Wessely is a member of the supervisory board of a company named PRISMA. This same company is being paid many millions of pounds to supply ‘rehabilitation’ programs (such as CBT and GET) to the NHS for use on ‘CFS’ patients (Mar 2004, [Online]). Wessely is also an officer of the insurance giant UNUM. A friend of W., Peter White is one of the chief medical officers for insurance company Swiss Re.
Other insurers involved include: LoCascio of UNUM, Swiss Life, Canada Life, Norwich Union, Allied Dunbar, Sun Alliance, Skandia, Zurich Life and Permanent Insurance, and as Re-insurers, the massive Swiss Re. The goal of these groups has clearly been to prevent insurance cover for M.E. patients (those with a psychiatric label are denied medical insurance cover), to prevent disability payments to them and to prevent successful liability lawsuits and maintain the supremacy of their industries (Hooper 2003, [Online]) (Hooper et al. 2001, [Online]) (Williams 2007, [Online]) (Rutherford 2007, [Online]).
Wessely is adviser to the UK government and his wife (a GP and psychiatrist) is Senior Policy Adviser to the Department of Health. Wessely was also recently reprimanded by the World Health Organisation (WHO) for attempting to subvert the ICD definition of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis due to the fact that he did not, as he claimed, have the authority to issue a WHO definition (Hooper 2003a, [Online]) (Hooper et al. 2001, [Online]) (Marshall & Williams 2005a, [Online]).
.......is dit zeer te betreuren.
As Dr Elizabeth Dowsett comments, these ridiculous financially motivated theories bear as much relation to legitimate science ‘as Astrology does to Astronomy’ (1999b [Online]).
