If NIH's Nath doesn't like accountability, transparency, and criticism he should get out of American science immediately.
"This study has become a hot potato, and that’s clearly taken Nath, and others at the NIH, by surprise. I doubt many there are used to such sharp and informed criticism from patients. Nath was clearly a little frustrated with the level of continued public criticism from patients, which he feels is now harming the study by putting off researchers he wants to help. One scientist told him “I don’t want to have anything to do with it, I’ve got enough things that I’m doing.” Others who typically say yes to Nath haven’t got back to him with his request to work on this study." h ttp://www.meaction.net/2016/04/27/nih-study-will-bring-new-technology-and-expertise-to-mecfs/
