You might like one of my favourite quotes, which is from Middlemarch, by George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans).
“People talk about evidence as if it could really be weighed in scales by a blind Justice. No man can judge what is good evidence on any particular subject, unless he knows that subject well.”

Again, I believe you have missed the point. Have a good day.

So you feel a complete lack of mention of an external review when discussing being put on pause is “full disclosure”?
Would you use that logic with a patient consent?

Did you read the minister’s statement? It is clear the meeting with the chair of the EER was part of the decision.
And I ask you to answer my question if you will.
Do you feel there is full disclosure in the petition? Enough to ask for a signature?

I do not know the final EER report and that is not the point. If you read my article, it is about the lack of transparency that is exhibited by the task force.
Again, would you consider it to be full disclosure without the mention of an external review? Enough to get a signature?

Read minister Holland’s statement. The point is not about the content of the EER. The point is that while Holland stated that it was a cause for the pause, it was completely ignored in the petition. Would you consider this full disclosure to a patient before asking them sign a consent?

It’s a good query.

I’ve also never seen a formal equation weighing recalls against avoidable late stage cancers (and the attendant heavier treatments and higher mortality). It’s ultimately just a judgment call by the person writing the guideline, no matter how much the analysis is framed as “rigorous”.
