Wow, I was completely unaware of all this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whittemore_Peterson_Institute#History
I thought people just pretty much ignored CFS and put it down to lead-swinging.
All that fits in rather nicely, though, doesn't it? What else do you know that I don't know?
Further googling around uncovered these guys:

Well I've done some research into organizations and followed the news over the years, done some googling. It seems to me that CFS research has not focused enough on exploratory research looking to track down the root cause of the illness with an open mind to all biological causes. Lots of time and effort is wasted waging a pointless argument about whether the illness is psychosomatic or not, rather than accepting that it is biologically caused and looking for the cause. Time, money and effort is also wasted trying to find treatments for an illness whose etiology is unkonwn.
