==PACE trial == David Tuller covered the [[PACE trial]] results for ''The New York Times'' in February 2011.<ref>{{Cite news | url =https://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/18/health/research/18fatigue.html | title = Psychotherapy Eases Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Study Says | last = Tuller | first = David | date = 2011-02-17|work=The New York Times|access-date=2019-08-14|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331}}</ref> However he became concerned about the trial and wrote a further article regarding case definitions, which resulted in a letter to the editor in response from the PACE trial authors. This led to him investigating the trial and its authors further after contact with others in the patient community.<ref>{{Cite news |url =https://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/08/health/research/08fatigue.html | title = Troubles of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Start With Defining It | last = Tuller | first = David | date = 2011-03-04|work=The New York Times|access-date=2019-08-14|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331}} </ref><ref>http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/15/health/15letters-STUDYINGAFAT_LETTERS.html</ref> Tuller is sympathetic toward the cause of the [[ME/CFS|myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome]] (ME/CFS) patient community. In an article in 2015 he wrote: <blockquote>"In the course of my reporting, I’d realized that the disease was both devastating and widely misunderstood. People were really, really sick—some were homebound for months and years at a stretch. Yet their condition had been saddled with one of the most condescending names ever given a major illness."<ref>{{Cite web | url = https://alumni.berkeley.edu/california-magazine/just-in/2015-11-30/reporter-excoriates-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-study-i-stopped | title = Reporter Excoriates Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Study: I Stopped at 14,000 Words-Enough Was Enough | date = 2015-11-18 | website = Cal Alumni Association|access-date=2019-08-14}}</ref></blockquote> In June 2017 after writing dozens of articles and organizing open letters on the PACE trial, David Tuller sought crowdfunding help from the ME/CFS patient community to continue his work on investigating the PACE trial. MEAction had an exclusive interview about his crowdfunding effort.<ref>[http://www.meaction.net/2017/06/08/interview-with-tuller-on-pace-work/?mc_cid=fd937eaa3d&mc_eid=83ddbd3a71 Tuller on PACE Investigation Plans: Not Beholden to anyone].</ref> He raised it on Crowdrise [https://www.crowdrise.com/virology-blogs-trial-by-error-more-reporting-on-pace-mecfs-and-related-issues1/fundraiser/davidtuller Virology Blog's Trial By Error: Reporting on PACE, ME/CFS and Related Issues (2017)] and succeeded and actually exceeded his goal within four weeks. The funds raised went to the Center for Scientific Integrity who transferred them to the School of Public Health at University of California, Berkeley, which in turn created a position for Tuller to continue his investigative work.<ref>{{Cite web | url = https://www.crowdrise.com/virology-blogs-trial-by-error-more-reporting-on-pace-mecfs-and-related-issues1/fundraiser/davidtuller | title = Click here to support Virology Blog's Trial By Error: Reporting on PACE, ME/CFS and Related Issues by David Tuller | website =CrowdRise|language=en|access-date=2019-08-14}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web | url = https://www.facebook.com/thisweekinvirology/posts/1422844667771846 | title = This Week in Virology | website = facebook.com|language=en|access-date=2019-08-14}}</ref> In 2019, Tuller began by covering the [[UK Parliament Commons Chamber debate 24th January 2019|UK Parliament Appropriate ME Treatment debate]], criticizing both the UK government response from Under-secretary [[Steve Brine]], and the [[ME/CFS]] training course offered by the [[Royal College of General Practitioners]] which Steve Brine had praised during the debate.<ref name="stevebrine">{{Cite web | url = http://www.virology.ws/2019/01/28/trial-by-error-steve-brines-troubling-claim-in-parliamentary-debate-on-me/ | title = Trial By Error: Steve Brine’s Troubling Claim in Parliamentary Debate on ME | last = Tuller | first = David | authorlink = David Tuller | date = Jan 28, 2018 | website = [[Virology blog]]| archive-url = | archive-date = |url-status = | access-date=2019-01-28}}</ref>
