Firstly, I didn't say that they were wrong - I said that their advice was
unreliable. Please read what I say and don't misquote.

Secondly, my "some reason" includes having read official statements saying
precisely that the advice was being changed on economic grounds, as well as
being sufficiently clued-up to be aware of the target-based politics in
the NHS.

Thirdly, I am a statistician, and therefore far better qualified than 95%
of medics and 99% of the NHS and politicians to evaluate such data.
