XMRV is thought to be transmittable. If a person has XMRV with a diagnosis of ME/CFS then it may turn out that they will receive a more appropriate diagnosis of XAND (X Associated Neuro-immune Disease.) So XMRV and CFS are not mutually exclusive. In fact the study showed that XMRV antibodies were found in 95% of samples.
If a simple explanation is found for CFS then the same can be said for MS and other neuro immune diseases, cancer etc. Medicine, disease and the research required is complex, not simple at all. Read the WPI study and see for yourself.
