Thanks for the article Jody.
Sometimes it feels more like the gutter than a ghetto. The gutter is the place where rubbish collects ready to be flushed away into a sewer out of sight and that IMO, is the whole purpose of the CDC study, Its an attempt to discredit all previous research proving the existence of XMRV and get it flushed away out of sight.
But as we all know, sewers start to stink after and this whole episode with the CDC study is beginning to smell to high heaven.
Different test tubes,people recruited as test subjects by phone who have never even been diagnosed with ME/CFS and some working a 48 hour week, disregard for the standard Canadian profile for CFS symptoms, and last but not least, data supplied by a previous head of the CDC who has always stated "XMRV doesnt exist".
Your right Jody, both the CDC and the NIH/FDA papers should have been published at the same time and evaluated by peer review.
Now will somebody in the US government please sort this mess out and give the long suffering CFS patients hope at last that their condition will stop being regarded as a psychiatric problem.!
