HIV AIDS was discredited by the Medical World en masse and Identified by one research group only. <br /><br />If we take your thoughts and add them to this analogy - that the consensus opinion is worth more than the valued research of one group - then HIV AIDS would be in our blood supply today and passing on throughout humanity. <br /><br />Oooops <br /><br />Perhaps one research group can make a difference.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368056645691128384.post-73591087320202315512011-06-03T19:26:16.171+01:002011-06-03T19:26:16.171+01:00I strongly disagree with your stance.

I truly believe the WPI and their staff are good people and have the best of intentions but the science isn't looking good for the XMRV/CFS link. <br /><br />There is nothing to be ashamed of when an honest mistake is made. However, because of their public stance they can't back down now and admit they detected a contaminant rather than a disease causing human retrovirus. <br /><br />I think nobody should be donating money to or buying expensive and unproven tests from the WPI. People with ME are unlikely to be able to throw good money away. If the Whittemore's can afford to spend money on an Institute to research this illnes then they should continue to do so. Maybe their money would have been put to better use giving funding to existing institutions and universities. I suspect the money would have gone a lot further and produced more published studies.<br /><br />As for Dr Deckoff-Jones, are we really to believe she is not acting as a mouthpiece for her organisation despite her disclaimer otherwise. The statements and accusations she has made recently are quite shocking and her opinion is listened to and believed by a large group of ill people who are siding with the only group who have seem to be fighting for them. <br /><br />The science goes above most of our heads, how many have relevant PhD's? Are we to truly believe everyone is out to get us or that all these scientists are in cahoots to shoot the WPI down. I know why people feel like this but it's not the same as the pseudo-science practised by psychiatrists.

Some group, probably within our governments, is TERRIFIED,of what WPI has found with this Retrovirus. So this "group" is attacking on all fronts. Hence getting Science to do a trashy thing. Hence NCI stepping backwards and saying it was contamination in the study. Some group got to these people. It's that simple.Sharon Stapletonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368056645691128384.post-60060339525342752072011-06-01T19:06:19.391+01:002011-06-01T19:06:19.391+01:00HA! couldn't stay away. really like knowing yo...HA! couldn't stay away. really like knowing your 'conclusion.' interesting point of view. <br />crossing fingers and toes that Lombardi et al win out!!! this is soooo important!!!~Elisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03467607357435049939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368056645691128384.post-48301126748644003242011-06-01T10:29:48.198+01:002011-06-01T10:29:48.198+01:00It's infuriating and it is bullying.
