So why on Earth isn't someone considering creating a coxsackievirus B / echovirus vaccine, that would stand a very good chance of preventing most cases of ME/CFS, apart from those triggered by EBV, and a few rarer ME/CFS-associated pathogens.
Or is only death considered serious, but a lifetime wasted to ME/CFS is just considered medically trivial, not worth bothering about. There's only 17 million of us ME/CFS patients worldwide, languishing in miserable limbo, so I guess they think it's not worth developing a vaccine for us.
Though even if medical authorities only consider death as serious enough to pull their fingers out and get on with it, in the following thread I calculated that coxsackievirus B is probably killing 36,000 people per year in the US alone, by precipitating sudden heart attacks, likely due to coxsackievirus B heart infection:
Coxsackievirus B vaccine appears feasible, and might conceivably abolish ME/CFS in future
I actually had experience of such virally-induced heart attacks: as the enterovirus which triggered my ME/CFS spread to friends, family and acquaintances, it precipitated sudden heart attacks in three previously very healthy people. One of them died, another had viral myocarditis for many months after.
It amazes me sometimes how slow medical science is in putting two and two together when it comes to apparent infectious pathogenic causes of death and disease.
