Steven Salzberg's Pseudoscience at Forbes

Today Forbes' Dr. Steven Salzberg joined the XMRV naysayers, penning the piece "Chronic fatigue syndrome: virus hypothesis collapses further." Salzberg went a step further, labeling Dr. Judy Mikovits a "pseudoscientist." The post is my response to it.

Keep a note of all these fok...one day we may well have right to sue them, for being part of a "Tuskegee Writ Large". ;)

Either XMRV is linked ot CFS, or not.
That is the question, it is not a question any arrogant SOB can say yay or nay to, for many years.
To be frank, the "medical" science community is riddled with blind, blinkered, arrogant, non-scientific, belief-driven, commercially-compromsied nitiwts and bedeviled with a callous disregard for the facts, the possibilities and the suffering they ignore.
Do I HAVE to mention the vast amount of pharma corp crap, including criminal prosecutions and deaths, to prove this, hm?

This is just damn typical of the pretense of "scientific non-bias" and need to force opinions, not facts, on others.
Religion maybe dying, but it's problematic adherents are infesting other areas, now, to compensate! :p

Alas my damaged brain cannot remember a quote I used oot know so well, that is very apropos here, damn it, sigh.
Any recall it?
Along the lines of:
"At first the truth is rejected
then accepted
and then anyone questioning it is themselves an outcast"


While these gobshytes strut like peacocks, folk like me slowly deteriorate, damn their egos! :/
