It may be worse than mere conspiracy theory: I am wondering if what
@Annikki posted here might be construed as hate speech (which is illegal).
When these conspiracy theories first emerged that there was some plot to hide a positive XMRV finding in ME/CFS, these theories incited a huge amount of anger in the ME/CFS world, and as a result, a UK virologist who published one of the first of many negative results regarding XMRV in ME/CFS, started receiving a barrage of hate email, full of violent comments that verged on death threats.
Do you really want to incite that sort of hatred again?
