[CBS]

Stephan Monroe, director of the C.D.C.s division of high-consequence pathogens and pathology, said the agency believed that infectious agents could be one of many possible triggers for the disease but that no pathogen had yet emerged as a primary cause.

Carefully worded so as to avoid raising any doubt about the CDC's presumptions that CFS is a maladaptive psychological response to a common infectious episode.

The more I hear this type of double speak, the harder it is not to wish this disease on someone like Mr. Monroe.

He said, if the reporter got him right, that the CDC believed CFS could be triggered by an infectious agent...as in 'might be'...as if that question is still up in the air? I hope the reporter got him wrong.
