An excerpt:
To procure the safety of blood derived products a standard procedure is used for viral deactivation. For HIV a deactivation by these procedures has been proven. As XMRV is also a retrovirus, an inactivation is assumed with highest likelihood.
(with regard to XMRV and CFS)
With respect to the still missing scientific foundation, there is no basis to support an awareness campaign
Does the Austrian number of cases correspond to the internationally accepted prevalence of 0.3 0.5%, and if not, how would you explain the discrepancy?
Responding this question, based merely stationary treatments would not be reliable
The neurological departments of our public hospitals serve as primary CFS centers for diagnosis and treatment
(rem: they do not even know how to spell CFS!)
How many patients with suspected CFS attended the institute for occupational and environmental medicine of the university clinic AKH Wien? How many of which were diagnosed with CFS and how many got a psychiatric diagnosis instead? (rem: the institute is the only CFS center in Austria, they always turn down the diagnosis in favour of another psychiatric disorder)
The minister presents a completely miscalculated table:
***** no. of patients // CFS / CFS unclear / no CFS
2003 3 // 3 / 0 / 1
2004 3 // 0 / 0 / 3
2005 4 // 0 / 2 / 2
2006 3 // 0 / 1 / 2
2007 9 // 2 / 1 / 6
2008 2 // 0 / 1 / 1
2009 4 // 0 / 0 / 4
2010 3 // 0 / 1 / 3
Total: 30 // 5 (3.3%) / 4 (13.3%) / 19 (63.3%)
I do know however that in reality has only been one case, or 1/30 = 3.3%. Obviously the numbers were faked just before presentation and they failed to recalculate the table.. ;-)
9 people (rem: nationwide!) (4 female, 5 male) receive disability support due to CFS
