This means they didn't find a single XMRV positive? how is it possible? XMRV exists right? so there should be some XMRV+ even if in a small percentage of the people tested no?Conclusions
We did not find any evidence of infection with XMRV in our U.S. study population of CFS patients or healthy controls by using multiple molecular and serologic assays.
Thanks for tips Pollycbr125 on lift on embargo - good to know others in the UK are up and following as our friends across the pond start their day.
How do you think the lift on embargo works with the statement released by the CFIDS facebook yesterday - claiming that the lead scientist - Prof Atler is holding back from publication to review work?
Do you think the NIH/FDA paper will still be released today?
There is clearly come conflicting messages being communicated.
Thanks again
I will say it again, "A TEST IS ONLY AS ACCURATE AS THE INTEGRITY OF THE SPECIMEN" The CDC wouldn't know a true case of CFS if it fell on them.
