Dr. Alter Paper embargo ends today at 3:00pm, press conference today

[LJS]

Q&A: (Randy Schekman, editor in chief of PNAS) Why I delayed XMRV paper
http://www.the-scientist.com/blog/display/57628/

WOW!

 

[Sunshine]

Great find LJS. Is this guy Simon Wessely's twin?

Randy Schekman:

''I would hope that he would do that next or someone would do that next before the NIH calls for clinical trials and certainly before patients start being treated with antiretroviral drugs off-label. That could be a very bad consequence of this.''

NB: 86.5% of CFS people XMRV+ in the Alter/Lo paper, even more than the 85% previously reported.

Not in PNAS early edition today It's okay I can wait a day to read it now that we know the results.

Here is a link to follow XMRV media coverage as it shows up in Google News. You can bookmark this link and it will always have the latest stories at the top.

Right now there are links to stories from the NY Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and Nature.com.

eta: Oops, I thought I was in the media forum. See post below for the media thread.

LOL! The link to the CDC's XMRV info is not working -- at least not for me.

Well ... the CDCs link to XMRV - did it ever work? ;-)

CDC, FDA, and NIH investigators have been collaborating with scientists from other agencies and groups with regard to XMRV and MLV research, and they will continue to do so

I thought the CDC stopped and burried that thing already?

Holmes criteria would have been used in 93!!

 

[usedtobeperkytina]

well, I called metro paper, Birmingham News. He was interested. I gave him phone number of someone else to interview. He talked to her, but she lives in another pat of the state, so he asked me. I said ok.

So, there you go. If it is good, I will post it. If it isn't, I won't.

by the way, Birmingham News is major newspaper, largest readership in state.
