Thanks, Cloud. No response yet, but it may take some time.

At least now I/we can publicly point out that the CDC was twice contacted, on July 8 and 20, about false XMRV information on their website. If they still refuse to correct it, we can only conclude that they are deliberately falsifying data to mislead the public about an infectious retrovirus of "unknown pathogenic potential" (Lombardi et al).

Yeah, I got that same response, Revday. And someone else got it after sending the first letter a couple weeks ago.

Come on, Dr. Frieden...is that the best you can do? :rolleyes:
