i thought that this would be sn opportune moment to summarise where we are with XMRV at the moment as the situation appears to be getting quite confused:
XMRV has been detected in 67%(later revised to>90%) of patients examined who fullfilled the Canadian Consensus document diagnostic criterea.it has not been dtected in patients who did not.
no need for 100,s of studies or convoluted slow consensus processes(which are not part of either scientific argument or method) just a nice simple fact
Ladies & gentlemen, the Kurt & Gerwyn show is in recess for 24 hours (or more maybe?).
Fear not, the entertainment probably continues somewhere else on this site (anyone found it?).
re above, Gerwyn, is that fact? Some say not. Seems it has yet to be corroborated.
Though I do agree, it shouldn't take so long to confirm or disprove it.....but it is.
Gerwyn, your "dispute" with Kurt seems to centre on whether he is qualified to comment or not. Well, what a sad world it will be if we all have to have certain letters after our name in order to comment on certain things. Like you have to be Alex Fergusson (M o MU) to judge whether Wayne Rooney was really injured or not.
Brainpower, creativity, logic, collaboration....that's what we need. If you, Gerwyn, Kurt , and all the other brains on this forum (present company EXCLUDED) could get your heads together CONSTRUCTIVELY, then we might make some progress. We can't wait for the research community to do it, they have their own agendas, not ours.
Gather that energy and that intelligence. Direct it. Make it work. Please.
