Thanks Cort, for your comments on Dr Bishop helping Dr Mikovits. Very kind of you to make that clear.

Dr Bishop won't get funding because of her involvement to Mikovitz. the Weasel and the entire UK research and health care system will cock block all research attempts to link a retrovirus to CFS/ME. Just like with Kerr, it won't happen in the UK.
