New Youtube film by the cleveland clinic about XMRV
- Thread starter VillageLife
- Start date
They put this up on April 1. And it is a slick production with a relatively high budget. And they are promoting the XMRV discovery as one of the most important they have made in their history. They would only do this if XMRV was still looking really good.
They don't mention CFS, but that is understandable. Ultimately this is a PR video, and CFS is still a bit risky to be throwing around.
This makes me feel really hopeful. Thanks for posting it.

I heard one mention of CFS, too, but then it was all prostate cancer.

I agree julius, this is a quality production and the CC would only spend money on the promo if XMRV was still looking to be causative for prostate cancer.
CFS did get an awkward mention. @ 4:28:

With the exception of a couple of studies, they're not finding XMRV in prostate cancer in Europe. Yet, that is not stopping the prostrate/XMRV research funding here. The disparity (awkward pause) is frustrating!

Would that be something like Hugh Grant? :tear:

It sounds like they borrowed someone from the BBC!
cool video, very heartwarming, especially with scott hamilton at the end!
The British Broadcasting Corporation
Very occasionally these days, the BBC does employ someone with a 'regional' accent. I was laughing (I suppose you realise this) at your stereotype of a British accent. That would like an American accent wouldn't it?:tear:

Hahaha! I have a vague understanding of the different types of British accents but apparently they are quite complex. I guess a BBC accent is roughly equivalent to an American CCN accent -- which is an approximation of how people speak in Nebraska, apparently. If you want to be a broadcaster you must go to a speech coach and get your regional vowels beaten out of you!
Whenever there's an ad or documentary that wants you to think their product/subject is Classy or Very Serious, they use a British (Hugh Grant/BBC style) voice-over. If American accents are used in the UK, I doubt it's for Classy/Serious. ;-)

Thanks for posting this Maarten. I'm grateful to the Cleveland Clinic and happy to hear that medical scientists are excited about XMRV.

Great video! Very touching. They did mention that XMRV may be causing CFS. Its nice to put a face to the names we have read about.
