Kurt, don't forget the way that Wessely has spoken about the WPI study when it was first release and McClures comments since the replication. I did not select Wessely as my representative either and the way they have dismissively dealt with the study has been wholly unscientific including over stating the scope of their research. Both parties are being overconfident, both for their own motivations (as a guess, the WPI to keep up interest in XMRV and XMRV/CFS studies so it gets a decent bash and McClure and Wessely to protect reputations and the established psychological zeigeist) I'm not saying the WPI did the right thing, but the discourse is flowing both ways, it would be best if a truce could be agreed and all correspondence between both parties be solely backed up by science and not conjecture or expectation.
I agree with this, at least WPI are going for the biological cause which in mine and many other cases is the correct one.
I woke up this morning with painful knees and a sore throat due to swollen lymph nodes and I feel awful, as I mostly do and we've got that Weasel of a man Wessely trying to fob everyone off saying it's somatization. I fit the Canadian criteria to pretty much 95% and it's those like me who tested positive for XMRV in the WPI trials. For WPI's response I'm greatful.
Edit:
One more thing, as far as I'm concerned it's Wessely and his crew who are rocking the boat, not WPI, WPI did a great study and Wessel's gone out of his way to make them look like idiots. I'm sick of that ass.
