...Maybe the UK have been told they weren't aloud to say XMRV was here...but thats unlikely, how would they ever get away with it. You cant get away with stuff like that in 2010, can you?
I think the UK Government/doctors have a lot to be worried about, people have been treated like dirt that have CFS/ME....they know we are going to want pay back. You couldn't think of a bigger scandal, doctors/nhs treat people with CFS/ME like there insane....then it might turn out they actually had one of the most serious illnesses - a retrovirus.
I was treated so badly by doctors in hospital, they made me go for runs - being pulled along, held my hand tight and made me go for long, long walks - Up hills, through the countryside and sometimes with no shoes..... wouldnt let me lay down and made me go to school, (result I nearly died) then in the end they said, oh well...you do actually have CFS.
