Two years ago, the possibility of XMRV as a causative agent of CFS raised high hopes for unequivocal validation and rapid means by which CFS could be objectively diagnosed and effectively treated.
Today, the journal Science has published three important articles:
1.“Failure to confirm XMRV/MLVs in the blood of patients with CFS: a multi-lab study” by Graham Simmons et al. on behalf of the Blood XMRV Scientific Research Working Group (SWRG);
2.“Partial retraction” by Robert Silverman et al., regarding a portion of data published in the initial report from Vincent Lombardi et al. dated Oct. 9, 2009; and
3.“False Positive” by Jon Cohen and Martin Enserink, a provocative eight-page news article by two staff writers that follows XMRV from initial discovery up to the present.
man, this is tiring...
