Whittmore Inst. ~ Neuro immune community, ( CFS/ME ~ retrovirus in vaccines)

[Guest guest]

The readers of this blog will no doubt be aware that Dr. Judy Mikovits, the

former research director of the Whittemore- Institute presented

information at a poster session of the First International Conference on XMRV in

September of 2010 that in a small study 14 out of 17 children with autism, who

had parents with ME/CFS, tested positive for signs of a retroviral infection.

(This was in addition to her reporting that 66 out of 101 patients with ME/CFS

showed signs of retroviral infection. The research was published in the journal

Science. It has since been retracted, although further research is continuing,

and the controversy shows little sign of abating.)

The outcry that research into this possible retroviral connection to

neuro-immune diseases has often reached fever pitch. Accusations of

contamination, and counter-claims of government cover-ups based on concerns that

the retrovirus might be contained in vaccines or that vaccinations might cause

the virus to flare-up, and fears of enormous corporate and governmental

liability have filled the news. When the news reported that Dr. Mikovits was

first fired by the Whittemores, then sued for theft of intellectual property,

and eventually jailed for five days, many may have wondered if everybody

involved had lost their collective mind.
