Apparently You Ladies with 'Chronic Fatigue Syndrome' Aren't Crazy!
So, a while back, a scientist found a link between XMRV and Chronic Fatigue. But then no one could duplicate that result, so we all went back to thinking that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome was caused by hysteria, by which I really do mean “nutty ladies with a free-floating uterus.” Just more ladies, imagining more things. Ta da! Now a scientist-a man scientist, no less! The chief of the infectious disease at the NIH, even!-has said that the association between the gammaretrovirus and the syndrome “is very strong,” and that the FDA and the NIH have confirmed the original survey. Science. What’s next? Are “menopause” and “Lyme Disease” a real thing too?
