The New York Times does something not absolutely horrible on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Several big questions for Dr. Maureen Hanson

Now that Dr. Maureen Hanson has stirred the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome pot and identified an "altered composition of the gut microbiome" in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients, it is time for a new direction in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome epidemiology research based on her work. Research to answer four obvious questions would be a good starting point:

1) What percentage of the family members of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients have the same "altered composition of the gut microbiome"?

2) What percentage of the sexual partners of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients have the same "altered composition of the gut microbiome"?

3) What percentage of the close friends and colleagues of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients have the same "altered composition of the gut microbiome"?

4) What percentage of the pets of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients have the same (or similar) "altered composition of the gut microbiome"?

And, of course, there is a fifth very inconvenient question. What percentage of AIDS patients  have the same "altered composition of the gut microbiome"?

These are the kinds of questions that the sociopathic scientists in charge of AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome generally avoid at all cost. It could be career suicide for any scientist to ask them or even write a grant proposal to research them. Hopefully Dr. Hanson will have the "altered guts" to ask  them.

Can one make the case that the nosology of AIDS involves circular reasoning about HIV positivity?

We asked Perplexity A.I. to make the argument that Castleman's Disease undermines the nosology, epidemiology, and virology of AIDS.

If the establishment decides that the nosology of AIDS is wrong and HIV is not the cause of AIDS could that be considered a Black Swan event?

Are any endogenous retroviruses reactivated in AIDS and do any of them act like superantigens?
