It's been said that some of the greatest tragedies happen because those in charge fail to ask the most basic questions.
Consider the fire which swept the Apollo 1 capsule in 1967, killing all three astronauts. A spark ignited the pure oxygen atmosphere in the spacecraft. Every high school chemistry student learns pure oxygen is highly flammable. After an exhaustive investigation the conclusion was that no engineer had asked whether the simple question of whether it was safe to have a pure oxygen environment in the capsule.
I was reminded of the Apollo disaster when I read a recent post by Dr. Jamie Deckoff-Jones entitled Cover-up and Contamination Theories. HERE Dr. Deckoff-Jones is a former emergency room doctor, chronic fatigue syndrome/ME patient, and is currently the clinical director of the Whittemore-Peterson Institute of the University of Nevada/Reno. However, the blog explicitly states the opinions expressed are hers alone and do not necessarily represent those of the Whittemore-Peterson Institute.
The simple question Dr. Deckoff-Jones asks in her post is whether the culturing of viruses for vaccines in certain animal tissues, such as mice, has resulted in the combination of endogenous human and mouse retroviruses and caused both the chronic fatigue syndrome/ME and autism epidemics.
Dr. Deckoff-Jones begins by asking how those who claim XMRV (xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus) is a lab contaminant explain that the blood of chronic fatigue syndrome/ME patients contain antibodies to XMRV. Anti-bodies can only be produced in the body, thus any later contamination of the blood in a lab would not provoke an immune response. Read more>>
