What I find interesting in the context of the works of the doctors Mikovits, Lombardi and Ruscetti is that no scientist has tried to properly take their work apart. Not Abbie Smith of erv-blog fame, not Dusty Miller – certainly not Coffin, certainly not Racaniello and most certainly not Dr. Alberts from Science. Lipkin is positively oblivious to what Mikovits has done.
Passing off VP62 plasmid as one's own isolates is plagiarism.
The 100% peak shift is the result of falsification, not a process the human body.
Table 4 from the "addendum" can realistically only be explained by fabrication.
VP62 has been talked about. But are there any consequences? Except a retraction and Mikovits getting sacked? An inquiry that would clear things up? Find a verdict? What about Ruscetti? Or even Lombardi?
The 100% peak shift has been mentioned once in the comments of erv's blog. Once. In the comment section. I am deeply impressed by Abbie Smith's courage in going up against Dr. Ruscetti, while at the same time restraining herself from indulging herself with moronic ME/CFS-patients. It would be a lot easier for her to get into a bitch fight with some deluded patients and ignore the possible fraud of Dr. Ruscetti – thank GOD she is not doing that, and thank god she has her priorities set straight.
Table 4? Nobody cares. Nobody gives a fuck. Nobody has really looked at Lombardi 2009, Mikovits 2010 and everything they published in that context. There are most certainly more other clues to their fraud in there. Table 4 is easy. Really easy. Even I get it.
"The science will sort itself out!". Yet it's the 95% ignorant scientists who make the fraudulent 1% look good. The 4% who care are too chicken to really do anything.
I don't know what I want most: An apology? An explanation? Honest words? The declaration of all acts of falsification and fabrication? Justice and punishment? Quite frankly, punishment is not high on my list, I'd rather have honest words – but if there is not some form of light being shed on this affair by the major actors, I will quite gladly settle on punishment instead. It's a pipe dream. There will be no honest words. No explanation. No shedding of light. And no punishment. Most certainly no justice.

Comments are most welcome! But please:
- No SPAM whatsoever, no supplements, no pharmaceuticals, no herbs or any other advertisements
- Absolutely no quack-doctors pushing their quack-BS websites (and if you are a quack, I will call you out)
- Be critical if you want to, but try to be coherent
Comments are moderated, because I am tired of Gerwyn-V99-The-Idiot and his moronic sockpuppets, and tired of the story of the two dogs, but I will try to publish everything else.
If you are not Gerwyn (and want to tell me something other than the story of the two dogs), then relax and write something! :-)

You fail science forever
It has all been explained quite properly and clearly. You just haven't been paying attention to anything that doesn't fit your preconceived notions. That twit, erv, made up the big lie and you didn't get it?
ReplyDeleteThere was no falsification, fabrication or plagiarism. At worst there was a small mistake in labeling a slide and Silverman contaminated his own samples.
And now you want to smear Ruscetti as well. Disgusting!
There is nothing quite like a courageous little anonymous to set things straight! Tell me, friend, were was it "quite properly and clearly" explained? Do take your time, I'm waiting.
ReplyDeleteI have two questions for you: Did you read table 4 from the Addendum? And if so, what did you find?
What's furthermore interesting, you don't seem mind me "smearing" Lombardi and Mikovits? (And no, I'm not smearing, I'm stating the obvious, BTW) And youself smear Silverman and call erv names? How uncivilized of you.

Well, I did. The problem is that the story is so weird that people just won't believe it. What is going on here is that most things in the CFS community is Masonic trickery: patients see something else and as long as they will keep on doing so, they won't be aware of reality.
All it takes is to see the story of the two dogs. Once you are aware of it, you will see it everywhere - and because it is everywhere, you will see it in the CFS community too. And once you are aware that it is present in the CFS community, you will understand the Lombardi et al. paper.
It is just a trick, it isn't real. The Lombardi et al. paper is not about a biological virus, it is about the virus in the story about the two dogs. To be more specific: the virus is Mercury and the body infected by the virus is Apollo. And when Mercury meets Apollo, the biggest disaster ever will occur...
In order to understand what is going on here, we just have to try to see the story. The story is present everywhere but most of us will never notice it.
Sorry Marc, no "Masonic trickery" involved – just people writing papers and making claims in talks.
ReplyDeleteI will give two examples (there are more).
ReplyDeleteThe Lombardi et al. paper refers to 101 patients and in Roman numerals, 101 equals CI. The riddle to solve is 'where do we find CI in the story about the two dogs ?'. There are several solutions - the best solutions being CI as the shape of the stargate around the constellation Monoceros (the stars in the European Flag refer to the same 12 stars) and also, it is the Midsummer Solar Eclipse (C) merging the two celestial dogs in the constellation Monoceros emerging the One (I). This is what Mikovits did before when she murdered cancer patients with vitamin C.
XMRV is a code stating that we have to cross (X) the M, R and V in the Latin name of Mercury (Mercurius - where, in Latin, the 'u' is a 'v') to obtain Apollo, hidden in an anagram. The solution of the anagram is: 'is cure' and this is right since and Apollo is the Deity of Medicine by his son Aesculapius.
XMRV is a contamination of Mercury and Apollo - where a contamination refers to merging in literature and not to something that went wrong in a laboratory. This explains why CFS patients are 'tested' positive and healthy people didn't.
In fact, ME is just another name for Apollo and 'myalgic encephalomyelitis' is an anagram for 'Magic lie: note ME physically'. This is Masonic trickery. Lombardi, Mikovits and the Whittemores are Freemasons. Most CFS quacks are Freemasons (or Scientologists). All we have to do is to see the two dogs in a quack test, a quack therapy or whatever and when we see the dogs (Mercury and Apollo, the constellations Canis Major and Canis Minor, separated by the Milky Way in the constellation Monoceros/Unicorn), we have solved the riddle.
There is no science involved here, it just is a trick. This is why there is no progress in CFS research. The new 'Research without Walls' just states that there is no Milky Way (the Wall) between the two dogs in the Sky (that is: there is a Solar Eclipse going on) so the dogs can search for each other in Monoceros. There are similar codes in the Retuximab-story (the B-cell, just like the T-cell, is Monoceros).
One you see the two dogs, everything will be clear.
Sorry Marc, what you write makes no sense. Your comment adds no usable information. It has nothing to do with XMRV, Mikovits, Ruscetti, ME/CFS or reality. What you write exists in a fantasy world, not reality.
ReplyDeleteI am not wasting my time discussing your fantasies, please understand that in the future I will delete such comments.
