Did we see this one? Hornig and Lipkin are involved.
Chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) is associated with pandemic influenza infection, but not with an adjuvanted pandemic influenza vaccine.
I don't think they are saying it is exclusive to H1N1, only that the virus gave them the opportunity to see ME/CFS patients onset. Otherwise I believe we would see everyone who had H1N1, or very high number, go into ME/CFS. I think it came along and found those genetically disposed to going into ME/CFS and could have been mono or another viral flu or toxic mold exposure or a reaction to environmental exposure or bacterial infections... you get the idea, the H1N1 just got to them before another virus, etc.
However, it is proof that this is not a psychiatric illness and a vaccine is not responsible for onset.
Anyway, I don't remember seeing this before so I am posting.
