The WPI sent positive control samples.  The CDC refused to
use them.

The WPI split the samples and sent them to other
labs.  Those labs found the virus.

The cohort problem is essential to understand.  Carruthers
et al. 2003, the Canadian Case Criteria, describes people
who are suffering and dying from a serious neurological,
endocrinological, and immunological disease.  The cohort the
CDC used for its study included mostly healthy people.

This is an old CDC trick.  It has done the same thing many
times since 1988.  You can read any of their papers for
confirmation: they study people who do not have the disease,
then claim to study the disease.  They were also responsible
for naming the disease with the name that makes it seem like
it's just being tired all the time.  Virologists including Shelekov
and Komaroff resigned in protest at the time.

The PNAS study by Alter et al. must be published verbatim so
that scientists, the media, and everybody else can evaluate
it.  Please note that change.org has a petition on this very
topic.
